Fall Family Photo Shoot

We enlisted a professional photographer to help capture the entire Reid Family for the first time.

 Burke - 2 1/2 years old

 Reid- Just turned 8 years old

 Tessa- Just turned 11 years old

 A good lookin' family if I may say so myself! 

BURKE'S SECOND FLIGHT..... Much better

Burke had a great time this flight. He was much more cooperative with the headset, aside from eating it.

He took in the sites of our downtown and loved the train tracks and the river view.

The "in-flight" snacks helped a bit too.

 Dan took us to downtown Wheeler airport to do a few "touch and go's" or landings where you take off again immediately. Burke liked those. It was smooth flying and a beautiful fall view of the red, orange and yellow tree tops on the way home. I would chalk this one up as a success!

October 2013

Dan ran his 3rd half marathon this October. He completed the Kansas City Waddell Reed half marathon in approx. 1 hour and 50 minutes! His personal record. Burke and I cheered him on at his half way point on the plaza and then at the big finish. Way to go Dad!

Burke had an opinion on his Halloween costume this year.

As you can see there are many faces to this Amazing Spiderman.

 Look at those muscles!

I joined Burke's school parade and party.

 As one might suspect, there were a few other Spidermen. None took their muscle poses as seriously as Burke. These boys are 4.

 The neighborhood all met at one house for a group photo. There were swarms of kids!

Here our immediate neighbor, Theo, was a fellow superhero. These boys are only 3 months apart in age so I am so happy they can grow up together.

 A neighbor called the city of Shawnee fire department to come out and say hello this Halloween. Burke's jaw dropped in excitement.

Dan set out to take Burke trick or treating while I handed out candy at home. This was Burke's first year to really get the trick or treating concept. Dan reported that Burke was the slowest kid because he took his candy selection very seriously... at each and every house. Big decision for a 2.5 year old.
