  This is just another of my favorite pictures revisited, west cutting onions, j/k... Hey are these guys related? West has got Nolan by a few months but it seems pretty obvious to me...  

Hello again, Yesterday Westley got his first pets after giving me a very good argument for why he should get a puppy. We canned the puppy idea and went with the goldfish. All things were going well until west decided to feed "goldy and sandy" (as named by west) and emptied a massive amount of smelly flakes into the tank. Before I could do anything about it the feast was underway and we had to get to church. When we got home I told West to go check on goldy and sandy sure that we would have to have a lesson about the mortality of fish etc.... amazingly the fish survived and west makes sure to apologize to the two flippers everytime he sees them for feeding them "lotta food".

Hello all, Westley and I had a very interesting morning this week where he both met and said goodbye to a worm that sincerely loved. I add these clips for your viewing pleasure, they are rather long so if you want to cut to the chase go to Part III at roughly 3 minutes westley starts the action and at roughly 4:05 he realizes what he has done. Part I - West introduces "picture" the worm and grows very melancholy Part II - more thoughts on worms and why the hulk is scary Part III - we learn about the wonder of worm multiplication and other random things

Quite a group gathered for little Nolan, his baby blessing in our home on October 21st 2008. We love you Nolan!

Yet another unforgettable trip to Acadia ME.  This is far and away our favorite place on the east coast.  Heaven must be just like it.  Every fall we travel on the third weekend in October and miss the crowds (that is a patented secret so don't tell anyone!) but hit the colors in full swing.  Hundreds of hikes,  fresh blueberry pancakes,  ME pizza and good company make this trip one we will be doing for a lifetime.  Mom Dad and the twinies came this year and it made it that much better!

Westley had all his fantasies come true when we took him down for a train ride in Connecticut,  the same one they used for the new Indiana Jones movie by the way.  His only gripe was not getting him there fast enough.  Nolan continues to amaze us with his sleeping abilities,  who knew a 100 year old train with whistles, steam engine and sqeaky everything was so soporific.  

Every October we never miss the opportunity to see the fall foliage and the wacky regulars at the salem MA halloween gathering.  A definite don't miss is the mad popper kettle corn.  This year we hit the festivities with M, S and K and our good friends the P's.  A great time for all
