Happy Thanksgiving

We celebrated a lovely thanksgiving day at Little House... I swear more people than just Angus were there, but as per usual there are more pictures of him than anyone else, all with food on the face. :)

Morning Walks

Lately we've been taking morning walks before Nana comes to pick Angus up for school. It's mostly an attempt to give Olive some more attention and activity but now that we've done it once or twice Angus now demands his "seooes" and "scockies" so we can "go walkee"

Often the walk errupts into some sort of tantrum because he doesn't want to go the same way Olive & I are going. This day I was able distract him with the camera

Pausing mid tantrum to give a hearty "cheese!" for the camera


Hiding to avoid having to put his hat back on


Attempting to run away once he realizes he's been found

Park Day

For Veteran's Day we took Angus & Olive to the park. It was the first really cold day so far this year (you know, a whole 68 degrees or something)

In this photo, Rod looks on as a drunken Angus stumbles down the path...


Baby Boy on a mission to get up close and personal with some Quack Quacks. Later he was so eager to make friends he ran straight into the lake! soggy shoes and socks on a cold day... fun times.


Learning to skip rocks. A 1 1/2 year old can do anything if you just show 'em how! Wait, he was only 16 months here!


Brief Beauty Shot


We also discovered that Angus has quite a talent...

Video Proof

Remember when I posted once about how Angus responded to being asked to set his cup down "gently"? You know, he hugged the cup? Turns out, I did videotape it and found it! Ta DA!

Happy Halloween!

Because Angus' Momma is awesome, she precarved the pumpkin and then put the pieces back in so he could take them out. It was a fun time. Shape sorting is one of his favorite activities!




Angus was a fire guy for Halloween. Check out the homemade costume... woopee!






We were very surprised how much Angus got into trick or treating. There were a couple moments of terror that involved older children in scary masks, and he always wanted to be held at the door of any given house, but he knew to take the candy from the bowl and said buh-bye to everyone. He gleefully ran from house to house and only got tired of doing that when his bag got so full he couldn't keep his balance anymore!

He also developed quite a fondness for the decor

Happy Guy

I just feel the need to prove that he does smile... :)


and looks very asian, but you knew that.
