Thanks again to Deron and Laurie and LuLu, Uncle Brian and Aunt Theresa.

Pony Up!

From our time in Southern California, I love the horses (okay, I was a little tired).

December

Well we got through December. Okay, maybe just barely. Anyway, here's some assorted pictures from the month. Somewhere in there was my second birthday (December 20th in case you were wondering), not to mention Christmas. So let me just say this much. Best to everyone, good wishes for the New Year.

Big Day

First we went to Evie's birthday party where she turned 2 years old. Then we went to Betsy and Serena's baby shower (that's Betsy in the middle). I ate chocolate cake. I missed my naptime. You know by the time we left there I was a crazy kid, taking off my shoe and biting on it. When I got home I slept for three hours and woke up at eight at night, we had some good times then!

Monster Mash

Halloween

Okay, I was a pumpkin. Or I was supposed to be a pumpkin. Only problem was I didn't want to wear the pumpkin suit. So I just wore this orange sweatshirt instead. We went to a Halloween party at Tanya's, my mom dressed as a nurse and my dad sang in a scary Halloween band (short video forthcoming). At first I was scared. Then I danced. Anyway, Halloween is funny and weird and I was pretty tired by the time it was all over.

Punked!

What the heck? People cutting up these orange melons and putting fire inside. I just don't know, even though it is kind of fun to see them all lit up like that. There's my pumpkin all right!

Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Patch

Okay. Here's what happened. I got to ride on a pony. Bounce around in a rubber house. Man, this was fun all right, I even got to pick out my own pumpkin. Evie and Shepherd came along, so did Eli. Then, just when I thought it couldn't get any better I got to ride a train. An excellent day all right, at the end of it all we were tuckered, that's what my dad said. Then he put us all in a wagon and it was time to go.

The Ecstatic

Okay, what is it you guys say? The be-all and end-all. Well, that's what this was. A backhoe AND front-loader parked around the corner from our house. Can you believe it? I couldn't, which is why I asked my mama and dada to take me out each and every day they were there (five days, not counting the late morning they finally left - EDITOR). What fun. What delight. Especially when my dad lifted me up behind the steering wheel of both vehicles. Heaven is what I'm saying. Nothing better. I still talk about it all these weeks later. Even sometimes in my sleep. Now I like to look at the pictures, all these pictures, which is what I'm doing right now.

David Comes to Dinner

Man, I love when we have company. Because these people do things with me. Like draw in my notepad with my crayons, making excellent drawings of animals and cars. Thank you, David!
