Happy Thanksgiving everyone!


Rogan was being so cute pretending to take pictures of everybody that he had the whole group in stitches.


The Thanksgiving group.


A little tickle time with Jill.


Paul was Rogan's personal amusement ride.

This weekend we went to an interesting place. It looked and felt a lot like an old west town or maybe and old train station. At some point it was restored and filled with lots of mom and pop shops. There were old trains turned into little boutiques, a bunch of little kid activities including a ride on train and the best part of all, a duck pond complete with chickens.

We finally got a dry day so we geared up to tackle the yard. Rogan is finally old enough to join us while we're out working. He even helped a little. Mostly he just walked around playing with all the fall debris.




Rogan got a little worn out from working/playing so hard and had to take a rest. The shrub rake was much more his speed.


It's hard work pulling around a rake that's 3 times your size, but he does it with a smile!

It's no secret that music has played a significant role in both Andrea's and my life. It's what got us through high school, college, it's even what brought us together. One would assume that our son would also be as enthusiastic about music as we are. Well, one would be right.


This picture perfectly illustrates Rogan's love of music.




Rogan is always ready to share the music he finds with anyone around who will listen.


Sharing a Musical Moment with his Mommy.

Rogan doesn't just like to listen to music, he quite enjoys playing as well. His Grandpa Steve even got him a light up drum pad to play with. Of course he loved it, but it also got him interested in the keyboard. We had to break out our keyboard at home and this video is the moments just after...




Rogan is also turning into quite the dancer, check out his new moves!

The annual Hopelink Turkey Trot took place this weekend. Some of you may know that Donna(Nana) works at Hopelink. They are a non-profit company that helps people in need from all around the region, but specifically in local neighborhoods. They provide all sorts of help. You can read more about the Hopelink message at their website http://www.hope-link.org/.

This year we all participated by walking the 3 mile route through beautiful Kirkland.
