Falling for Fall

Sorry, folks. We know it’s been a long time since the last post, but it’s just hard to find the time these days to take pictures, not to mention post them on the web. Here are a couple goodies from the past couple months.

Great Aunts Jan and Barb came to visit in August. We celebrated with a visit to the Dallas World Aquarium via the DART train. Jan was the lucky one who got to entertain Seth on the way there!

We’re big fans of the short buzz cut for little boys–so much less work–but here is an attempt at giving Seth daddy’s hairdo.

Mommy’s a sucker for the holidays. Here is Seth getting in the spirit with his mummy shirt.

Thanks Grandma Peggy and Grandpa John for the personalized glow-in-the-dark shirt!

Seth wanted nothing to do with carving pumpkins. Of course, Daddy was gagging through the whole thing too!

When you always want to sing “Bringing Home My Baby Bumble Bee,” this costume only makes sense. He liked trick-or-treating this year!

Reading is still one of Seth’s favorite things. Here’s story time last night with Daddy!

Well, that’s all we’ve got for now. Hope you’re all doing well. For those of you who haven’t heard, we are expecting Weadock Wee One #2 in May! Wish me luck on getting through these sick times and on ever getting pictures posted again:)

Terrible Twos, Here We Come!

The big birthday weekend has come and gone, though we’re still sorting through clothes and toys. Thank you to everyone who came for the weekend, the party or sent fun gifts. Here are the highlights!

Grandma Peggy and Grandpa John surprised Seth w/ a balloon bouquet on his actual birthday.

Okay, this one really has nothing to do w/ Seth’s birthday, but it’s too cool to leave out. We toured the new Cowboys stadium and this is a shot of the 7.5 story jumbotron!

Uncle Andy and Seth building something w/ Seth’s new tool bench. Hey Andy, maybe you can hire Seth to help you add a 2nd story to your house!

Seth w/ Dodo and Papa just before party time.

The Wielands w/ their new addition.

Seth loves destroying sand castles in his new sandbox from Grandma Peggy and Grandpa John.

Time for presents! He’s gotten much better at tearing through the paper.

Up until the actual day of the party, he swore all he wanted was “CAKE!”

Maggie returned from a month-long vacation w/ Papa Earl. Seth was so happy to have his buddy back, he shared his crushed ice with her.

We visited the doctor today for Seth’s 2-year check-up and he’s doing well. Physically, he’s above average height with about an average weight (hmm, who does that sound like?) and he’s above average developmentally. We couldn’t be more proud. Thank you for taking the time to check the blog. Feel free to leave a comment and let us know who’s out there! We love you!

Florida Fun!

We just got back from 10 days in Florida and had an amazing time. Thank you to everyone who let us invade their house w/ a 2-year-old!

Seth and Mommy on the airplane on the way to Florida.

The whole Lincoln clan (Sean’s family) on Great Grandma Mary’s front porch.

What trip to the country would be complete w/o a lawn tractor ride?!

Seth’s second cousin Zach and his new bride Annie (the wedding was a little wet).

Seth at his first trip to the beach. He liked all the “dirt.”

Our little beach bum family.

Seth and second cousin Kelly in Mt. Dora. He’s rough, but we promise he did not give her that nasty bruise!

The losing team in our mini golf tournment. Not pictured: Sean, me, Uncle JD and Justin. Yes, all 6 of us lost to Uncle Brad.

First jet ski ride. Did we mention that this lake is full of gators?

Seth and Daddy on the Jungle Cruise at Disney World.

Mommy and Seth on the Buzz Light Year ride.

The place where dreams come true.

Seth’s dream come true–another stuffed animal!

Not all dreams come true. This is Seth and Mommy on the plane ride home. Not only was vacation over, but we felt like we wrestled an octopus named Seth for nearly 3 hours!

As always, we love to read your comments. Next up: 2nd birthday party pictures.

Summer Fun and a New Cousin to Boot!

Okay, I know I promised to be better about updating the blog, but I hope you can see from the pictures that we’ve just been too busy having fun!

Another try at the 4 generation picture at Aunt Nat’s baby shower.

Crazy Great Aunt Susie!

Our living rug (aka Maggie) continues to grow.

This is the way to get some peace and quiet around the house!

Seth, Dodo and Mom at the Kingsland 4th of July parade.

It’s a holiday, so we blew it out w/ sugar!

Quite the ladies’ man! Seth w/ Loren and Emma Pelky.

The sweaty family awaiting the fireworks. Seth thinks “crackers” are awesome!

Not even 2 years old, and he loves the tube!

Dodo’s jacuzzi tub makes baby shampoo turn into crazy bubbles!

The famous last supper (just before heading to the hospital for induction).

Nat and Seth’s new cousin Ryan.

Dodo and baby Ryan.

Seth helping announce Ryan’s arrival to the Wieland’s neighbors.

Mommy’s last visit w/ Aunt Nat and Ryan.

Stay tuned for pics from our Florida vacation and Seth’s 2nd birthday party!

Holiday Madness

Sorry for the long delay in getting some updates to you guys. Life has been nothing but madness since mid-November. Enjoy the pics!

Happy (Late) Halloween!

Sorry for the delay. In addition to the holiday festivities, we (with the help of the Pickerings) have been doing some remodeling in the house. Unfortunately, Papa Earl “doesn’t do painting,” so we’ve been up to our elbows in it since they left. Anyway, let’s get to the cuteness.

Knowing that no mom would send their kid to daycare in costume, Noel made each of the kids personalized shirts to wear. Here is Seth showing his off before heading to daycare on Halloween morning.

Seth helps Papa Earl take a break from construction. How many times did he make you read that tractor book, Papa?

Finally it’s time for trick-or-treating. Unfortunately, a fluffy, padded St. Bernard puppy outfit is not very forgiving in the Texas heat. We only made it to 4 houses!

The only house that Seth would walk of his own free will to was our own, where Papa Earl answered the door to his favorite trick-or-treater. Here is Seth post-costume begging Grandma Dodo for some of her ice. He spent the rest of the evening helping mom answer the door in his T-shirt and diaper.

What can we say? Being a bookworm runs in our family!

Team Highlanders showing off their new team shirts. Did I mention that they are an original Weadock design?

We bought Seth a kid’s table this weekend and his current favorite pastime is climbing into the chair and applauding himself. I swear every toy he owns is more fun when he’s sitting at the table.

That’s it for now. Thanks for taking the time to look at the pictures. Please leave us comments!

Fall Time Fun!

The temperatures may be dropping (finally), but things are really picking up for Seth around our house. After a week long bout with a stomach bug, we decided we needed to celebrate a healthy kid with a trip to the pumpkin patch this weekend. Here are a few highlights from that visit, along with a couple other cute shots.

We put away the high chair tray so that Seth could join us at the table. Now we just need to teach him that putting his feet on the table is not good manners!

While he awaits a purchase of a family dog–are we really up for that one–Seth occupies a lot of his time at home “petting” Molly.

The pumpkins weren’t much of a hit at the pumpkin patch, but Seth got a kick out of the petting zoo. Here is Seth feeding a goat. What you don’t see in the picture is Seth feeding himself the goat feed instead of the goat.

No pumpkin patch trip is complete without a hay ride.

Not sure who’s doing the eating in this picture.

He used to be a total ham for the camera, but now it’s hard to get a shot with a smile. Here’s our “happy” picture amidst all the pretty pumpkins.

We were told this farm still had pumpkins on the vines, but these vines had long seen better days. Seth really wasn’t interested in the pumpkins scattered about, though. He just enjoyed walking around in the dirt.

What is it about boys and tractors?

The toy store in any room? Any drawer that is at Seth’s height.

A rare smile!

Our next post will probably include Halloween pictures, so stay tuned! Please leave comments!

Just some overdue videos

Sorry for the delay in getting these videos up. We’ll try to make it more frequent.

Just in time to save the economy – MEGA PIC UPDATE!

We apologize for the delay in posting new pictures. We take them, but it’s hard to find time to get them online. Enjoy!

Bath time is still one of Seth’s favorite times of day!

Finally back into some jeans again, and they’re so cute with his new shoes! Check out the booboo.

I don’t like Arizona State, Dad. I want to be an NMSU Aggie!

Mom and Dad thought the Plano Balloon Festival was a snoozer–umm, less than 15 balloons–but Seth had a good time running around.

Football Sunday Seth can be found wrestling around on a pile of pillows with Dad. Let’s go Cowboys!

Straight from Italy, spaghetti facials!

As always, we love to read your comments!

Summer Days Driftin’ Away

We realize it’s been a while since our last post, but school’s back in session, so mom is back to teaching and Seth is back to daycare. We both had a little adjusting to do, but almost two weeks into it, we’re getting back in the groove–Seth probably more so than mom.

Last weekend, we broke the weekend chore monotony and treated ourselves to Cheesecake Factory for dinner/dessert. Seth loves Cheesecake Factory because they bring out a baby plate as soon as we’re seated that has pieces of bread and bananas for him to chow on. Since he got to sample our desserts, this is probably now his all-time favorite!

We ended the evening with a turn on the carousel. This time Seth rode a horse that went up and down rather than a stationary one. He was a little uncertain. Man, do we really blow it out on the weekends or what?!

Seth and I went for a walk tonight, well I walked, Seth sat in the wagon with his feet up and a glass of juice. It was super hot, so I jumped at the opportunity to run the wagon through some neighborhood sprinklers. We both got soaked! Here is Seth stripped down at home. I don’t know if he’s ever looked more devilish!

Well, back to work. Please leave a comment!
