Christmas Tree Time at Home

A Mystery to Be Solved

Our house, still on the market, had visitors yesterday. While you where at Supertots, Devon, we found out we had a showing. So after Daddy picked you up, we went for a family drive, did some shopping at Sunflower, then played super sleuth detectives hiding out in our car spying on our own house! After what seemed like hours, we were home and played till nap. These photos are from that time.

Thanksgiving in Montclair

Pre-dinner we finally put the guitar hero down and went to Mommy's first high school football game on a warm & sunny Thanksgiving morning to watch Ethan perform in the Montclair Mounties marching Band. Devon sat on Uncle Steve's lap eating a hummus sandwich cheering on the Mounties.

Devon & Vinnie Tube Socks

Seen here posing on the Hunt Compound driveway with her canine cousin Vinnie, about to say goodbye to T-Pop, NutNut, Uncle Steve, Aunt Jenny & all the other dogs, Devon is on the road again, this time to New Hampshire for an early Thanksgiving with Papa & Uncle Jonathan.

Welcome Home, Mama.

Ah,kid, man do you love having birthday parties (doesn't matter if there aren't any real birthdays). And you're so crazy for all things pooh: aa milne, the disney factory, and now the Russian hundred-acre woods cartoons. Here you pose with birthday flowers from one of Aunt Jenny's co-workers & a bootleg Goodwill Russian Vini Puh toy bear in Uncle Steve & Aunt Jenny's kitchen, Welcome Home Party for Mommy coming home from San Francisco.

Happy Halloween

Mobile Fort

Sometimes the best part of fatherhood is the forts. Devon, you are a veteran fort builder at age 2. We were away for the holiday when we discovered the fort building contest on Spike Jones & Co.'s Weloveyouso.com site, so we built the Honda Mobile Fort with the help of Uncle Jonathan. And the pictures above were posted in a slideshow on their site!
