Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, we had our Thanksgiving celebration yesterday as Thursday was a working day for us.  We had some friends over so it was very festive.  Austin enjoyed having some other children around.  He enjoyed the turkey and rolls most of all.

Austin is staying very active and keeping us busy.  He enjoys running and jumping.  He has such a good time at nursery that he's not interested in napping while he's there.  He will fall asleep during the walk home (as pictured below).  He is talking all the time and learning more and more new words.

He loves to look at the moon and stars.  He wants to fly in a spaceship to the moon.  He's always trying to reach it.  "Austin reach moon.", he says.  He talks about it so much that his group in nursery has gone through a time of drawing pictures of the night sky and making rockets to play with.

Happy Halloween!



Austin had a blast for Halloween. We went to the Halloween party at the college and he loved looking at all the other kids' costumes. They went door-to-door as a big group and yelled 'Trick-or-treat!' at each door. At first Austin was scared of all the noise and at the first door he got caught in the crowd so he wanted to be carried after that. After about 4 or 5 doors he started saying 'treeeeat' when all the other kids were yelling.

A friend's son was dressed as a Jedi and when we went to his house, our friend answered the door dressed like Darth Maul and they had a light saber fight. Austin was scared of him at first but after he realized who it was he kept saying his name and wanting to touch him.

When we got home he wanted to take a bite of each piece of candy. He really enjoyed the chocolate!
