Northern Trails


Jensen and I went to my sister's house to carve pumpkins.



The whole gang.



I don't know.


Jensen on one of the bunks of the Mayflower. I have since burned those clothes...



Jensen and Grandma Chrissie in front of the Mayflower in Plymouth MA.


After the Mayflower we went to Plymouth Plantation to "experience" life in the colony. Jensen found a homemade basket.




Some of the ladies from 1620. Don't worry, they wash their clothes once a month- I asked.



It looks like a cute place to eat, but if you're heading to Plymouth, you needn't bother. Though I like this lobster.


We saw Paul Revere's house in Boston



Jensen was so good through the whole trip.


Jence is starting to understand the need for Halloween.



The two of us at Niagara Falls.




Jensen as Yoda on the Canadian strip at Niagara. I wondered what the Pilgrims would say about the area- it's so gaudy.



We went whale watching in Cape Cod. We saw tons of them, it was really fun...and chilly...and wet...



Jence bundled up for his ocean adventure.



I decided to go ahead and feed him some cereal before bed because he had been waking me 3 and 4 times a night to eat- I was getting a liiiittle beat. This is his "first" feeding, ( really only a ceremonial first- he's already had chocolate, ice cream, cream cheese, bread, pretzel, and who knows what else thanks to grandma and his aunts.)we had no trouble with the spoon, by the end he was bouncing up and down and lounging at the spoon and the cup.

And soon he wanted to do it himself. I fear it's the beginning of the end.


This is the second time. We were old pros.

Kentucky


Grandma, Jence, Kiki and I took a trip to Kentucky. Kiki got tired of her seat on top of the cooler.



We went to the Art Fair in Louisville. The picture was supposed to illustrate how bored Jence looked, thus reassuring dad and grandpa Ron that living with so many girls is having no adverse affect on his manhood- but he smiled for the camera.



Jence enjoys a little kangaroo ride. We both love the pouch method of "pleeeeease don't put me down!" time.


I couldn't resist...



Daddy sent flowers for Momma's birthday.





Apparently they tasted delicious.



Uncle Terry gave Jensen a burp cloth turban, which he modeled for Grandpa.

Fun in Ohio

Aunts Becky and Tia got Jensen a jumper that he loves...though I'm worried that it might be teaching him to hit rather than jump because the lights and sounds go off when he does either, and he seems to prefer the former...



Momma and Jence on the tramp in Gramps' backyard.


Just chillin' like a big boy.




Bless you!


Finger chewing, a old favorite.


Gramps put a yellow ribbon out front of the house for Alex.
