Last Wednesday night our church had its annual Fall Festival. We had a great dinner with our church friends. Then we enjoyed a magic show. After that we went to the gym for some fun fall games and activities. John Turner actually stayed awake and stared wide eyed at all of the little ones running around like crazy in their Halloween costumes. We can't wait to take him next year!
Friday was an exciting day around our house-John Turner's first Halloween! He was the cutest little crocodile you have ever seen. Of course our families came over to spend his first Halloween with him. Our neighborhood is always very busy with trick-or-treaters on Halloween. My sister decided to bring my niece,Carly,to my house to trick-or-treat. After dinner we loaded up on Carlton's buggy(I guess it is good for something other than hunting) and took Carly around the neighborhood. She had a blast! John Turner also went for the ride but fell asleep after stopping at the first house. Next year will be different I'm sure!I posted a slideshow with a bunch of cute Halloween pics. Check it out!
On Saturday night our neighborhood had its annual fall block party. We have them at different times during the year. It was John Turner's first ever block party. It was so much fun to introduce him to all of our neighbors. Many of them have never met him and the ones who had met him hadn't seen him since he first came home from the hospital. There was tons of great food. We also had great entertainment. We feel so fortunate to live in a neighborhood like ours! Linmoor Estates is a very special place in which to live!
On Sunday we took John Turner to church for the first time. Actually.... we just took him to Sunday School and we took him in our class with us. We just don't want him in the church nursery until he has his shots. That is only a few weeks away(boo hoo). Until then we will just keep him in the Sunday School class with us. He was a perfect angel and didn't make a peep the whole time!
So as you can tell we have had quite a busy and exciting week! I can't believe how fast time has flown since John Turner was born. He was 7 weeks old yesterday. I am trying to savor every little smile, cry, coo, etc... because I know before long he will no longer be a baby anymore! BOO HOO!!
Here are some cute pics from this weekend! Enjoy!
A Big Smile For Halloween!

What a handsome fellow you guys have. I know ya'll are so proud! We will certainly have to get John Turner and Rainer together so they can root on the Tide in what we hope will be a National Championship run. Hope all is well and we hope to see you soon. Kelly and John Russell
Amy, he is adorable!! I am glad ya'll are doing good. Kristin told me about your blog and I had to check it out. His pictures are all so sweet - it makes me want a baby - but 2 is all that I can handle for now. He is such a cutie pie.
