Snow!

 our "sled"

JuneBug was a little scared sitting up to ride but enjoyed it much better laying down. Ike was even nice enough to pull me down the rode a bit.

PS Ike got to make THE call to work again today! Yippee!

Grandma Roxy also brought the boys down a couple of items. Here Ike and Junebug play with Thomas the Tank Engine.

Reading It's Great to be an Engine. It plays music!

Getting Peanut to smile

Here I'm sure Junebug was smiling. Actually probably more like screaming.

Thanksgiving~ Thursday

A note on the pictures. Currently, we don't have a way to turn the pictures so that you don't have to crank your neck around to see them. We hope to have this fixed soon, but computers can be very mischievous. Also, we don't have a lot due to the fact that our memory card was full for half of the weekend with no way of emptying it. And as is always the case you can check Kate's blog or SAM's blog for more other pictures (everyone had camera issues this weekend). That is when they post.

Everyone came rolling in for Thanksgiving late on Wednesday night. Thursday morning Junebug opened up some surprises and Peanut made his grand entrance for three of the visistors. 

Aunt Kate and Uncle Stephen bought JuneBug some tractors.

Great-Grandparents Visit

A couple of weeks after Peanut* was born Grandpa and Grandma Gray came to see him (and the rest of us too)

JuneBug kept Grandpa very, very busy.
