Thanksgiving!

It's 4:05 on Tuesday afternoon, and I just got home from school. The Thanksgiving break has officially begun! Cara has to work on Thursday (booo), but we'll have the rest of the week/weekend together. We're heading down to her grandmother's in Decatur after she gets off work, but staying close to home otherwise. It will be nice to be able to hang out.

Boston has been a bit under the weather lately. He has been waking up with a stuffy nose of a morning and has had a fever off and on. It hasn't really affected his appetite, though. That kid loves his squash and bananas. He seem to have his favorites, but I think he would eat nearly anything.

I hope all is well with everyone. Have a great Thanksgiving, turkeys.

Congrats Corey and Sally!

My brother and sister-in-law found out they're having their first baby. We're all pretty excited for them. He seems to have a bit of babyphobia, but that is cured immediately after they plop the little guy (or girl) in your arms for the first time. Check out their blog for updates and whatnot. Congrats!

Fish Out of Water

Cara received a flyer in the mail a few weeks before Halloween from the photographer we used for Boston's baby photos. She was running a special on fall photos. Cara assumed that this meant pumpkins and the like, so she dressed Boston up in his lobster costume. It wasn't until she got there that she realized fall photos meant a tractor and leaves. I don't think a lobster's natural habitat is an Indiana farm under a John Deer and some leaves, but it turned out pretty funny. Maybe we'll take his Christmas photos in the lobster costume as well.

It's amazing how much of a difference there is between five months and six months. Boston is doing so much now it's hard to keep up. We're at the point now where we can't leave him in the room with a few toys because he will be destroying whatever paper we left laying on the floor clear across the room. It's a blast, though.

Halloween

Halloween was awesome this year. Cara had an itinerary all mapped out so we could hit as many stops as possible when I came home from school. We started out in Columbia City and saw Mom at the bank. We moved on and said hi to Mamaw and Robert where Boston picked up a Snickers and a 3 Musketeers to munch on (in the wrapper). From there we went back to Ft. Wayne and saw Dad and Jan. It looked like E.T. with all the trick-or-treaters walking around their neighborhood. Next we drove down the road and saw the Pulvers. We stopped by to see Dr. Lewis (from Parkview) before heading home. By that time it was time for baby baths, so Cara took the pinchy lobster to Decatur on Saturday. Good times. I could be wrong, but this is probably the coolest lobster you have ever seen. And the great thing about Halloween with a kid who barely has two teeth: eating his candy. It would be stale by the time he reached the age to eat it all, so I'm doing him a favor, right? That's what I keep telling myself, anyway. Happy Halloween, everybody!
