Santa who?

We took our first trip to see Santa today. Axel was unimpressed. I think it had a lot to do with the fact we did not have to stand in line with 50 other screaming kids. The Harvest House has Sanata every weekend and no lines! Shameless plug for the Beck's, but it truley is the best place to go for a Santa photo.

Go Zags!

Axel loves nothing more than his exersaucer... and Matt and Mary love nothing more than watching Gonzaga play. So, those put together and Axel gets to play in his seat with a Zags hat on while the game is on. Go Zags!

The Christmas Card

Here we are, the last few days of November and no Christmas Card ordered. What to do... well, we packed up Axel and went to Grandma's for a photo session! With my surgery wounds still healing, Grandma and Aunt Mary were on hand to help with the photos and we have a winner! Here are a few that did not make the cut (and a few of the dog too...)

I am sure you cannot wait to see what made the cut! They will be in the mail soon.

Food!

We had our first experience with food not from a bottle tonight! WOW, did that go over well. I tried to stop and snap a few photos, but the demand was high for the food. It went everywhere, but he sure did love it.

Hanging around

I just thought these were funny! Gotta love it when they strike a pose!

Halloween

With time going so fast these days, Halloween was upon us and I had not even started on costumes. Good thing I had on in reserve. HA! We took it easy this year and dressed up like Jack, Jill and a Pail of Water. With three parties to hit, the pail only made it to 2 parties. He was much happier once it was off and his jammies were on.

Fishin'

Last week Matt went on his yearly fishing trip to Lewiston with Dad. After the first night they had one fish that was "not really caught... more snagged", with the fish being caught by Glenn's hook snagging the line already in the fish from the last poor guy who lost him! Well, at least they had a fish! The seciond night proved to be even better with Matt catching a 17lber. YAY!
