thanksgiving 2012

I often do this: think to myself, "this time I'm going to post these photos right away and be done with it!" This is what happens: I wait a week to upload the 1000 pictures from the camera, I'm not happy with most of them, I want to color correct some of them, I want to write a well-written, heartfelt post that explains in detail everything we did, ate, said....and why there is a creepy monkey in the pictures.....

And here it is OVER ONE MONTH after Thanksgiving, and I'm posting our family pictures..I tell you. I don't know.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! hahaahaha!

and finally.....thanksgiving 2012.

 

We had an wonderful time at Uncle Michaels..with fantastic food prepared by Gwyn and Lorna (best acorn squash ever) (best apple pie ever), good company, good walks in the woods, good giggles over kids falling from running on the hardwood floors - - and a certain someone opening the bathroom door on a certain someone else....Thank you Michael and Gwyn for another wonderful holiday at your house. We love you.

feeding the birds at uncle michael's

Love these pictures of Jackson and Cade helping Uncle Michael fill the birdfeeders. Yay teamwork.

i dreamed

Last weekend we had a great time at Uncle Michael's and Auntie Gwyneth's. Jackson blew on this dandelion while we were there, then said, "I dreamed (he meant wished) that Uncle Michael lived CLOSE to us!" I agree.

More pictures soon.

nice visit

Thanks for visiting us, Uncle Michael and Auntie Gwyneth! & for the nice Fall morning in the Park.

owego flooded

My brother Michael and Gwyn live in the sweet little town Owego.  The top picture is from our visit last July. The bottom picture is from September, after the Susquehanna River flooded.  


One of my favorite blogs (and the one I won the awesome bunny mask from) Aesthetic Outburst, has set up a donation site to help those who've lost everything. (Luckily Michael and Gwyn live high on a hill and were not flooded). 


Please consider donating $10, $20...every little bit helps. 


You can click on the donation site here, or visit Aesthetic Outburst for more info.

a walk in the woods

Last weekend we road-tripped to Uncle Michael and Auntie Gwyneth's house. One of the highlights of the weekend was a walk in their woods on Sunday morning (after an awesome breakfast of grilled sausage, onions, peppers and scrambled eggs in a grilled tortilla - yummmmm). We ate some berries, whacked at trees with sticks, walked in the dry creek bed, found some spiders and other things....

It was so nice to get out of the hot city and get back to nature. More pictures of the ladybug Jackson and Cade found soon too.
