The Zoo

It used to be a tradtion for Katy's family to go to the Zoo on Thanksgiving. They decided to revive it this year. Here are some picts. This first one is just a cute picture of Brayden. We'll put some up later of the more exotic animals, but Brayden seemed more interested in the animals that would eat out of his hand.

10 Year Reunion

Last night was my 10 year high school reunion. The whole event was great but a little surreal--many of these people were my closest friends at one time but I've not kept up with them at all. It was great to see them again!

I worked the registration table which meant I saw everyone that walked in the door (great!) but also had to remember people's names (hard!) --some people look just the same and others seem familiar but no memories come to mind.

Ah, wonderful reminiscing....

What are some of your favorite memories from high school?

Emmit Smith wins Dancing with the Stars

I saw on msnbc.com that Emmit won dancing whith the stars. I wonder how many calls were made from cell phones in sports bars, or how many husbands were saying, "dang it ma, you can't vote for the kid just cause he has dimples! Emmit Smith was playing the New York Giants with a separated shoulder when that little punk was chasing teenyboppers and trying his hardest join a boy band!".

On a completly different and random note, here are some words Brayden knows:
ball,
yes,
no,
Thank you,
Baba (mama)
Dada
oh-oh
Doggie
Duck
Paw Paw (he may be a little rusty here)
Socks
Shoes,

Pockets

On Saturday I took K out for her birthday. Wilna (her mom) came by to give K some training and to look after Brayden while we went out to eat. I got Brayden duty. I took Brayden outside (one of his favorite places) and just put my hands in my pockets, leaned against my Ford Ranger, and wached Brayden as he explored. Then I noticed him standing on the sidewalk and fumbling for his pockets, and trying to lean against the pickup. He finally got both hands in his pockets, looked up at me, and started backing up to the Ranger like he was going to lean up against it - a perfect imitation of my pose. That made my day - that and taking K out to a really great Italian place in Napa.

Anyway here are some new photos:





Right: Us at our new place (notice the hands in the pockets!)





Below: Just before we left our old place in LV, Trick or Treating, and Brayden and Ricky playing baseball in Chris and Wilna's back yard.
