Always Welcome!

I’ve got a lot to tell you, again, because I’ve been so busy. A huge deadline approaches on the 10th, and I only recently got into good enough shape with the project to be able to write about the latest happenings. The good news is that I wrote about 5 entries, and will be doling them out over the next week, so check back often!

On October 26th Grampa Dave and Gramma Marcia dropped by to get a look at their grandson again and see how he’d grown. And boy has he! Here we discover that he’s as tall upside-down. See this image larger.

They got us this cool book that is hollowed out for candy, and a witch voice chimes in with a comment when you lift the cover. Ian experiments with it here, wondering where the voice is coming from. See this image larger.

This is a combination of two different images that were fairly close in composition. I love all the smiles together, couldn’t help myself! See this image larger.

This is a photo of our new band, “Wall of Noise.” That’s Daran “the shaker” Chapman on maracas and Ian “mad skillz” Chapman on the drums. See this image larger.

We invented a game where the ball keeps going back and forth on the curved surfaces of the mats. I think Gpa Dave probably came up with that, I’m guessing. See this image larger.

Ian impressed Gpa Dave with such words as “skwaar” and “courcull” for square and circle. See this image larger.

If Ian looks happy to say good-bye here it is only because Da and Ma asked Gpa Dave and Gma Marcia to please return in a week on Da’s birthday, and they agreed! See this image larger.

Another note about this visit that was hilarious. Ian pulled his blanket comfortably onto a reclining Ma, and patted the blanket reassuringly… “Night, night” he said. So funny!
