Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, well, well....If it isn't me FINALLY posting again!?!?   I know, I stink....I have been a lil' busy!  In all reality, where DID Sept-Nov go?!?!  Thankfully I have this week off, so what better thing to do that catch up on some bloggin!?

We are all doing really well.   We certainly had LOTS TO BE THANKFUL FOR!!!  Dalton is growing up so fast!  We can't believe it!  He is talking a lot!  This morning it was raining and he pointed outside and said, "Rain."  I didn't even know he knew the word!  It is just so much fun hearing him talk!  He has the sweetest voice...I bet all moms say that about their kids right?!?

Ok, enough chit chat...Let's get to some PICTURES!  We have a lot to catch up on...From riding the train in Tilden Park, to visiting Godfather John at Grammy and Poppi's, to Halloween...We are absolutely LOVING it all!

It was a HOT September day so we thought we would escape the heat and head over the hill to Berkeley's Tilden Park.  It is always cooler there....But when we got there it was HOT there too! Oh well, we LOVED riding the rails with our lil man.  Dalton was so happy to see the train.  He was a little leary once we got one though...

 I took this photo from my lap when Dalton was sitting on Trav's lap.  I love the innocent face. 

 Still riding the rails...Here's my mellow kiddo!!!

 This picture makes me tear up.  Here's a Daddy and son moment on the train.  Dalton and Travis are such pals...I am one lucky lady!

I always look forward to October.  There is a lull in the school year for a couple weeks and we manage to get away for a trip to visit my parents in Meadow Valley.  It was wonderful!  My godfather John was there for a visit from Minnesota, so Dalton got to meet John for the first time too!  He was FASCINATED with his pipe.   Of course, he couldn't get enough of his Grammy...one of his biggest fans!

 John, Dalton and Grammy

 Yes, Grammy this is my nose....

 While we were hanging out on the front porch, Poppi was in his shop creating a new masterpiece, a violin!  (Course, we now all have hearing damage from the noise of his saw!)

Halloween seemed to creep up on us this year.  Thanks goodness Aunt Shirley and Uncle Dan got Dalton's costume for him MONTHS early!....Our little monkey was a perfect costume!  Doesn't he look thrilled about the costume?  LOL!  It really only took a minute and he was happy about it.

 We took him to the pumpkin farm at our local Farmer's Market.  How funny is that little tail?!?

 Look Mom, no hands!

 Peeking through the haystacks.

 What does a monkey do when he gets too hot?  Pull down the zipper Miami Vice style!

 After running around at the pumpkin patch, we went to see Auntie Marlene, Uncle Mike, and Trevor.  Dalton LOVES his cousin Trevor so much!  It took him back to see him as Scooby Doo! 

 

Dalton sitting on his favorite stool to take in a snack...Cheerios!

By the end of the evening after visiting family, including spending time with Nanny, Uncle Derek and Auntie Candace...we had ONE TIRED MONKEY! 

Promise to post Thanksgiving pictures soon!:)
