Bean Bytes: Prepping for my Imminent Arrival
Inducement was scheduled for December 29th at 5:00 a.m. Mimi and Papa came up to watch my brother Connor. I, to be honest, thought it was too cold to come out, so I was in no hurry.
First stop was some place called Tim Hortons...I got some water and some yummy chocolate milk to prepare for the move out (the employee did not want his picture taken, so he employed his ogre magic to blur everything out!
A couple of emergencies cause immediate waiting, fine reading and almost an hour delay. WAKE UP DAD!
and then....
Captain's Blog: Christmas at Home
This was our first Christmas at our house where Connor got to wake up, have breakfast and open gifts that were left from Santa Claus. This year was good to the little man. Trucks, trains, tools and more! Then we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's for some more merry Christmas cheer...Connor also scored a sweet remote control train set! Next year, little Finn will join us for all of our great Christmas fun!
Doughboys to start....
Trains to play with...
Cousins to hang out with...
More trains to play with...
This is how I play...

Christmas Choo Choo with Thomas and Percy
The Columbus Metro Library has a great train display during Christmas. Dad took Connor to see it, and ol' Connor was NOT disappointed. The pictures are one thing, but watch the ridiculous excitement as Connor a) tells the kid next to him that it's a choo choo and b) can't believe that it's really Thomas (Tommy).
Peanut Post: Cooking with the Neighbors
I got invited over to the neighbors to make Christmas cookies with Beth, Scott, Jack, Leah, and Erin Rose! We made lots of shapes, colors, and used a bunch of yummy toppings! Needless to say, dinner was not substantial that night.

Heeeere Hooooorsey!
Apparently we have taken the 'I'm a horse' game to a new level. I gave Connor a bowl of blueberries this morning and he proceeded to eat them...'horsey style'.
Peanut Post: My First Winter Storm!
I haven't been a fan of snow since I first encountered it. Luckily though, Dad showed me how to try and eat it and I find it much more fun now. Getting dressed takes what I consider to be an eternity (about 10 minutes), but I sure am warm out there!

Peanut Post: More ThanksChristmas!
Nan, Poppy, Dawn, D.J. and Dalton all came over for dinner and gifts last night. I was being a bit of a ham and moving way too fast to get too many pictures, but I did slow down for one thing. Santa swung by Nan and Poppy's early and dropped off this cool thing...Chuck the Truck! Thanks 'Santa'!
Pupdate: Baby it's Cold Outside
Last night, we got about an inch of light, fluffy, white snow. It's really nice to look at through the window, but when you have to 'do your business' at 6:30 a.m. in it, it's better to just snuggle up with a good friend.
ThanksChristmas!
We combined Thanksgiving and Christmas down in Marietta this year to get the family together and let the kids enjoy themselves. Unfortunately sickness ravaged the community and it was too dang cold to spend time outside. We still managed to eek out some good times and good food and everyone is relatively back to normal now. Thanks for hosting Mimi and Papa! And Connor says 'Thanks' to Santa, over and over again.
