Giving Thanks in Chicago

Legos Land with Lou - The large Albert licking Daniel is made entirely of Legos. Lou and Daniel transformed to Jedi knights to take on the Lego Darth.

Charlie Floyd eating fresh whip cream with a dab of pie. Great Grandpa Floyd would be proud.

Conlin Cousins. Daniel posed with his mouth gaping in every photo and this was the only one where Charlie wasn't crying, so we went with it!

Big Zoo Lesson

It helps to have the child of a newspaper employee in your 3rd grade class!

Check out:
The Big Zoo Lesson at the Lansing State Journal.
There is a photo gallery and video to the right, or you can try clicking on my links and see if they work...

Daniel is in photo #5 in the Gallery sporting a hat Grandma Linda made (that's the photo in the print version of today's paper too!) and he's got a few shots in the video, including a duet with Kepler!

GO WHITE ON SPARTY GO WISCONSIN GREEN YOU RAH RAH!

Sparty On.
What a weekend! Uncle Bruce and Aunt Sue drove all the way from Slippery Rock in their Rocket Green - no one knew the difference - for the UW/MSU game. Mom said she caught her self cheering for the Badgers a few times, accidentally. What's a former badger to do? Molly couldn't handle the stress, she's asleep in the stroller.

Our Very Own Universe

Space Costumes 2008

The pumpkin walk in Downtown Lansing with Daniel, A reluctant Moon, Molly, Joe the Mickey Mouse and Emma the witch.

Houston, we have liftoff. It only took a bribe of one Peanut Butter Cup to get him to wear the moon for the picture . That's free in Daniel's book, given his strong dislike of peanut butter!Grandma and PopPop were visiting and were official Candy Distributors. Charlie made sure we had enough candy. We gave out almost 120 on a warm night where PopPop didn't even make them walk to the top of the Michigan hill we live on.

Bulldozers

Our thoughtful Daniel spent so much time thinking about where/how/when to kick the ball that few plays were actually made during this quarter...
