Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I think we saw almost everyone in the past few days but if you're on the short list of people we missed hopefully you had a good one and we'll catch you around Christmas.

We did pretty much the same gatherings as always but this year the Kukesh side got together at my parents house instead of Gram mys. It was different but fun as usual, there were 21 people this year (I think) including Cameron who was there for her first feast. There was just as much food as always, maybe more actually, especially appetizers and desserts. After that we rolled across town to Jen's parent's house where we had more dessert, played cards and visited with everyone there. It was a long filling day and now I have to diet before Christmas gets here so I can do it all over again.

Besides that we've been traveling around a bit too. Last Saturday we went up to the Mountains for the day an Sunday went down to Peabody for lunch with some of Jens friends at Bugaboo Creek, which Brooke loved because of all the animals. I have lots of pictures from all this but for now here's just a few videos from the last few days until I get them up which hopefully will be in a day or two so check back soon for more.

Early November

Well there hasn't been a whole lot going on around here to take pictures of lately. Jen has been very busy with Nicole and Tim's wedding and then with the Jennie Fund fundraiser but now that all of that is finished and the holidays will be arriving soon there should be a lot more in the next post. Brooke did spend her first night without us at Grammy and Grumpet's the night of the wedding and everything went great. She played all day and slept right through the night. I don't have any pictures of it because I wasn't there so for now there are just a few pictures from around the house (click here or on the pictures) and a video of her drinking some very refreshing Powerade below. That's about it for now, if nothing exciting comes up before Thanksgiving we'll probably see most of you then but if not have a great one and check back for another update after that.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you all had a good one this year. We have been keeping busy between our pumpkin carving/painting, trick or treating and fall clean up around the house. This year Brooke went out as a ballerina and Jen and I also joined the fun as a kitty cat and a cowboy. I don't think she quite got why everyone was dressed up at first but after Grumpet helped her get the hang of the treating part she didn't really seem to care. We roamed the west side neighborhood with Brianna and Sophia for quite a while, collecting a bunch of candy that she can't even eat but she seemed to have fun doing it and that's all that really matters I guess. I'm sure the candy won't go to waste either ;-)

Other than some yard work that's all we've really done lately. Brooke loves to play in the leaves, when we were out trick-or-treating she stomped through a few peoples piles. Oops. Anyhow for pictures of the festivities you can click here or on the pictures above. We don't have any exciting plans coming up for a while but you never know what will come up so check back soon and if anything blog worthy happens you'll see it all here. Bye for now.
