More Thanksgiving Fun

Jim and Jimmy got to take a ride in Nana's golf cart. This past summer Nana had gotten to ride the cart down to the lake. She'd said that she hadn't been down there in over two years, so it was nice that she got to experience that! Juri and Nadia are in the driver's and front passenger's seat.

Belated Thanks

Here are a few pics from Thanksgiving Day up in Wisconsin, including the first photo we've got of me, Jim, Jimmy & Josie!








We also got a nice holiday-season shot of Dan, Anuta and Dominik!









Cousin Andy was happy to accept the invitation to be Josie's Godfather! Josie will be christened on January 7th--her namesake's birthday.

A Day at the Circus

Jimmy's first circus (and mine and Grampy's) last Sunday was great fun. But if you ask Jimmy what he liked the most, he'll say it was the planes, meaning the planes flying right over the All State Arena on their way to O'Hare! The planes were cool, but the circus was exciting too. Jimmy did seem to like all of it, especially the music.

Jumping Leaves

Jimmy had plenty of fun the other weekend raking leaves with Dad. They spent a good part of the afternoon outside, but this year Daddy got to use his new leaf blower--so this annual ritual was much easier on the arms.

Learning(?) to Grab Things . . .

Below is an old video of Josie (really, just a few weeks "old") where she's trying to grab a toy. The photo at left was taken yesterday; in it, Josie has actually learned to grasp a link, but then she kind of let go of it. It didn't seem to bother her that she left it on her head.

More Halloween Pics

Here's me and Jimmy, just getting started on trick-or-treating. Jimmy wanted to be a pumpkin again, and thankfully the costume I sewed for him last year still fit--even the hat! I've got my usual bat wings on.
