Thanksgiving in Texas

Posted on November 28, 2008 by Jonathan

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Texas with Lindsey’s parents. At the table we each said something we were thankful for. Aside from all the regular things like health and family, we all gave thanks for Obama’s victory. Whoo hoo!

Avery’s favorite dish: cranberry relish

Lindsey’s first pie. Turns out she can bake too.

Pacific Science Center

Posted on November 4, 2008 by Jonathan

We visited the Pacific Science Center with my parents the other weekend. It was a pretty fun place to take a toddler, though some of the exhibits will be more fun when Avery is a little older. The butterfly house was our favorite. It’s a big solarium filled with tropical plants and lots of butterflies.

Trick or Treatin’

Posted on October 31, 2008 by Jonathan

Avery’s first trip out into the neighborhood going door-to-door begging for candy was a success. He visited thirteen houses, and then the tired little dragon sat on the sidewalk and had to be carried home. Lindsey and I had a great time taking our tot around. It’s pretty cool being parents on Halloween and seeing the holiday through the eyes of your child.

The best pumpkin ever! Go Barack!


Avery says “nite nite!”

Truck or Treat

Posted on October 31, 2008 by Jonathan

This afternoon Lindsey had the great idea of leaving work a few minutes early and taking Avery to see the big rigs show. At first I was a little leery of the idea — I don’t want my kid turning into a monster truck fanatic — but Avery really enjoyed seeing the local: dump truck, fire truck, cement truck, garbage truck, school bus, milk truck, cop car, street sweeper, backhoe, tow truck, and generally any kind of truck you can think of. He even got to hop in all the drivers seats and honk the horns.
Beep beep!




School bus.

The Lindsey’s and their boys.

Distracted much?
