New Slideshow Feature

I really like our new slide show feature. This way I can post numerous photos for you to see using minimal space. I never really liked having to fit the photos in with the blog text, so this is a solution that I actually love. I would really like to slow the slide show down a bit, but the third party site that created it doesn't give me that option. So if you'd like to browse them at your leisure, just click on the show once to activate the feature, then again to go to the photo site. (And just in case you didn't know, you can click on any photo on our blog for a high resolution version.)

Joy is a pile of leaves

My handsome boys

Their portraits came out so cute, I just had to post them:

Next step: crawling

Yesterday during Thanksgiving dinner, Owen started scooting backwards across the floor. Today, he was up on all fours rocking back and forth. That boy is ready to get moving.

Our first skate party

The boys attended their very first skate party. Brandon watched the other kids for a while, but he still wasn't interested in trying to skate. He just wanted to go pump quarters into the games. Dylan, on the other hand, was willing to try. It was so cute watching Russ hold Deets up and push him around the rink. They made it half way around when Dylan decided he was done. I was quite impressed with my little man. He didn't take the skates off until it was time to leave. He even played games in them.
