Gobble, gobble

It’s that time of the year again for the turkey platter/butterball kid mash-up. This year we had a two-for-one special with William and his cousin Lyndon. Let’s take a look:

Two best buds, to be sure. And of course, here’s the classic on-the-back shot:

And just for fun, let’s review Addie two years ago in the same pose:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

The Purse Project

Addie has developed a penchant for purses. Lots of purses. A photo of that collection will have to be posted.

She typically grabs one on the way out the door, whether it is to the mailbox or a car ride.

The purses collect her daily ephemera and then get re-deposited in her purse “area” (used to be anywhere downstairs; now she has a special purse shelf).

This is the first post in what I imagine will be a series of purse and contents photos. So without further ado, here’s purse one and purse two.

William at 8 weeks

We’ve survived almost two months as parents of two, and our little guy is growing up. Literally – he’s about 13 pounds – but he’s also developing his own personality. His sweet smiles are irresistible. As Addie would say, “Love you, sweet big boy.”
