Dan and Jake Go to School

Today was Dan's day off so he and Jake brought Meg lunch at school. Jake saw Auntie Carrie as he was walking onto school grounds so he ran up to give her a hug and a kiss. Dan and Jake then got to have lunch with Meg, Auntie Carrie, Sarah, and Mary. After lunch the kids came back into the classroom and Jake got to help Mama read them a story. Jake has "Where the Wild Things Are" just about memorized so he was able to give Mama a hand. The kids were thrilled to see "Baby Jake" and he was grinning ear to ear being in front of the class. Meg tried to have him sit on her lap during the story but Jake saw a Jake-sized chair and pulled it up next to Mama in front of the class. Jake was happy to point out some of the things the class might be missing, like the moon in the window and Max's Sailboat, and the kids really enjoyed him. Mama seemed pretty happy to have lunch with her two guys too.

The morning after-"Mama open this. Jakie needs it"
Candy is good! Even kitty cats think so.

Did you say candy? Look at the concentration on their faces. Can you tell what they are working on eating?

Grammie came trick or treating too.
I get candy?

We had a great Halloween. It was so much fun this year. We got to be with family and good friends. The Quicks served us an excellent dinner as always and hosted the festivities. Jake really loved his costume and he was pretty fond of the trick or treating too, especially since he got to go with his buddies Sofia and Peter. But most of all he is really digging the candy. Did you catch that in the pictures? I can't wait for Christmas it is going to be lots of fun this year!

Grandpa's In China

Jake's grandpa went to China in September on vacation. Somehow Jake got it into his head that Grandpa had gone all the way to China to get him some glasses. We have absolutely no idea where he got that idea, but he was absolutely sure that was grandpa's whole reason for going to China. We made sure that grandpa knew to get some glasses before he got home. It would have been big trouble for grandpa if he came home without a pair. In the picture above you can see the glasses he came back with and the panda that Jake absolutely loves.
