We carved our pumpkins today. Magnus wanted to help by playing with the pumpkin goo. He really liked the stuff and kept trying to eat it. So, his new food we gave him this week was pumpkin-apple baby food. He really loves the stuff.

Today we went to Kelly Point Park, where the Willamette River meets the Columbia River. We were hoping to take a nice stroll through the pretty trees, but not many had changed yet. We did get to watch lots of big ships floating about and a nice sunset on the rivers. We also found some giant mushrooms that were the size of my hand, so that was cool.

Tonight was the ward Harvest party. Like some other people we know, we had a chili cook-off and costume parade finished off by “trunk”-or-treating (inside due to the rain). Magnus was a good sport throughout the evening and seemed to have fun walking around with Dad collecting candy.

Magnus is growing so much! Next thing I know I’ll have to ask him to get things off the high shelves for me.

Here is our giant, Magnus. We have a picture of Dana holding him like this in the hospital. And we thought he was big then!

Leaves, they are a’changin’. We went for a walk down Officer’s Row and looked at the changing fall colors. It was pretty.

Everyone is in on the candy. Don’t worry, I did not let him actually eat the candy. He does like rattle-y wrappers, though, and he seemed especially attached to this one. We found out later that the wrapper has a slight mint flavor to it, which is probably why he liked it so much.
