“I’m sorry to hear that Kermit, it is actually pretty easy being orange.” (This is from the 27th and should have been in last entry, technically.) See this image larger.
The evening of the 28th… “If only there was something fun to do…” See this image larger.
My friend and nephew Connor and I pose for the camera to show how hip we are. We’re also pretty sure we’re looking tough with that pink and purple background going on. 😉 See this image larger.
Photoshoot and more fun from the evening of the 28th coming in Part IV!

More stories, more stuff!!! November 27th, 2008! GOOOOO!
“I hear reindeer hooves… and… DID YOU HEAR JINGLING? YOU CHECK YOUR WINDOW!” See this image larger.
Ok so you’re probably wondering what this is all about. Kaylee has this toy, it is kind of like a really simplified tent… just two pieces of somewhat rigid fabric with flexible support pieces at each end. Kaylee and Ian hopped inside of this and began walking around like one of those two-man horse costumes. If you don’t think this is cute, wait for an entry or two and I’ll link you to some video guaranteed to make you smile. See this image larger.
While a lot of time was spent establishing which toy was whose this trip, it was awesome seeing these two work together the rest of the time. I can’t wait to get that video on here. See this image larger.
I don’t know if you noticed that shuffling around under that tent made for a little bit of static, did you, Ian? See this image larger.
This image is too easy, you guys can choose your own caption. If you can’t think of one try something involving the authorities like “OHIO DIAPER PATROL, NOBODY MOOOVE.” or something with a dance move like “WHYYYY (picture) SEEEE AYYYYY!” or even “Heeeeey Macarina!” See this image larger.
Here’s some other stories:
Ian slept in our room all three nights of our stay, and we were surprised to hear him blurt out words in his sleep in the middle of the night. “Hi Bob!” was on the first night. On the second night I suddenly heard BEEP BEEP! followed by the sounds of regular breathing. And on the last night he exclaimed “DOGGIE!” as if somebody had revealed one under a blanket or something. If only we could see into those dreams, I wonder how much fun we’d all have?
Connor has a fan in Ian, that’s unmistakable. During the trip Ian followed Connor around saying “Kunnur?” or “Kunnur! Kunnur!” depending on whether or not he was within sight.
Earlier in that week, just to note it, he went from saying “curcle” to “Diss izza curcle.” He also said a very hilarious “NoooOOOoooo” to Melissa when she asked if he was spitting out his water. If you could have seen the smile on his face during that response, his chin wet with freshly spit out water… it would be more amusing. Suffice to say that sarcasm has found its way into our child’s mind and I have no idea where it came from. Wink wink. 😉

On November 26th we drove on down to Ohio, with a car full of stuff and sleepy people. It was a fast trip this time, with little in the way of issues. (We’ll save those for the trip back to Michigan a few days after this entry…) Over our stay we had a great time, as usual, with lots of shopping, eating, and video games to be had.
First, let’s give thanks to Melanie for organizing, hospitality and preparing, and all the ladies for the cooking that went with said preparation!
Next let’s give thanks to life’s three big necessities, family, milk, and a smattering of toys! See this image larger.
“Go give Kaylee a kiss Ian, Kaylee give Ian a kiss…” And boom this happened. It was hilarious, and cute, but it did make me wonder where they’ve seen people kiss that nicely… arms in the right spots, heads tilted to avoid nose-bashing. Heck I don’t think I knew that until I was 15! See this image larger.
“You think I’m funny? I’m some kind of JOKE to you?” Ian has a “Goodfellas” moment. See this image larger.
And this one’s in here because sometimes the best pictures are a little out of focus. I think Ansel Adams said that. I’m kidding. See this image larger.
