it's been a while . . .

there are a couple factors involved with the gap in posting pictures. the first and most important, is we find ourselves coming home in the evening and doing nothing but playing with easton. we've taken plenty of photos, it just gets to 11 p.m. pretty quick and another night has gone by without posting any pictures. then days turn into weeks and all of a sudden your buried in a mountain of pictures. but i found a way to make the mountain of photos that need to be published a little smaller: accidentally delete about 2 weeks worth. it makes the getting caught up easier, but it wasn't worth sacrificing all the lost pictures. including easton's first halloween. oops.

important safety tip: be sure to make a copy of you pictures before deleting them out of iphoto.
with my big brother.


this is mookie. my dad flew to oregon to see his sister a few weeks ago and they went to tilimook, where they make the cheese. daddy brought me back this stuffed cow. he's my new favorite toy, as you will see by all the pictures of he and i.

a big shout out goes to my daddy's friend christine who made me this cool hat. all the other neighborhood kids are totally jealous.





over the weekend of november 8, mommie, daddie, grammie, brady and i all went to branson for a quick weekend away. . . and to take mom to the christmas store.




me and my first encounter with the claus!

hanging with my daddy and brother. they brought me back this football from their road trip to ohio state and chicago the week before i was born.





and i am going to be a quarterback. . . someday.

my big brother showed me all of his old thomas the train engine toys. if you notice, i am dressed for it. i have my thomas sleeper on!




get in my belly!


you're going to put that thermometer where?

my cool hat again!



my less cool hat. at least that's what my daddy says. but my brother says it's cool so i let him put it on me. apparently they have a bet this weekend on the ohio state vs. michigan game. the winner gets to name my pacifier, a.k.a. that sucky thing. so i am either going to have a michy or a bucky by saturday afternoon.
