The Rest of the Trip.

We got a chance to play with Nana (and Papa)...

...see some good friends...

...work on our general cuteness...

and see some lovely Christmas lights.

Thanks for hosting us, PC! :)

Hueston and Dada.

Looks like H might just be inheriting his mama's cheesy smile.

The Beach!

Lovely afternoon with the family at the county pier.

I have no idea why, but this is one of H's favorite things to do.

Pretty sure H was saying "Go ocean!" and not paying any attention to the camera.

The process of getting down from the pier to the beach was lots of fun.

Sand!

Toes!

Cold!

There was lots of running - Part 1. Part 2. 

E & H had a great time.

I still have no idea what H meant here.

ThanksMas 2011.

We had a lovely trip to visit family at the beginning of December.

The adventure began in the airport.

H enjoys a little light reading in his very own window seat.

Introducing Papa to the epic tale of George and the chocolates.

Baby V is really excited about his jumper.

H has a newfound love of cars. Thanks for sharing, E!

Uncle Matt constructed a super cool racing ramp.

E helped us all understand the finer points of yard baseball.

It was an action-packed afternoon.

Everyone took their turn on the guitar.

On Sunday, we took the boys to Bethlehem Morning at St. Andrew.

E & H made stars in the carpenter shop, but they were a little less sure

about dressing up. This is H's attempt at a shepherd's costume,

minus the staff.

We found a great room where the boys could play.

The barnyard was pretty exciting...

...especially since it was inside the playground.

H also accompanied himself on the dustpan before breakfast.

Later that afternoon, we went to the beach - but that's

a subject for another post. Enjoy the videos!

Two-Point-Five.

Christmas morning.

Most every day.

Hueston singing the ABC song and accompanying himself on the piano.
And applauding himself. :)

Boys and their guitars.

The biggest slide so far - part one (updated 11/25) and part two.

Hueston reading his favorite book.

During our Fall Festival early preview, Hueston showed his brute strength.

Starts as the ABC song and progresses. :)

New Tradition.

Hueston and David have started taking walks together frequently.
One day, David took along his trusty video camera.
This was the result.
Oh, and the reason you hear music and not Hueston's voice is that the mic was unplugged - hence, no audio. Technology...

• I celebrated my 2.333 birthday by climbing the ladder to the slide in my backyard all by myself. Today I went down a slide at the park that was higher than my house, and then I climbed the ladder to the slide at Grandma and PaPa's house all by myself!

Two videos.

A walk with Dada, and a new kind of hat.

Catching Up a Bit.

Our ever-expanding straw collection of drums and cymbals.

Inspecting the sprinkler.

Who knew a mechanic's tool set was so cool?

"Sleepy!"

Two apples up on top.

Smiley boy.

The highlight of a trip to the grocery store.

Funny face.

Dada's shoes.

Best pajamas ever.

"H - Hueston! Let's sing a song about you!"

This noodle is pretty hilarious.

I love blueberries.

Could I BE any cuter?

Up to no good.
