December begins!

Boy, a lot changes in a month! This is December 6th. Adam has learned to clap and pull up to his music table... of course he wouldn't stand up by himself while I had the camera...

Caleb gets a piggyback ride from Papa!

Adam loves pushing the buttons and turning the "page" so the table lights up and plays music!

Caleb and Gracie being best buds...

We have our first measurable snow for the season - and Caleb and I put up the snow village.

The pieces are out on the table - I put the houses up - Caleb was to place the trees, people, etc.

He did a fine job - and then added his "Cars" cars and trucks to the city - placing them on the road - along with some wild animals from his zoo collection!

Adam and his "hands up" position! I think he's familiar with the Blue Man Group too!

He's growing so quickly!

November highlights!

November began with a special treat for Caleb! Bennett and Stephanye took him to the Health Adventure downtown to see the Blue Man Group - Sound Waves exhibit. He got to play on PVC pipes and various non-traditional percussion instruments!

Crawling through the connector to the next part of the exhibit...

I think this is Rock Movement Number .... I don't remember....
Another fun tunnel! Caleb climbs on a piglet outside of Pack Place! Great picture!

Demonstrating the Blue Man drumsticks Uncle Bennett bought him... adoring little brother Adam watching in the background!

A little quieter time - reading through some books!

Of course, Thanksgiving always comes in late November. We traveled to Clover to be with the Rogers and all the extended family! Caleb took up with Nathaniel for the day and tried to hang a spoon on his nose like his cousin!

the other end of the table... Stephanye, Adam, Bennett, Jeff, Abbey, Hannah and Pete

Great-grandmother Nana Ollie holds Adam for a bit... he's always chewing, cutting more teeth!

Nathaniel and Caleb in the TV room - Caleb enjoying the slide show!

Elizabeth and Alan, along with Pam and the back of David's head!

Early the next morning, Caleb and Nathaniel watch a DVD... Caleb spent the weekend with us in Clover!

Caleb and Nathaniel outside enjoying the warm weather!

Great-grandfather Pete holding Caleb in his new guitar shirt...

We dropped Caleb back off at home, and then came on up the mountain... on the way to dinner at Brenda's, we saw this gorgeous sunset!

Sunday, November 28th was Emily's 28th birthday. We celebrated at Asiana - all the Chinese food we wanted to eat! Emily's admiring a S'More ornament, saying "Let it snow!"

Mom, Stephanye and Caleb look on...

Emily's holding one of the cards she made - and got back!

Say cheese!
