Let's back up a little

Thanksgiving!
I don't have any pictures to show for Thanksgiving. I guess they were all taken on my mom's and sister's cameras. So, my mom, dad and sister came down for the weekend. Alex really enjoyed all the extra attention and showed off his new skill of pulling himself up. He wants to stand up, then sit down, then stand up again. Always in motion!
My sister and I went shopping on Black Friday. I have to say, the crowds were disappointing. It was fun to get out without the little one, shopping was much more efficient. But, I do miss him when he isn't with me, singing a song and making a scene!
Here's a picture from Thanksgiving week...

Let's back up a little more

Halloween!
Alex was an adorable monkey for Halloween. Phil was a monkey's dream come true...a giant banana!



The childcare center at Phil's work does a Halloween parade and the different offices come out to hand out candy. It was a lot of fun seeing all the cute costumes (the kids looked cute too!) When we got to Phil's office, he joined the parade. That night, the shopping center down the road did store to store trick or treat so we went to that too. Alex and Phil were a huge hit! People came up to us saying they had heard about the monkey with his banana and they wanted to see them.

What will we do for an encore?

Well, we'll give this a try

So, we thought we should give blogging a try. Perhaps it will help keep everyone updated on the life and times of Alexander. I'll warn you all in advance, we are not that exciting of a family. We don't get out much so there might not be much to report, but we'll see.
