Thanksgiving 2008

We went to my parents house for Turkey day. It was fantastic! Thanks, Mom and Dad!

We always get a picture in front of the turkey. Ben and I with our kid, and Mary with hers!

Evan and Lance took turns hanging out in Ludo's kennel. Evan thought it was the best!

Nickelodeon Universe

Emily envited Kara, me, and Arja and our kids to enjoy an afternoon at Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America last weekend. Evan loved the rides, which surprised me because in June, he hated the rides at the zoo. Ben and I took our turns with Evan on the rides....thank goodness, because I'm not a ride person anymore!

Thanks, Emily! We had a blast!

two more lake views

I'm sorry if you are not thrilled to see another lake view, but sometimes I am too amazed by the scenery to let it slip away without taking a picture.

Halloween 2008

Evan was a pirate........and so were Mary and Ludo, by pure coincidence.

We took Evan trick or treating, even though he doesn't even know what candy is. It was fun seeing him learn how to do it, and he loved to hold the candy in his hands. After a few houses, he kept saying "more....more!" Can you tell that he's clueless about candy from his face below?!!!
