Halloween Party '08

Lucky Zeus, he got to be a pumpkin for Halloween this year.....
The image below is my 1st ever attempt at a pumpkin in a pumpkin. The outer pumpkin is an image looking through some trees and the inner pumpkin is a grim reaper set against the moon. From start to finish, it took me 1 3/4's hours to carve both pumpkins.

Below is a closeup of the inner pumpkin by itself.

And the large, outer pumpkin by itself.

The '08 Pumpkin Carving party was definitely not the same without Jason, Sarah & Jared, however we did get some good carvings out of the group (Jaci's was the spider, 2nd from the left, Tim's was the Jason mask, done in honor of a missing comrade....).

Jaci's Belly Buldge after 16 Weeks - Oct. 28th

After visiting the doctor for the 16 week checkup, we took a couple of pictures of Jaci's belly to see if there was any sign of a baby buldge (at this point, Jaci is really wanting people to see her and ask her if she is pregnant). This situation is really tough on the male in the relationship, we spend are lives telling our wives that they don't look fat in any way, however now I am supposed to tell Jaci when I notice small changes in her belly size (seems like a trick)....... I'm sure that wanting to look pregnant will not last for long....

Halloween Preparations

Since our new house was a large front porch, Jaci and her mom did a lot of decorating in preparation for Halloween. Unfortunately, Jaci's "Monster Man" was a bit too scary and some trick or treators were too afraid to come to the door. The picture below shows my father in-law chilling out with the "Monster Man".
