Thanksgiving in Maine

This year was our third year at my dad and Betty's for Thanksgiving. We put a different spin on it though. We usually drive up to Maine the morning of T-day to make it in time for dinner. After being exhausted from the trip we eat and lounge the rest of the day. This year we went up the week before. Great idea. We had so much fun with Dad and Betty and Gigi, Auntie Barb, Kaitlynn, and Rachel. Kaitlynn's boyfriend, John even got to come. Great time. Hopefully everyone makes it up next year.

Visit to Eben & Johanna's in Niantic

We went to see our friends in Connecticut. Jazelle and Edison got some racing time in. Although super cute Edison is younger, he showed Jazelle how he works out. Jazelle thinks working out is for boys anyway.

This blogging isn't exactly working the way I would like. I have been trying to post without long blocks of space. I doesn't always work though. I will continue to post if you will continue to tolerate the spaces while I figure it all out or get a new computer.

Fall Festival

Bradlee Shopping Center had the fall festival to promote business. Xavier, Jazelle and I made a scarecrow. We ate at Xav's favorite eatery, McDonalds, then took the scarecrow home for the chipmunks and the squirrels. He didn't make it far with his eyes and mouth but he survived a dusting. Finally the Alexandria sanitation department took him away.

I came home from work on the 23rd of October and the kids were very happy and playful. Jay and I took turns getting our picture taken with them.

Jazelle Playing

This was October 19th. I don't have much time to upload images off my camera. Jazelle found the barn and thought the turkey was tasty.

Xavier was Mr. Incredible for Halloween. We did get some wear out of this costume. He went to a Trunk or Treat a week before halloween and really raked in the candy. We were on the cruise ship for halloween and several people gave him candy. Most people thought he was Superman. Xavier's reponse was "My not Superman, My Mr. Incredible." I can't get him to say I unless it is eye. Jazelle was a chicken. We forgot the camera and camcorder so we have no pictures of it. I have the costume clean so I might get a picture of her in just to have. Xavier is very into his legos. He has several of the "Coast Guard" lego sets. Hope everyone had a good Halloween and Thanksgiving.
