Year End, Part 1

I know it's been quite a while since I've posted any TE updates, and the fans have been clamoring...so here's Part 1 of our year end update (best as I can remember).

This picture reminds me that Nana, Addy and Tanta came to visit in November. The excuse was to see TR for his birthday, but I think this images tells a different story.    


We made it through the Thanksgiving holiday without ANYONE getting sick.  Too bad we can't say the same for Christmas (oops, a spoiler).  TE loved every bite of the two thanksgiving dinners we had.  We started at O'ma & O'pa's (in pix below), and ended up at Uncle Scot & Aunt Maggie's (NOT in pix below b/c they are on my computer at work.  Lame, I know).  Let it suffice to say TE looked pretty much the same at both dinners - hungry.

Here he is, all dressed and ready for someone to pass Buffy (long story, but that's what we call the bird @ the Schierloh household).

This is TE saying a prayer of thanks.  

Or was it a prayer that O'ma would break out one of his Christmas presents a little early?  Hmmmm.

Yes, his grandparents no longer have will power when it comes to saving gifts for Christmas.  O'ma's excuse for busting out this 'little' toy was something like this... "well, he just doesn't have anything to play with while he's here".  Never mind the toy box in the den, or the drawer full of  surprises (AKA toys) in Uncle Michael's old room.  Or all of the rooms to explore, curtains to pull, and chairs to lick.

Keep in mind, this toy now lives in our living room.  So much for the 'something to play with at O'ma & O'pa's house' idea.
