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...
