Thanksgiving and Then & Now

Gosh, it's been awhile since I posted anything. After celebrating Miles' birthday, not much has happened outside of our ordinary weeks. We did, however, have a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family in Ft. T this weekend. A few pictures from the last couple of weeks.

Miles still ADORES his baths. He recently finished some "swim lessons" and continues to prove that he thinks he is half fish.


Still in the crib. We (Josh and I) aren't ready to move Miles to a big bed yet. We are too comfortable with the knowledge that he is safe in his bed (which he loves) and that he can't run around the house while we sleep.


We took all three dogs to the dog park while in Ft. T. Miles LOVED chasing them around. I think that dogs might be his favorite "toy" right now.



Mom and Dad think this the above scenario is a hoot.


During our Thanksgiving meal. We had a wonderful dinner and have so much to be thankful for. Here, Lucie shows Miles how thankful she is to have him feed her some green beans (or is that potato?).


Friday we went to the Conservatory to see their Christmas floral exhibit. As always, it was really beautiful. This was our sad attempt at family Christmas photo.


Then and Now -
My parents always took us to the Conservatory each year for our Christmas picture. Here is an oldie from about mmmm 27 years ago?


And here we are today.


While in Ft. T my dad wanted to document the growth of both a tree and me. He planted a blue spruce when we first moved into the house in 1977. At the time, the tree and I were about the same size.


Now it has gotten so big that it has started to grow into other (more attractive) trees and take over the yard. It's coming down soon (might already be down?), so here we are again. It surpassed me years ago. See, won't even fit into the whole frame!
