Thanksgiving Day!

We traveled to Des Moines for Thanksgiving. We alternate years with Ginthers and Wichards. It was a LONG drive. Walt decided that he wanted to be awake for over 5 hours of our 6 hour drive. He was not bad in the car, just a little bored. :)

We had a wonderful and busy Thanksgiving with Walt's 2 year old cousin Victoria! It was very nice here yesterday so Walt played in the leaves after dinner. He loved it. Maybe it is a hint that I should rake the few leaves that are at our house.

We head home on Saturday afternoon. I have big hopes for being a better blogger in December.

Happy 2nd Birthday Victoria!

On Thanksgiving Evening we celebrated Victoria's 2nd Birthday. She loved our gift of a pink tutu! She wore it the rest of the night. She talks a lot and is very sweet.

Football Sunday

We had friends Nik, Kelly, Gavin, Amanda, and Baby Claire over for Football on Sunday. It was a lot of fun with all of the kids. Ages 2, 14 months, and 9 months!

Busy Busy (walt and the blog manager!)

November has not been a good month of bloging and I apoligize. Walt has been doing super cute things and we have captured them on camera, we just have been so behind in sharing them.

Walt now has 5 words in his vocabulary. We have a paper on our bulletin board where we keep all of them (thanks to nik and kelly for that great idea). They are....

mama

dada

nana (for banana and Nanny)

uh-oh

elmo (who knows?!?!?)

We will try to to get some talking on video for you.

Here are some pictures of walt this weekend down in Cape Girardeau. We went for the weekend to hang out with the Wichards and Hedge Families.

Happy Halloween (2 days ago)

We hope that everyone had a fun Halloween. Walt seemed to really enjoy himself, as a dragon. I took Walt to school on Friday, the kids loved seeing him and Walt loved showing off his new walking skills. On Friday night instead of going Trick or Treating we went to Tom and Lisa's house- their street was having a block party.

This weekend was warm, so we spent a lot of time outside. We know that it will probably be short lived.
