Happy Thanksgiving

If red is good then why not a rainbow of colors?

STAIRS!


We spent Thanksgiving weekend with our family on the west side of WA. We had beautiful weather for part of the trip. Sunshine on Thanksgiving in the Pacific NW is almost unheard of. Oliver had a blast playing with his cousins. This year he was able to eat most of the food that we did. And he LOVED it. He inherited a healthy appetite from both of us. He'll hate us later for it when he's older and his metabolism has slowed down. But for now he's constantly burning calories growing and learning to walk. He hasn't quite mastered steps on his own, but he loves to practice while holding our hands. He also discovered stairs on this trip. He was drawn to them everywhere we went. This year we're most thankful that we live in a one story house.
