My mom is soo behind. She still has to upload Christmas pictures and she will someday. but just to keep you off her back a little, here are some more recent photos

But before further ado, we want to send a big congratulations to Tio Cito and Tia Katie on their engagement.

Here I am composing a song for them
And taking the blue chair pictures that Tio Cito loved so much

Yesterday at the grocery store with my own grocery cart
I love coloring
Auntie Lesley and Uncl Mike came to visit all teh way from Indiana. it is cold in Indiana so Auntie Lesley and Uncle Mike spent a lot of time outside while visiting

And of course we had another visit by Auntie Pam. I hope she continues to visit as frequently when we move to NJ

Thanksgiving 2008

Hi everyone,

i am trying to catch up. I have this post and the end of the year holidays, so please be patient and get off my mom's back! it is getting a little crowded there.

So we went to NC for Thanksgiving again this year. Unfortunately the Boysen-Lopez's now live in Arkansas, but we were able to visit with Daddy's brother (Tio Tom) and his lovely wife (Tia Kristen). We had a good time as demonstrated by the pictures below.

I love my Tio Tom. We played a lot. I hung upside-down a lot
The rest of the family was pretty cool too. Tia Kristen obtained toys for me and played with me tons

And Quixote, the dog, was recipient of lots of hugs (whether he wanted them or not). Ophelia (dog) and Rumi (cat) managed to escape my grasp, though

The grandparents were there also. We took many family portraits

While in NC, I got to experience some cold weather and fallen leaves:
And we went to a museum which had a little zoo

Here Gran is showing me some reptiles. Mom stayed away...ugh


Enjoying monkeys with Daddy

Annoyed with the camera


Petting a wallaby
Chasing a peacock


Random cuteness

I also got to meet Natalie for the first time. Her mom is Mommy's good friend Rachel. Dad is Emile
Next update should bebig too. Hopefully mom won't take forever again

Carpenter

My Nona bought me a little toddler table and chairs for Christmas and my mom let me have it early. But she made me work for it. I had to build it myself.

Gathering my tools:
Laying out the parts I need:
Reading the instructions:
This is a 2 screwdriver job.
Consulting the directions again and grabbing an Allen key
Such hard work and concentration

aah, the finished product: a chair
Enjoying the table the next morning
