This is the second post, today. The first is below. I started it in September, and just posted it, a few moments, ago.
OK, so that last post was truncated and late. Today’s my 40th birthday. Also, we had a “snow day” at the school. I actually have some time, tonight. So, here’s some quick catch up for the last 3 months. As always, click on any picture to see a larger version.
Mid-October
In the middle of October, I was home, alone, with Seth. He was cranky and not a whole lot was making him happy. He does love the camera, however. This is a sample of the result:
Not the best picture. But, fun.
Halloween
Seth’s really too young, for Halloween. We did, however, have to get him a really cute outfit. We were going to go to a friend’s party, but it was outside. We thought it would be too cold for him. So, he wore the outfit, the next day, when we went to visit Barb’s family. Barb’s Mom was recovering from some major surgeries she’d had. She was staying with Barb’s sister and getting ready to go home. So, we went for a quick visit. Here’s a few pics:
Now, if I call him, “My little Pumpkin”, I can mean it. In the second picture you can see the end of the sentence, “Trick Or Treat” written on his butt… Heh…
Random
I can’t remember when I took this. But, I can’t wait to show it to his girlfriend, one day:
Thanksgiving
For Thanksgiving, we headed back to SE Kansas. I forgot my camera (bad, daddy). We had to rely on Cousin Molly for pics. These three sum up the day. Pic 1 = Getting Ready to Eat. Pic 2 = Mmmm…. Turkey and Noodles. Pic 3 = Post Turkey nap, for Daddy. I’m raring to go.
Branson
For our 5th Anniversary, I gave Barb a trip to Branson. She loves the Ozarks. Especially in the Fall. We dropped Seth at his Aunt’s house on Friday and headed down. We stayed in a great condo, right on a lake. We also went to Silver Dollar City. She wanted to check out the Holiday decorations they put there, every year.
This is the view from the condo balcony.
And here’s some of Silver Dollar City
Hannukah (Hanukkah/Chanukah/etc.)
And, finally, our Hanukkah celebration. We waited until Saturday for the dinner and gift for Seth, but we’ve been lighting candles throughout the whole holiday. This was the first time I attempted a Hanukkah meal. So, I kept it simple: Slow-cooked brisket with onion gravy, latkes, and steamed broccoli. I wanted to make sure Seth could eat what I cooked. It was delicious!
After dinner, we gave him his gift. It’s a Leap Frog Brightling’s Exploration Station. He loves it! He also got a Leap Frog Learn n’ Groove drum and maracas from his Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jonathan. He sure is having fun with his new stuff!
Here’s some pictures of the Saturday festivities.
