Penn State Evan
For Halloween we decided to have Cora dress up as a Penn State cheerleader while Will was the Nittany Lion mascot. Since we had two of the three kids in Penn State gear we decided to put Evan’s Penn State jersey on him and have a photographer come in and take some shots. These are just a few of the Evan outtakes.

Evan’s First Penn State Game
Amy and I were planning on going to the Northwestern game (Penn State was in town) and we went back and forth over taking Evan with us. It was a night game, he did not have a nap, would he be interested, etc? At the last minute he asked us if he could go so I of course could not resist. By Evan’s age – I was already committed to going to Penn State so I thought I would give him the same chance. I did not get any commitment from Evan that he wanted to go to Penn State but overall he had a pretty good time.
With that said, if you ask him what his favorite part of the game was he will tell you it was going home. His second favorite thing was getting to hug the Nittany Lion (pretty lucky guy). He also liked screaming with the other fans, and eating the big hot pretzels (he had 2).

Halloween Decorations
Evan really enjoys decorations and one of his favorite (and Amy’s) is our Halloween Winnie the Pooh blow up. Denise put up orange lights on our front bush, Amy put up all kinds of window clings, and a spider web on the back bushes, but each day Evan gets excited when he sees his friend Pooh in the front yard. In this picture, the man of your dreams is holding Pooh’s hand and is super excited he is getting his picture taken with his yard friend.

Goeberts 2011
We generally go to a local pumpkin farm (Goeberts) once a year around Halloween to see the sights, buy some pumpkins and donuts and play around. This year we went with Evan’s friends Kelly and Jack. Although it was a very windy day, Evan had a blast playing with Jack, Cora, and Will. At the end we picked out the perfect pumpkin, and enjoyed some treats on the way home. We look forward to going back next year. In the meantime – check out the latest photos from Goeberts.

Love in My Eyes
Evan came home the other day from school and told me:
I looked at Molly and I saw love in my eyes
I thought Evan had a crush on one of the little girls in his class but then just yesterday he told me he was going to ask one of his neighbors to marry him in 50 weeks. Look out ladies – Evan has arrived.

September Fun
We decided to take some photos of Cora and Will in action around the house to show some of their daily activities for anyone who does not get to see them on a daily basis. They are two busy little kids always on the move eating, playing, seeing what Evan is up to, and then moving on to something else. Some of their favorite actives can be seen in these new photos including standing on the stool Papa made for Evan, playing with the dog food, and playing with their big brother. Make sure to check out the latest photos.

18 Month Appointment
Will and Cora went for their 18 month appointment this afternoon – cannot believe they are getting so big! They checked out great and only had to get their flu shots…which was nice.
Will was awesome – calm and relaxed during his whole physical. He is becoming a bigger boy.
Weight – 25lb 1oz (71st percentile)
Height – 33 inches (86th percentile)
Cora was not so calm. She cried as soon as I put her on yet table actually was not even so sure about going into the little room.
Weight – 20lb 13oz (32nd percentile)
Height – 30 1/2 inches (25th percentile)
Evan also got his flu shot – so we are good to go. If we have a fabulous winter without colds then we do not have to go back with Will and Cora until May. We will see.

Evan’s Music Lyrics
I listen to a lot of music now that I did when I was younger – including 1990s dance music and Beastie Boys. The other day Amy was getting Evan in her car and he told her about the “I got the power – I will attack and you don’t want that” dance song. (The song is harmless) It was pretty cool to see he is actually listening to the lyrics, enough so to repeat them.
We also were in the car the other day listening to old school Beastie Boys and when it got to the lyrics “You got to fight for your right to party” Evan started singing “You got to find your way to the party”. That was super cute!
Needless to say Evan is constantly observing everything so we have officially moved into the “be careful what you say” stage.

Cora Love Shoes
Cora loves her shoes and anyone else’s that she can find. She especially loves to find her big brother’s shoes and put those on. Whenever things are a little quieter than expected – we can pretty much guarantee she is rounding up shoes to try on. Before she could walk she would even seek out shoes, put them on her hands, and crawl around with them. We really will be surprised if she does not have some huge shoe collection (as well as other accessories). I know what you are thinking…just like he mom Jen. Perhaps the shoe/accessory obsession just skipped a generation.
