Xmas Card Outtakes

I was actually smiling in these, sort of; sometimes it all about the photographer.

Happy Christmas, Grampa Frank and Granny Syl

Sometimes the photo really says it all; thanks, Emily, for helping me with the painting and taking the photo.

Santa Who?

Mom took me to see Santa at her office today. I got one look at that shirt and said, "I'm outta here." I have to see Dr. Troy later today; Dad bought me a nice Christmas book so I wouldn't be entirely traumatized by the experience, and so I'd have something good to read in the waiting room.

Henry and Violet

Henry's friend Violet visited today while Randy and Lisa (aka Violet's parents) went on a train ride. They got a little carried away watching "Maisy" cartoons. Henry is a big fan; Violet had not seen them before.

Fauve (not the football player) in the Making?

Thanks, Emily, for teaching me to paint and for taking the photograph. Daddy says I'm working in the early Matisse style for sure.

Happy 25 Month B-day to Me!

Today was fun. I went to the gym and then got some new rubber rain boots (black and yellow) so I can splash in the puddles.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween was great fun! Trick or treating with friends was great, and I have a bag of candy to prove it. Someone even gave me a plastic monkey. In case you don't know, I was a gnome, thought I declined to wear the beard. Here are some pre-Trick or Treating photos with my friend Violet, who was also a gnome; and Clementine, who was a flower. And that's a Snickers bar I have.
