Happy Thanksgiving!

We have had an excellent couple of weeks! Blake is crawling (though, mostly Daddy is walking him around) and even cruising a little! Danae is looking forward to Christmas, and everything we want we have to "ask Santa for". Daddy got a promotion, but now has to drive back down to Lakeside mall (where we used to live). It's a long drive!

Thanksgiving at the GG's was splendid, as ever. Apparently, Foster and Danae are going to put out a Christmas album.

It's been cold out. Not winter cold, but cold enough to try to find activities inside. Now we make forts out of couch cushions (or "sports" as Nae calls them). Everything is fine, until the Blakeasaurus shows up and wrecks the sport, then we rebuild it!

Nae has been all about how things get made: "Do people build houses? How do you make chips? How do you make ice cream?..."
...How did you get that all over your face?

We are putting the Christmas tree together today! Wish us luck!

Happy Birthday Kaine, Happy Halloween and "Filling The Living Room With Water"

Happy Birthday Kaine!
And Happy Halloween (about 2 weeks late)! Daddy finally was able to get into the computer room. We had a wonderful couple of weeks! We carved pumpkins, Mommy and Daddy ate all the pumpkin seeds and Danae had no problem getting into trick or treatin' this year.






Foster was the cutest alligator ever!

Matt and Amy came to our Halloween party too! And they brought R2-D2!

Blake almost went as an evil kangaroo. You can tell how pleased he was with this outfit, so instead we had a....

... swarm of bees!

So every morning, Danae comes into Daddy's room and says "Daddy, it's morning! Can you get dressed and make me breakfast?". The other morning she comes in and says "Daddy, can you fill the living room with water?"

"What?"

"Can you fill the living room with water?"

"Why?"

"So I can float around! Can you?"

"Fill the living room with water?"

"Yes!"

"No! All the water would go everywhere! Did you have a dream or something?"

"Yes. Can you fill the living room with water?"

For 45 minutes this went on...

Apples, Pumpkins and Football!

We had a wonderful week (since everyone has gotten over their colds). We went apple-picking, picked out pumpkins, and went to Kaine's football game! And that was one day!

Blake is sleeping through the night (almost). Not only is he rolling over, but yesterday he pulled himself up into both a sitting position and a standing one too!

Danae has been skipping naps on a regular basis. Can you tell?

Sick, Blog Broken and Moving Into The Computer Room

Sorry this one took so long, we moved Blake into the computer room so we could let him cry it out. Daddy usually blogs at night.

Finally got into the computer room, and the blog won't let me upload pictures!

We didn't have a whole bunch of pictures anyway, everyone was sick for the last 2 weeks.

I will try to get up the pictures I do have later.

Happy Birthday Nama, Hayrides, And Rolling Over (One Way)

Happy Birthday Nama! We had a wonderful get-together, even though Daddy completely spaced on bringing the camera.

We painted Danae's room (now Blake's too) Cheerful Whisper a.k.a. light purple. It was fun...kind of, for a second. Then we went to play.

We went on a hayride! We saw animals and rode down a giant slide, and they let us drive a fire truck!

B-Money is rolling on to his belly. Of course he hates being on his belly, and cries until someone flips him over again. Like a reverse turle.

Danae rarely reads stories anymore at bedtime. Now she plays with her glow mat (it's like a sheet of glow-in-the-dark material and a black-light pen. It's awesome) but Blake loves books. Mostly the taste, but the colors are cools too.

No More Diapers For 'Nae, And Blake's A Big Sitter

We have had a good couple weeks. Danae no longer wears diapers (even at night!) and loves Dora games on the computer. Blake is sitting up (with help) and does not deal well with mosquito bites!

The B-Man is up to 18 lbs.! We are now on to sweet potatoes (mmmmm, sweet potatoes!). We had to go to the doctor because little man was waking up covered with bumps. Daddy thought maybe spiders (cleaned out the drawers under the crib) or allergic reaction to laundry soap. Nurse Sue said delayed reaction to mosquito bites!
