...And So On...: Happy Thanksgiving

Howdy folks. We've had some interesting times the past couple of weeks. Hopefully I can bring you up to speed, because if not...well...I guess our lives will go on regardless.

I'm kinda blurry, but this is what we do everytime we get out of the car...I just pull him up front since I have a 2-door.

Got everything he needs.

Vrooooooom.

The farthest back I can remember is a couple weekends ago. Kate was out of town for a convention. It was in St. Louis and she had a lot of fun (from what she's told me...I can only take her for her word. She doesn't really have a reason to lie I guess...anyways) Katie out of town for 3 1/2 days = lots of Daddy/Daniel time. It was really a great time though. School evenings were pretty regular. I stopped by and visited my folks a couple times, but otherwise, just lots of playing at home and outside (if the weather allowed). That Saturday, we went to my buddy, Brad's place and watched the Nebraska-Minnesota game. It was such a riot because he has a little girl just a few months older than Daniel, named Amelia. They get along great. Played like crazy, followed each other around, and even fed each other (okay...there's no way Daniel would ever share his food...but Amelia did).

Playing with Amelia.

Upon Kate's return, Daniel came down with a fever Sunday night. We didn't want to send him out feeling all rotten (I wasn't feeling that great myself), so I stayed home with him the Monday before Thanksgiving. Lots of hanging out. He slept for VERY long times (a 4 hour morning nap). He was getting gradually better and seemed happy enough, but was still running a fever and would get very upset at times. Tuesday, Katie and I split the day at home with him. By Wednesday, he was feeling a lot better. We're not sure exactly what it was, but oh well.

Someone's not that great at posing yet.

Thanksgiving was a grand ol' time. We spent the morning/afternoon with my folks. The whole immediate fam was there as well as my Uncle Randy, Aunt Tammy, and their kids (Emily, Noah, and Sam) from Minnesota. Daniel was unfortunately pretty fussy, so we had to leave earlier to get him down for a nap. It was still a great time with lots of playing outside and great food. We then spent the late afternoon/evening at Kate's folks hanging out. Fun playing pool, watching football, and playing with nieces/nephews. Great day overall. The rest of the weekend was spent pretty relaxy like. We did lots of cleaning on Sunday to get ready for the full week. Hope everyone's weeks were grrrrreat!
