Autumn Visitors

Hunter and Alex came by on Saturday (@ 9:30 in the morning). Hunter was having a friend over from school, and he wanted his friend to know I was his cousin. So, he brought him by to hang out with Kyle, Ryan, and me. We carved pumpkins and had a good time. Nothing like spontaneous creativity!! :)

9 month pics

Kyle was really good when we got his pictures taken. He loved to ride on the truck. I wish I had a camcorder there. He was hilarious!! I don't know if I can wait for Santa to bring him a toy like that. We might have to get one early!
The pictures turned out great. Kyle looks so cute in his jersey. I love the "action shots" in the collage!

Rob & Rene's Wedding

Rob and Rene got married last weekend. Kyle loves his uncle Rob. It was a beautiful wedding, and a perfect day. Ryan looked pretty good in his Wranglers, too.

9 months

Kyle went to his 9 month check up a week ago. He tore the paper sheet that was on the table to shreds. He weighed 18 lbs. He was 27 3/4" tall, and his head was 17 3/4" inches. His weight and height are in the 50th percentile, and his charlie brown head is in the 75th. :) The doctor couldn't believe he is already cruising around. Kyle is into everything, and he's always happy. He is truly a blessing.

Fair Time

Way back in July and August we went to the Clark County fair, Johnson County Fair, and the Indiana State Fair.

Kyle saw his cousin Austin's heifer.

He experienced his first demolition derby with his cousin Sarah (she was the Johnson County fair queen!!).

Garland and Ben took Kyle to check out the John Deere tractors.

We're back

I know I've really slacked off on the blogging, and I apologize. I hope to do better in the future. Here's an update to what's been going on in the Cooks' life. I'm teaching fifth grade at New Washington now. It's wonderful, and I am very glad to be teaching in my hometown. I've been really busy, though. Starting up a classroom after the school year is not something I would wish on anyone. It was extremely draining, and I am just now getting settled. Kyle has met many milestones since my last post. I plan to catch you up in the following posts.
