Outdoor/Indoor Play

The air is crisp and the leaves are crunchy. The kids

love being buried in leaves and jumping off piles!

Gryffy's inherited Lorelei's bouncer. He loves bouncing

to Daddy's piano music!

And Gryffy loves his Exersaucer--see his happy smile!

 

Mr. Gobbles

We enjoyed a Thanksgiving at home and with Grammy, Bpop, & Meaghan. And, in keeping with tradition, we erected our giant inflatable turkey, Mr. Gobbles, in the front yard.

Mr. Gobbles helps us track the kids' growth each year...

...on the rare occasions the kids actually sit nearby him without being frightened away! Brave boy, Gryffy.

Lorelei's not so sure about Mr. Gobbles. She gave him a reticent hug, then bolted away. It's a love-hate relationship.

Election Day

The kids joined Mommy at the voting booth on Election Day.

We like to keep our voting preferences private, however,

and will not divulge our pick for President...

At the voting booth (Gryffy's in the stroller).

Lorelei knew all the big names--

Sarah Palin, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and That One.
