Star Wars Trivia

In George Lucas' original screenplay, what was Luke Skywalker's original name?

Was it:
A. Luke Moonwalker
B. Luke Starkiller
C. Luke Carbine

You can do it, we can help

Earlier this month, Christopher, with the help of Uncle Kevin, built his very first wooden project while his sister looked on. After using the hammer a few times and applying some glue, he was finished. That's not to say that the castle was finished but you get the idea. By the way, this castle is the same one Darth Vader defends in 'Casa De Vader'.

Babo Birthday

Last Friday we celebrated Babo's birthday. She turned 89 and we were all happy to celebrate with her. Christopher was especially happy because he got to eat some chocolate cake. (Note: Chocolate cake is actually yellow cake with chocolate icing, right Tim?)

Caught redhanded

Decorating the tree

This is a photo from the next night of us decorating the Christmas tree. All of the ornaments are at least 3 feet off the ground. They go from least breakable to most breakable as you make your way up the tree.

Christmas Tree Hunt

A quick (belated) photo of our Christmas tree hunt. We found a great locally owned place that we'll probably go back to next year.

There he is!

Here's the rest of the story...

Where is?

Every so often, we play a fun game at our house called, "Where is Christopher?" This particular evening was no different... to be continued

Pajamas with shoes?

Christopher went to bed with his shoes off. When we went in to check on him later, we discovered that he had put his shoes back on. Being the parents we are, we took a picture before taking his shoes off again.

Thanksgiving Photos

After a great dinner with the family from out-of-town, we played a game of charades. Lets just say some were better than others. We were divided up - boys vs. girls. The losers had to do the Chicken Dance for the winners. Later we pulled out a box of photos and started sorting through them.

Looking at photos

Stinkpots

Forgot to post this after we visited the Newport Aquarium. The sign says hatchling stinkpots are less than one inch long. We have several stinkpots at our house in case you're interested in seeing one a natural habitat.

Pops' Birthday

We thought these were some good photos from Pops' Birthday. Tim called during the Texas Hold 'Em Game played on the Nintendo DS, but we got back around to playing it again later in the evening after the babes had gone to bed.

Scoot away from the camera

In this video, Clara is clearly suspicious of the camera. She's a quick one for being so young.

Another movie

At Camp Gray, Christopher was chasing around a black balloon all weekend long. In this short video, you will see him chasing it, and then reaching back to pick up his drooping drawers.

Photo from the past

I'm working on the video for this year and came across this gem. Clara and Christopher are in Wisconsin currently with their Uncle Jeff and Aunt Rebeca. Here's a photo I discovered last night.
