Halloween
Halloween is here! At the Gustafson house we celebrated by making oreo spiders, making crafts, making Homemade sugar cookies, carving pumpkins with Grandma Vicki and Papa Mark, and going Trick-or-Treating. We are also anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby Schlaak due on Halloween. Enjoy the pictures!
October Fun
We had another fun weekend with family as the Gustafsons made the trip to come visit. We enjoyed our time together playing in the leaves and carving pumpkins. And now it appears that Fall has fully taken swing here; the trees are bare and the weather has turned cold and windy. Time to clean the yard and get out our warm clothes!
- Hayden has officially converted to a Hawkeye fan, thanks to his cousins. He thoroughly enjoys football and for Halloween he decided to dress up as a Hawkeye football player. He will really bring home the treats now!
- Eli is 3 months old! He loves attention and his thumb. We are losing the battle on that one. He is also sleeping like a champion. His last feeding is at 10:00 pm and he will wake up between 6:30 and 7:30 in the morning for his first feeding of the day.
Enjoy the pictures.

Family Fun
This past weekend we enjoyed some family time with the Schlaaks and the Kytes. We look forward to another fun family weekend when the Gustafsons come to visit this weekend.
- Hayden is beginning to cut down on his naps this week. When he sleeps during the day for 2 hours of more he is often up until 10:00 pm at night. And while he is quietly reading and staying in bed, his parents feel too late.
- Eli is starting to show interest in rolling. And while hasn't made to his tummy quite yet, he has made it to his side. He also loves attention, don't forget to bring him to the dinner table!
Enjoy the pictures!

Fall Fun
With fall all around us we are continuously amazed at God's beauty through the fall colors. Here's the latest update at the Gustafson house:
- Ted has made several big sales out at Best Buy and is loving it. His next mission has been trying to convince Camille to buy a TV and a camera from Best Buy, we'll see about that....
- Camille passed the National Board for Certification of Occupational Therapy. She is now certified and also licensed in the state of Iowa. She received her official documents and is officially approved to independently practice occupational therapy. God answers prayers!
- Hayden is constantly getting owies and has since gotten over his fear of band-aides. But the band-aides have to have Buzz and/or Woody on it in order for him not to cry about it. Hayden has also mastered potty training! (Not sure who is happier, Hayden or Mommy and Daddy.) He is embracing Fall this year by playing in the leaves.
- Eli is such a happy little boy and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. Eli is consistently sleeping 8 or more hours a night. He has also demonstrated to us, that once again, Baby Wise really works! He hardly ever cries and just lays right down for his naps. Eli has also shown more interest in his bouncy seat and reaches for the toys dangling above him.
- Enjoy the new pictures.

Everything is FALLing into place
So another week has gone by and things are starting to fall into place. We are settled into the new house and are getting used to our new routine for each day.
- Ted is keeping busy with work and staying with the boys when Camille is working.
- Camille began her own full case load this week and it is going well. She loves working part time and having time at home with the boys.
- Hayden loves his brother! He is very aware of his needs and tells mommy and daddy when he is crying. He loves to make Eli laugh by tickling him. Hayden also loves to play hide-and-seek. His new hiding spots are under his bed and in the bathroom closet.
- Eli just keeps on growing. He is doing well with all the changes he went through so early in life. He enjoys his swing and bouncy seat. He takes his bottle well when mommy is gone, which makes it easier for mommy to leave for work. When mommy is home they enjoy snuggling, talking, and playing together.
- As always: here are the pictures!
