Happy Halloween!

Here are a few pics from our fall festival at church. Eli dressed as a dog and I dressed as John McCain. Byron was supposed to dress as Barak Obama...but they were all out of Obama masks at the mall.

Eli's Funny Faces

Jess posted these on Facebook...so I had to post them here as well. Let me know what you think he's thinking...

Jeremy's Power Rankings

Here are my power rankings for this week. Its been a rough season for this Colts fan :-(.

1. Tennessee Titans (7-0) They haven't played any team above .500, but they haven't lost a game and that means something. They also have a good system and a good coach. They will be the team to beat this second half of the season.

2. NY Giants (6-1) Statement win this week against a very good Steelers team. Their schedule is brutal...hopefully our reigning super bowl champs will stay healthy.

3. Pittsburg Steelers (5-2) Tough loss this week. They've been winning even with players injured. They also have a tough schedule ahead and we'll see if that offensive line can keep Big Ben standing upright.

4. Washington Redskins (6-2) Jason Campbell still hasn't thrown an interception. He is the poster boy for game management.

5. NE Pats (5-2) With Carolina right behind them in my standings...I just don't understand why they keep winning. I thought for sure the Morris injury would knock them out. Evidently, Brady is not the key to the Patriots' success.

The Office!

No, not the TV show. Here are a few pics of the office which is finally done!

Ft. Wayne/Bluffton Trip

Recently Jessica made our way to Ft. Wayne and Bluffton so Eli could meet Shari, Grandma, and Grandpa, and Uncle Larry and Aunt Penny. Here are a few pics from the trip. Thanks again Honeycutts for giving us a break in the trip. It was great to see them as well!


Here's Shari holding Eli. We ate at Texas Roadhouse Monday night and then hit a nice diner for breakfast in the morning before we made our way to Bluffton.


Here's grandma holding Eli. She made us lunch and ordered some chicken. So delicious!


Here's Aunt Penny holding Eli. We're so glad she was able to take her lunch break to see us.

It was a great trip and Eli did really good. Saturday we head to Beckley to see Jess' mom, sister, and brother.

Jeremy's Power Rankings

I missed last week's rankings because I was visiting family. I hope to get some pics on here real soon of that visit. Here are my rankings for the week...at least for the two people who care :-)

1. Tennessee Titans - They seem to be doing everything right. They can run the ball well and defend anyone. This next week will be a good test against a Colts team who must win this week.

2. New York Giants - They have had some really close games, but they continue to win...which is what matters the most.

3. Pittsburg Steelers - They are basically the same team as the Titans, but with a better QB. Great defense, great running game, and a QB who doesn't make a whole lot of mistakes. They just have one loss against a very good Phily team.

4. Buffalo Bills - I'm still not sure why they keep winning. They are like the Tampa Bay Rays of the NFL. It just doesn't make sense.

5. Washington Redskins - Once again, defence + running game + QB manager = wins. They have a QB who has yet to throw an interception, a great running back (if he stays healthy), and a defense that contains. Their two losses have come because of defensive meltdowns.

Check Me Out

I thought you might want to see what Eli wore to church this Sunday. So freakin cute.

More pictures

Here are some Eli pictures for you. This was Eli's first tub bath.
This is him looking like a GloWorm after his bath.
This is him spending time on his activity mat. Things have been o.k. lately. We found out today that he has a milk allergy, acid reflux, and colic all rolled into one. The dr. changed his formula and put him on Zantac. We also have to start putting rice cereal in his bottles and keep him upright 30 min. after he eats. Hopefully this will help his temperment and help him to sleep a little better. We'll keep you posted.

Sewer Line

We had a new sewer line put in last week. I know its gross...but its a house update :-) Here are a few pics!

Jeremy's Power Rankings

Monday's game really doesn't change my top five. So, here are my rankings for the week.

1. NY Giants - Its hard to believe that pro's make so much money. The Giants beat down the Seahawks like they were a high school team!

2. Tennessee Titans - I didn't think they would win this one...but they did and remain undefeated.

3. Washington Redskins - This was a statement win by the skins. They went into Philly and handled the Eagles.

4. Dallas Cowboys - They beat a "desperate for a win" Bengals squad. They are still very undisciplined and I wonder how they will fair the rest of the season.

5. Pittsburg Steelers - There are several teams that could fill the number five slot. But, Big Ben and the Steelers went into Jacksonville and got it done this week. So, here they stand at number five.

Eli's Big Debut

Eli made his first appearance at church today. We had really cute khaki pants to wear, but in true Eli fashion, he pooped all in them 15 min. before it was time to leave. I was scrambling for something else and found these shorts that are too big. Luckily is was in the mid 80s today and it worked out. I think he has something against special outfits designated for certain occasions. He peed all over his going home outfit from the hospital. Oh well, that's what babies do right? So this is what he looked like on our way finally out the door.

House pictures!!

We are very close to construction being done! It's still a work in progress and stuff is not exactly where it should be, but for the most part we are almost done. Here are some pictures, just remember, it's a lot like moving, stuff isn't done like I like it yet. When everything is complete, we will put before and after pictures up. So here you go... This is looking into the living room from the kitchen/dining area. There used to be a wall here!!
This is what you see when you walk in the front door.
This is the old guest bedroom. It looks a lot bigger with the bathroom gone!

Eli's Room, Kitchen, and Dining Area

This is where Eli sleeps.
We still need to hang stuff on his walls.
This is our new kitchen! I love the cabinets!
This is the dining area.

Our bedroom and bathroom

This is the view when you walk into our bedroom. This used to be the car port. Hard to believe I was parking my car here three months ago!
These are our closets!
This is our bathroom which is in our bedroom.
This used to be the sunroom.
