The McGinnis Family

Halloween week already. It's so hard to believe. CJ is absolutely excited by all the fun things going on. This weekend we went to a Halloween parade and CJ got to trick-or-treat downtown. He is a fireman and loves squirting everyone especially Mama with water. Later this week we will be going to the pumpkin patch, 2 Halloween parties, and more trick-or-treating. Tonight we are just excited to settle in and watch Charlie Brown. Last week we had a doctor's appointment and an ultrasound. The baby is growing beautifully. He's up to 5 lbs now. His head is down and he looks like he's getting ready. Mama is really ready to have the baby. CJ and Daddy are being wonderful and helping me with all of the things I can't do anymore. The first picture is of CJ who fell asleep during dinner. It was only about 6pm. He had a bad cold last week, but refused to admit it. That was Saturday night. It was funny to see him just fall over asleep like when he was a little ba

Here is a picture of CJ last Halloween. It's amazing how much he has grown. We were in Blue Springs and he went trick or treating with his cousins Dakota and Cheyenne. He had so much fun. This weekend we are going to buy a Halloween costume. So far CJ has mentioned being a dog and a house. I'm not sure what he'll decide on. LOL! Casey wants CJ to be a fireman so that Casey can dress up as a fire engine. CJ doesn't seem to want to do that though. Last weekend we didn't get to go to either of our planned destination. I ended up working on Saturday and Sunday Case really needed to study so our plans were delayed. It's cold and rainy this weekend so we may have to go to the pumpkin patch next week. I'm hoping that Sunday will warm up though. CJ is really excited to go. Many of you may wonder why I entitled this the war. Well, it's because CJ and Casey have drawn lines over this new little boys name. Casey really wants to name him Cooper and CJ is having noth

Okay...okay...I know I've been terrible about updating the blog. Thanks, Mike, for reminding me. LOL! Things in Delaware are good. We are starting to settle into the new routine now that CJ and Casey are both in school. Case is facing midterms next week, but I'm confident that he will do great. He sure studies 10x harder than I ever did. CJ still loves school. He seems to be making a few friends and he really loves his teachers. I think Case and I both feel confident that this preschool was a good choice for him. CJ has gone into full big brother mode and is really getting excited about the baby. He wasn't even jealous when we received the first present for the baby from Aunt Cherie. Two adorable outfits- one for Christmas and one Guess sweatsuit for everyday wear (with the cutest booties ever). He was actually excited and grew even more excited when I gave him the ribbon off the package to use for his finish line. He loves races right now. We play finish line
