First snow

Yes! It snowed for the first time this season! I was very excited when I looked out the window. Snow!

I was definitely eager to get out and play! Daddy was starting the base of our snowman...

And I helped him...

Wow! I love snow! Look at the pure joy on my face!

Daisy loves it too! Here she is waiting for the snowball...

Splat! She "catches" the snowball!

Our street was covered in snow...

Here is the first glimpse of our snowman...

Wait! We need some finishing touches like a hat or helmet...

And a tail!

Happy Halloween!

Boo! Happy Halloween! I really enjoyed Halloween this year! We started the day by decorating my pumpkin with Mr. Potato-Head dressed up as a pirate. Argh! Then Daddy carved our pumpkin, "Fangs".

They look pretty good, huh?

I was definitely ready to go trick-or-treating! Do you think we'll fill up both our pumpkins with candy?

Elmo's ready to go!

Got to get a picture with my brother first...

Here we go! I had a lot of fun trick-or-treating. Everyone loved my costume and I thought it was neat seeing all of the different jack-o-lanterns our neighbors had. I also, of course, loved getting tons of candy!

My new watch

I got a new watch today! I have been asking Mommy for a watch as some of my friends in preschool wear them. I wanted a Lightening McQueen watch - he's from the movie Cars. We found one we liked!

What do you think? I know, the picture is a bit blurry...maybe you can make out the face...

Cozy fire!

It's been kind of cold lately, so Daddy built a fire in our fireplace. It was fun watching the flames grow! We were all bundled around the fire enjoying the warmth, although Daisy was a little scared to get too close!Happy Winter!

Hanging out

Here are some pictures of me being goofy and hanging out. What?! Did I do something? I love tattoos...removable ones that is! Here I am showing off my pumpkin tattoo... What's up?! Just hangin' out with my bro...

First day of preschool!

Today was my first day of preschool! I attend a preschool really close to our house that many of our neighbors go to. I go 3 days a week for a few hours each day. I'm ready and really excited! Me and my Elmo backpack... Me in front of our house...Mommy is going to take a picture like this every year to see how tall I'm growing! Can I go to school now? I really enjoyed my first day at school. I painted, drew, played with cars and blocks, listened during storytime, and explored the Nature Nook outside with my classmates. School is fun!

Sprinkler Fun

It was a hot day today and Daddy was watering our backyard after planting grass seed. I really wanted to touch the water coming out of the sprinkler, but what I really wanted was to change into my swim trunks and play in the water! This is fun!

Uh oh, here it comes!

It got me!

I moved!

Big news! We moved to the Cleveland, Ohio, area. Daddy accepted an assistant professor position at Case Western Reserve University, so we are settling down in the midwest. Mommy and Daddy bought this beautiful, blue house in Shaker Heights... Do you like it? I certainly do! We have an old tree in the backyard and I wasted no time making myself at home digging in the dirt!

At first I had to make it to my new house in the move. Daisy certainly was curious as to what was in this box...

What was in it? Well, me, of course! I made it!

I have a lot of fun with the moving boxes. I love playing in them, hiding from Mommy and Daisy. Phew! This unpacking stuff is hard work!

Home sweet home. I am enjoying a yummy donut from a great local donut shop. Yummmmmmm...

Splish-splash

I love swimming in the pool! I have gone a few times this year with Mommy and really have fun splashing around. I think it's funny when I splash Mommy and get her wet. Sometimes I take my bucket, fill it with water, and dump it on her head. Ha, ha, ha!Here I am swimming around in the small pool... Using a kickboard... So many toy choices, so little time! Ready to throw the ball at Mommy and jump in the pool! I'm going to get you! (He did too!)
