We have a new roommate

Your adventures outdoors continue but now with a shopping cart. You love pushing this thing around outside and you love going to the supermarket with it and you push it behind my cart.

When your Dad went back to San Diego after Thanksgiving he left a roommate with us.

CHARLIE!

You guys get along really well together and he loves you. But you love him more.

Daddy came to Florida!

It must be time for Thanksgiving because Daddy got to come for a visit.

We spent a day at the Animal Kingdom.

We even got to meet a couple of friends along the way.

You LOVE Mickey Mouse (or Mimi as you call him)

Xander, you are such a stud. You are excited and curious about EVERYTHING.

I love that about you. I learn so much just watching you attack the world.

I love the joy you find in the everyday parts of life.

Our Thanksgiving Tree

This year for Thanksgiving we made a Thanksgiving Tree.

Starting on the first day of November everyone writes down one thing that they are thankful for and hangs it on the tree. This is what it looks like half way through the month.

It really has helped us remember all of our many blessings.

Twelfth Night

I flew into San Diego for one day to see Adam in Twelfth Night.

The Master's students did an amazing job with this piece and even though it was a 12 hour trip to see a two hour show, it was completely worth it.

Way to go, USD MFA class. Well Done.

So tired

I wore him right out. He fell asleep with a cracker in his mouth.

Playdate with Madeline

Where does Xander take his playdate?

DISNEYWORLD!

We met our friends, Heather and Madeline at Epcot.

We got to meet Daisy.

Xander looks a little shocked.

Aren't they a sweet little couple? I love Madeline's red hair.

Nature Walks

Our apartment is right on the back of a golf course so we get to go on nature walks all of the time. Xander loves to explore.

He has no fear. None.
