Husker Fun

Two weeks could provide lots of material for writing.  The operative word is "could".  We'll see how this pans out....

Showing off...I think.

Lots HAS happened in the last couple weeks though.  We had Halloween, Election Day, and a Husker game just to name a few.  Daniel's been just cruising through life dropping happiness along the way.  Halloween was a bit of a new experience for me seeing as I hadn't trick-or-treated (TOT from here on out) in many, many years.  I cannot remember experiences TOTing as a toddler either...I actually did a Google search to see what other kids Daniel's age do.  It was a bit awkward going door-to-door collecting candy knowing full well that...he's likely not the one going to eat it.  We ended up just hitting up a few neighbors on our street.  We have not had many TOTers in the past 10 years or so throughout my living situations, so it was a bit surprising (and quite sad) that we ran out of candy so quickly!...okay...it was sad because there were no leftover candy bars...life goes on.  

Ready to go!

Daniel dressed up as a fireman.  We decided to not let him have a hose or axe.  He had to make believe.  He was quite the stud though.  He gets an A+ on TOTing.  

Ready to eat!

The weather has been playing tricks on us, so we've actually had some nice November days to go hang outside.  We've been to the park a couple times and Daniels even played some in the leaves and bushes.  FYI:  We don't let him play in the bushes anymore because he gets scratched up.  Also worth noting that we didn't let him play in the bushes in the first place...he actually fell into some.  Potatoes potatoes.  

Daniel voted for the Giraffe Party...they lean to the UP

Yesterday was an interesting day for Ma and Pa (Kate and me).  One of the things on Kate's bucket list was to go to a Husker game (we're fans).  Quite a while ago, we decided to go with Kate's sis and bro-in-law, Jen & Queño.  We figured it'd be an easy win, quite chilly, but still a fun time.  It was quite a good game, we had a GREAT view, and it was beautiful weather.  It was really a great time.  It was tough not having Daniel most of the day, but he was able to hang out with his Uncle Joe and Aunt Jaime all day long (as well as Taylor and Jack...and the whole rest of the family!).  It was an all-around great day.  

Doesn't our son look so happy!!!?

Kate's got a big conference she's heading to in St. Louis this next weekend and Thanksgiving's right around the corner.  Boy how the year flies. 

Nice picture.
