Finally! Some Thanksgiving Photos

Well, my camera finally arrived and we have tons of fun new photos. Of course, not all of them are worthy of showing off here, and many aren't even of Fin (ETHAN!! TOMMY!!!), but at least now I can do some updates. It's not easy to update when Fin is awake because he REALLY loves to get into my keyboard drawer and eat all the little screws that come out from his wrestling with the drawer and he loves to eat the mouse because it's optical and has the red light.


This is my dad's side of the family... so many kids!!!


Here Tommy deviously shows Fin how to eat turkey...


There was only one ham at this feast...


Fin shows Grandma how good he looks in his "throne" :)


Grandpa starts to snooze while Fin munches & crunches.

Small Packages

Boxes are the new rave.

Since I still don't have my camera to post Thanksgiving photos, here are some other, less interesting ones. :) I hope this satisfies everyone's baby pic fix for a few more days...


Who needs toys? This box makes a nifty airplane.


See, all kitties like boxes.


Peeper can read. Upside down. (No this isn't posed.)

More soon!!!

what pictures?

I know I know, "Where are the photos?" you are asking.

I knew I'd forget something in Red Bluff... who'da thunk it would be MY CAMERA!!!

So I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail :)

Love y'all!

Bunky Went to New York!!! (again)

Ingrid's been too busy (lazy) recently to update, so I'm helping out on this entry. We went to NY at the start of OCtober to pick apples, then I went off to Churchill to take pictures of Polar Bears, and then we did another trip to NY in early November so Ingrid could attend the Machinima Awards (the Mackies). Ingrid got to travel to some of the less scenic bits of NY not normally on any tours - through Long Island City and the Queensbridge housing projects, then through Astoria to the American Museum of the Moving Image where the awards were held. She got practiced at travelling by gypsy cab and calling and negotiating rates with the mostly non-english speaking drivers.

We also took this opportunity to take Bunky around to do proper city stuff so that he has a hope of being a real New Yorker someday. :) Which is to say we took him for his first ride on the subway (into Manhattan), a quick walk crosstown to the Central Park Zoo, and then a ride in a yellow cab downtown to the Village for a pizza lunch. After that, it was a quick trek up to the Strand and the Forbidden Planet, then to Union Square for another ride on the subway (uptown this time), and finally over the East River on the Tramway to get home just in time to pack and leave for the airport.

Bunky slept on the tramway, didn't enjoy the view.

Sunday in the park with Nun

Since all anyone wants to see is photos, here are a few you might enjoy.



Fintan enjoys some lunch at Nun's (our Thai mini-restaurant).



Dad helps Fin use the chopsticks. (He's still a little clumsy - don't want to be having any poked eyeballs or anything!)



He loves his auntie Nun and uncle ... Dad (we never can remember his name, not even after five years...we just call him "dad").

Intolerable Cuteness Montage

Why do a cuteness montage? Because I'm the mom, that's why.

Okay, paparazzi, that's enough for today.

Lately he's got this thing about making freakyface at the camera. He sees the camera and has to "ham it up." So here are a few "outtakes" from my photo collection.

Halloween part 2

Okay, well, no photos yet so I took these quickies of him in his costume tonight... sorry, they're a bit blurry...
