Probably Too Much Information

Here for your enjoyment, a review of the last few weeks of our lives, mostly in pictures.

Caleb dressed for church in a cute sweater from Grandma. Isn't he starting to look so old? He'll soon be three months.

He has a red Mickey Mouse outfit like this, and this is his blue Tigger outfit. I just think they are both super cute. I got them at Walmart so he would have a few long pants, long shirt outfits.

This is Cosette studying Caleb. Actually, the cutest thing ever was something I didn't get on camera. He was sitting in his carseat and she would sidle over from behind his carseat and look so excited to see him and then she would scoot back behind and then sidle in front again. I think she was playing peek-a-boo, but she did it without any prompting from the adults; we were all sitting at the table talking when we noticed her doing it.

Patrick and I play backgammon with almost every meal. We thought it was about time Caleb learned how to play, so Patrick's teaching him.

Patrick eating the baby?

This year we did dinner with Dan and Michelle. Michelle is preparing an excellent vegetable dish with all sorts of vegetables I'd never tried. For instance-- brussel sprouts, really quite good when well prepared. Who knew!

Cosette munching while she waits for Thanksgiving dinner to be ready.

Daniel putting the turkey in the oil so we can fry it.

Everyone worrying about whether it will boil over or be okay. With good reason. However, it all turned out delicious and safe.

Cosette taking a pre-Thanksgiving dinner nap. Gotta get ready for the festivities.

Our little family on my birthday.

And again-- lit by candles this time-- Twenty-three of them!
