2008 Pictures
This year Brighton dressed up as Lightning McQueen for Halloween. He was so incredibly adorable in that little car! He knocked on all the doors, and said "Open a door, please!", and then when they answered he said "Trick or Treat" and walked right in ;) He was very polite, wanted to get his own candy out of their bowls, and had an absolute blast running down the sidewalk to the next house. We had so much fun, and can't wait for next year!

This was the first year that we carved a pumpkin as a family :) It didn't quite turn out as I expected, as all Brighton wanted to do was use the big spoons that I brought out for hollowing out the pumpkin to dig big holes in the backyard, Rudy doesn't like pumpkins at all, and Brighton said the pumpkin was "icky" and didn't want to help, but we had a great time painting it and I laughed a lot at the situation that I'd gotten myself into ;)

Since Brighton was doing so well with going to bed when he was told, we decided to get him his very first big boy, toddle bed. He loves Lightning McQueen, so we looked around and found this perfect Lightning McQueen bed and decked it all out with matching bedding and bedroom accessories. He loves it and transitioned into with out a hitch.

As most of you know, Rudy's job doesn't end at 5pm and he spends a lot of time at home reading and writing for his research. Well, Brighton has started grabbing his coloring book and crayons and going to sit with or lay next to Dad and saying that he is "working". They look so incredibly cute together, both of them laying on their stomachs engrossed in the papers in front of them. Brighton loves his Daddy and basically wants to be just like him ;)

There is a really great park in our town with a really big playset. Brighton loves going down all of the slides and trying to give his parents heart attacks by insisting that he climb up to the highest points. These pictures are from two different days. One where it was just the three of us, and another after Easter Egg hunting with his friend/neighbor Thomas.
