bed of leaves

A very kind neighbor made a pile of leaves for Jackson to play (pretend to sleep) in.

Peek-A-Boo

A few days after Porter's first tooth showed up, the other three came in.

Could that smile get any better?

Feels Good

We took care of cars and swam at an indoor pool on Saturday.

How nice is it to have two cars full of gas, oil changed, vacuumed, tires rotated, tire fixed, cars cleaned?

It feels good while it lasts.

And Adam and I took a twenty minute nap together after getting all that done.

Beat me to the punch

Had to laugh when I went in to get Porter from his nap and found Jackson inside too.

Double Trouble

wouldn't it be nice

We went to the beach and it was hot. Weird how it tends to be warmer in the fall/winter than the spring/summer. It felt nice to be in the warm sun. Unfortunately we had a rough morning - didn't find the flea market, Adam was sicker than he thought, the laundromat doesn't like you getting change unless your doing laundry, and it was hard to find parking. But it was nice to be with friends and Adam had a chance to get in the water for a little bit. I had my arms full and never made it in. Jackson ate up every second that he had playing and climbing rocks. He never seems to give me an ounce of trouble at the beach. Sometimes I wish that we lived there. He is as good as gold. And the evening was wonderful. We went shopping, had clam chowder on the pier, and listened and looked for sea lions. 

I'm so glad when daddy comes home

Missing You

Dearest Adam,

We have not seen nearly enough of you the past three weeks. Please come home soon. We will try really hard not to be cranky. We're counting down to the holidays when we might see you when it is still light outside. Love you,

Kirsten

P.S. Thanks for canning applesauce until 3 a.m. in the morning AND working the drums on guitar hero. Is there anything you can't do?

A boy and his boat

Gone Fishing

This is what Jackson does when I talk on the phone.

Attack

Watch out. That orange blob might get you too!

this could have been Jackson's halloween costume

Home away from home

Adam brought a big box back from work and Jackson had fun decorating and cutting out doors and windows for his house. It has a bed, a computer, and a kitchen. He always insists on changing into our out of pajamas in there. He also has a little light so that it is not too dark.

Rainy Days

We have enjoyed a few rainy days and cool weather.
