Halloween Outfit and Photos

     Well, yesterday was an exciting, albeit long, day.  James, Grandma and I traveled to Athens to have James's picture taken by the photographer who did Patrick's and my wedding pictures.  James was mostly cooperative, but, due to his age (a whopping four weeks!), he no longer likes to pose all bent up, which is what the photographer was going for.  I'm sure the pictures will be great though.  She spent a good solid three hours working on getting him posed and getting good shots.  She clearly has tremendous patience, as she apparently does newborn photos on a regular basis.  There should be some previews available early next week.  I'm very much looking forward to that.  That did make for a very long day for us all, but the pictures will be worth it, and James was great in the car (he slept the whole way there and back).  I slept some of the way back myself as I had only had about an hour and a half sleep the night before.  

      Of course, the other big excitement of yesterday was Halloween.  James did not trick-or-treat, though Grandpa suggested that he do so and bring back some candy for people with teeth to enjoy.  We declined to do that, but we did celebrate.  James wore his fancy outfit sent to him by his cousin, Hannalee, and he had a cute, vibrating ghost to play with sent to him by his aunties.  He also went to meet all of the trick-or-treaters.  One little girl, when Grandma commented, "I like your costume," replied with, "I like your baby."  And how could you not when he's so cute?
