Pumpkin Patch.

Darren went to his first pumpkin patch with his friends Ryan and Julia today. On the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch, a woman asked if Ryan and Darren were twins - come on people.

4 Months!

In honor of his own 4-month birthday, Darren decided to wake us up at 4:00am. Very clever - now don't do it again wise guy.

Spooooky.

Play group decided to dress up this week. Who knew hot dogs would be the "it" costume this year.

The neglect-a-saucer.

Let the neglecting begin - just kidding.

First Day of School.

OK - it's actually his first day of daycare. He seems really sad to be there, right?

New York - Again.

This weekend Darren traveled back to New York to make his Nana feel better. She was very excited to see him - the feeling was mutual.

Gary plays a diddy for his captive audience.







Darren visits his first pumpkin patch - OK, it's 5 small pumpkins in Craig's condo but Darren doesn't know the difference.


Darren zonks out after a very busy day in the city.





Below is a crazy lady. Craig made me take the picture.

The bottle.

Darren can now hold up his own bottle - sort of.

Daycare Providers

This month Grandma Sheila and Grandpa Jeff went above and beyond and provided daycare services before Darren officially starts at Creme de la Creme next week. He loved his time with them and did everything from walking in Chastain Park with Grandpa's walking club to having an explosive poop in Bank of America. Grandma's most memorable moment happened when someone in the grocery store asked her how old HER child was.




Please Note: Grandma and Grandpa put that ridiculous green hat on Darren. He also learned how to do those crazy big eyes from The Runaway Bride who is actually the secretary at our Pediatrician's office. I am working up the nerve to ask her to take a picture with Darren. Do you think it would be too much if I ask her to wear a veil in the picture?

3 Months Old!

You may have noticed that we upgraded to a computer print out for Darren's month signs - thanks to my office and my new desk conveniently located next to the printer.

Hilton Head Island

Darren hit the road for Labor Day to visit Grandma and Grandpa and to help his mom celebrate one final hoorah before returning to work.

The pups also loved the beach - by the time they left, they had fans.

Love in the Air.

This picture is definitely going in their rehearsal dinner slide show.

Little Darren hits the Big Apple.

Darren went all the way to NYC to visit his family. After a 7 hour plane ride due to bad weather, Darren finally arrived. One lady commented that we had been on the plane so long that Darren had grown!


Darren met his first cab driver. Unfortunately, he was not as friendly as the one on Cash Cab.

Could anything be cuter?

Bye Jackie.

Jackie is fleeing Atlanta (again) so we went over to help pack her POD and say our goodbyes. During the visit, Darren went into the POD where he literally became a PEA in a POD (bad pun is courtesy of Gary).
