Thanksgiving

So we hosted our first ever Thanksgiving, it turned out really nicely (at least we think so, maybe my family has another opinion).

Everyone had a good time chatting after eating the delicious turkey Jason and I made, everyone enjoyed it more since Jason missed his usual rounds of taking ugly pictures of people while they are eating.

We have been having a very nice weekend playing with our cute little monster, he has been mostly cheerful this weekend and has really seemed to enjoy having extra time with daddy.

We have also learned something fascinating this weekend, behold the magic candy bowl:

Candy in this lovely glass pumpkin, no matter how good, no matter how easily reached will not be eaten by Jason, the second the candy is put in it the candy no longer exists in his thought process. I have long wondered why candy doesn't get eaten in our house and this magic candy bowl is the reason (I know I am pleased with the knowledge- the next time I have candy I don't want to share).

A Work in Progress

We are all moved in and slowly getting everything packed away. I have set up all of the important items (computers, TV, etc.). Laura has broken in the new tub. We love the new house and have a few pictures of our new place.

Here is the view from our dining room. Our new fridge and microwave are visible. Once we are rich we will be getting a stainless steel oven and dishwasher to match...

Here is the view of our dining area. This was where most of the boxes were stacked when we moved in. Those are all gone, and we should be getting our new table and chairs the day before Thanksgiving.

This is our temporary entertainment area. We are planning to retire this old TV and have the new one placed downstairs in our basement family room. That wont be for a while, so it'll have to do up here for now.

Gregor had his 4 Month Check-up last week. He now weighs in at 14 lbs 10 oz and 25 inches long.

Also, I had an ingrown tonail removed last week...fun...

Hey

So we are half unpacked and are really sick of it- I think we are going to be in this house forever because I really hate moving. It is so wonderful having a place of our own though and Gregor has gotten used to the new place rather quickly (yeah- happiness ensues). I'd also like to thank everyone who helped us move and all those that offered to help us move, we really appreciate it. I'll post more and maybe some pictures when I'm less tired :)

Various Halloween Costumes

Hello everyone!! We are without internet until November 5th, so if either of us has failed to respond to any emails, that is why... We snuck into work in order to post all of Gregor's various Halloween guises. Enjoy!

Loan Closed.... HOUSE IS OURS!

Finally everything came together, the loan has closed and funded. Now we get to start moving....yeesh... Both our loan officer and Realtor were outstanding. If anyone needs a good reference for either application we would ba happy to give you their information.

We have started playing around with a little Halloween clothing for Gregor...

More kilt :)

So Peri, Gregor is shocked that you would even ask what is underneath his kilt- he thought you could see his bare feet :)

And since the rest of the family wanted them here are a couple more pictures from the shoot:

So there you go- aren't my guys adorable? :)

Ahoy there Matey!

Gregor would like to start by wishing everyone a happy talk like a pirate day! He has been mumbling like a pirate all morning :) I've also been writing like a pirate all morning (I love new fonts- http://moorstation.org/typoasis/pirates/index.htm)

Mommy is tired like usual but it has been a little more trying this week as Wiggles had his 2 month vaccinations and has hated mommy all week for it:

I still get a smile from time to time though:

Anyway his doctors appointment went well otherwise and he is now up to a hefty 11 lbs 9 oz and 23 inches long. As a comparison to his earlier size we have these pics:

As you can see he is getting bigger by the minute :) So we are still a happy group even with the little bit a cranky thrown in this week.

Anyway I was also going to post a few more pictures of the kilt shoot but I am running out of time so I will just have to do that later.
