New Arrival

Paul Albert Phillips was born in the evening of Thursday November 14. He came home on the afternoon of Saturday November 16.

Dad is slightly sleep deprived and back at work, Mom is very sore and enjoying time at home. Grandma Jamie and Pa Duane have been a great help changing diapers and making meals so I don't have to get up and hobble around trying to get too many things done.

Now our little sweetie is a week old, here are a few pictures from his first week of life:

Daddy gets to hold baby Paul for the first time.

We didn't want him to get cold, so we tried to put him in pajamas. They were too big.

Getting ready to go home! This outfit was also too big.

Two peas in a pod! Grandpa and Paul take a Sunday nap.

Our happy little family.

What is he so scared of? Probably the camera flash.

Thank you Sarah Allred for the beautiful blanket, Paul loves it. And thanks for the rattle cousin Katie

Trunk-or-Treat

I certainly hope everyone had a great Halloween, we did! On Halloween we had goodies and friends and on Saturday a ward party and trunk-or-treat. Tragically, we still have too much candy leftover. I think Lee used Mad Radagan too effectively to scare the kids. (Mad Rad is the giant creepy rat who lives in our shed most of the time.) We went with pretty simple costumes this year, but hopefully you can figure them out. Now it's time to look forward to all the fun and changes November will bring!

Yes, it is a very impressively decorated trunk.

Mad Rad is creeping up behind me. Shudder.
