See Chris, you just lean to one side to roll over.

Ahh! Where are my hands?!!

Chris fell asleep at our visit to the beach thanks to Mom's knitted sweater and blanket.

Come on Dad, let's hunt for buried treasure.

Ben removed the dead grass.....

so he could spread grass seed before first snowfall.

Thanksgiving #1

We had a very nice Thanksgiving, despite the expressions on the boys' faces.

All the boys. Check out those faces :)

A very chill Chris had a good 1 month doctor's appointment - 20-some inches long (it's tough to get those legs straightened out!) and 10lbs 3oz!

Monkey Ben climbs up to the table to get himself a snack.

1 month!

Wild-man Ben is known at church as "the wanderer" for his excursions during Mass. :) We always hear how much people enjoy seeing him.

Chris is one month old today! It's amazing how fast time has flown!

Tomorrow is our first Thanksgiving of the year. We're all set for a good turkey dinner and bring on the pumpkin pie!

Rest and play

Ben pushing Mom and Chris on the swing. Yes, that gray and navy bump on Mom is Chris sleeping peacefully :)

And more peaceful slumbers.

Ben showing off Dad's new hockey helmet.

Chris also enjoys checking out the world around him.

Tomorrow we're off to Toronto to visit the Consulate and make Chris an American! Wish us luck getting everything done quickly and finding a good place for lunch!
