Thanksgiving Celebration

Jim, Sheryl, Trenton and Oliver joined us for a feast on Saturday.
Oliver crawls all around. He looked at the deer in the backyard and said, "Woof"; he looked at the fish on the mantle, pointed and said, "Fsh"; he played with a stuffed bear and said, "Grrrrr".

The weather was nice enough for us to be outside before dinner. Jason, Jim and friend Jon played basketball. Trenton, Grandma and Grampack looked for worms. We found some beauties!

We enjoyed pumpkin, cherry and apple pies at lunchtime and had our feast at dinnertime. That's the way to do it, right? Eat dessert first.

Trenton loves this Incredibles book.

After bathtime, story time.

Thanks for a wonderful day.

Babysitting again

Mandatory for grandmas - baby spit on your shoulder :-)

Oliver's counted cross-stitch birth announcement is finally finished!

Jason and I played with Oliver and Trenton while Sheryl was teaching. Oliver smiled and laughed a lot. He laughed hysterically when Trenton pulled on the cherry tree branch out back. Oliver sought out his Uncle Jay and stuck like glue to him, which was very enjoyable for Jay.

Oliver loves yogurt. He and Trenton are incredibly good eaters; they eat all kinds of healthy food.

Trenton builds the tower and Oliver knocks it down. Can you see that the blocks form a redwood tree? We bought the nesting blocks at the park in California.

Reading Jeff Foxworthy's children's poetry book to Trenton.

Oliver's First Birthday

Oliver's first birthday celebration was combined with Halloween. He was the cutest bumblebee you ever saw. Sheryl was the flower! Trenton was a fierce pirate and Jim was a spooky skeleton.

Oliver had this entire panda cake to himself. You can tell how thrilled he was by his big smile!
