A T-riffic Time!

Thursday, on a whim, we went to the Natural History (of dinosaurs) Museum in Washington D.C.

We saw lots of dinosaurs

and some mammals, too!

T-Day 2007!

For Thanksgiving we visited our friends in Washington D.C.

Adeline and I walked to the park while the food was cooking.

We played in the sandbox.

I also played a little football with Theo, a boy I met at the park.

Finally, it was time for dinner.

I was really hungry!

This is Adeline's daddy, Paul, and the turkey he made for us.

(It was yummy!)
After lots of gobble, gobbling we played babies, backpacks and purses!

At the end of the day, it was good to take a nice bath.

We spent the night with our friends and went to the zoo the next day.

It was a little chilly, but we had fun looking at some animals.
I really loved the Pandas!

I had a great Thanksgiving and I hope that you did too!

My New Backyard

Oh Say Can You Sea!

For Mom's birthday, we drove to Ocean City, MD.

It was cold!

It was my first time seeing the Atlantic.

It was also the first time that I saw a car quite like this!

The boardwalk looks like it could be a lot of fun...

in the summer!

I am excited to come back here when it is warm!

I have to say that I 'dug right in' on my first day in Maryland!

I went straight for Dad's clubs and found a good spot in the front yard

to start practicing my golf swing.

That lasted about 5 minutes, so I moved on to a bike ride in the drive

followed by a kick of the ball in the backyard

Soon enough, my dear friend Adeline arrived

(whom I had never met in person) and we had a great time!

I think she is a fabulous girl and fun to play with too!

Backblogged: part one - Minnesota

Where do I begin?!?

Let me try to catch you up on all the goings on since I last wrote!

As you know, we have moved to Cambridge, Maryland, but...
Before we could leave the midwest, we had lots to do!

Of course we packed and cleaned, but we also...

met our friends, the Whitesides, at the Children's Museum for some play time.

Zachary and I played golf,

and rocked out.
Mom, Kai and I spent a couple of days in Wisconsin before we left. (Dad was busy driving a big truck with all of our stuff across the country!)

I got to hang out with my family.

This is my cousin Kyle and I working on our fruit juice campaign!

We flew in this plane from Eau Claire, WI to Minneapolis, then on to Washington D.C.

They all came to the airport to see us off! (I love you guys!)

Thanks to everyone who helped us with our move! I miss you all already!

Jumpin' Jack 'o Lanterns!

First, you have to get the perfect pumpkin.

(Grandma and Grandpa Aasen picked this one out!)

Once you cut off the top, you have to take out the seeds and pulp.

You can use a tool, or ... just dig right in!

"Ewww!"

This part is the most work!

Once the inside is all clean, you can carve a face.

(If you are little, like me, it is probably best to have someone help you! -Thanks Dad!)

Finally, you have a perfect Halloween friend!

Puzzling Advice

Okay, when you are putting together a puzzle like this one

(It has twenty four pieces!)

I like to recommend starting with your favorite character.

I usually begin with Grover (sometimes Zoe),

then assemble the friend that is near them.

Before you know it, you can say...

"Yeah! I did it!"

Rock Star!

Is There a Doctor in the House?

Maybe!

I like to use my stethoscope to take care of all of my buddies!

Yep! They are all healthy!
