Still October 11th, Ian plays with Daddy’s iPad on the front porch in his rocking chair. I must have been feeling brave.

NOTE – These three images have been added to this entry.

October 12th, Mommy took these cute little kids to the park! See this image larger.

What a sunshine-filled smile! See this image larger.

Weee! See this image larger.

Later, Ian makes his own “gardens” out of blocks. I was told to sit in the larger area. See this image larger.

October 13th, far from Halloween, but it was time to put the first two parts of his Buzz Lightyear costume to the test. Part I, a free base costume from his cousin Connor — thanks Connor! Part II the inflatable wings from Amazon.com for about 10 bucks! You’ll see the rest when we get closer to Halloween! See this image larger.

I went an opening for an art show of one of my former professors, and met up with an old friend of mine named Wally. He’s probably the most brilliant designer I’ve met, and he’s just a wonderful man. I didn’t have racy New York City stories to swap with him as he did with me… but I did get to briefly show him a few pictures of my pride and joy, my family. Wally’s commentary on Ian’s costume cracked me up — I said “Ian’s halloween costume, he’s Buzz Lightyear.” Wally said “And he’s so totally owning it.” See this image larger.

I’ve got to say I agree: He did own it. Ian doesn’t just try a costume on, he transforms. His imagination is that plentiful. See this image larger.

As Ian said a million times that night, running around the dining room: “To infinibee and beyoooond!” See this image larger.

October 15th, Ian sleeps in a bundle, while his little flashlight alien friend sleeps in a foam finger from a local sports team. This picture was actually a little more cute in its original light, but you couldn’t see much. Imagine a small boy lit in the green light of his nearby alien-friend. See this image larger.

October 16th, the view off of our deck, as the trees give way to fall. See this image larger.

The evening of October 16th will be in part IX of October, a true Nina-fest!!! See you next time!
