Pictures as Promised

William catching a nap before the big trip to America.


The plane to take us to America.


On the plane to America.


When in America, do as Americans do - eating fries.


Playing with blocks.


Playing with this thing.


Showing William how big boys sit on the potty. (Big boys don't actually use the potty but they sit there.)


Snack time. This is about the time when Marcus started to find William fun. Marcus started mimicking everything that William would do. Much of snack time involved Marcus and William making that stereotypical American Indian sound. Then William decided to do that ear piercing fabulous scream that he does and Marcus tried to outdo him. That was fun too...


Hopkin Blue Frog and William.


Grammy bought the kids some really great coming home presents. This one was to commemorate William's first Thanksgiving. Thank you so much!


Playing go go cars.


Hanging out with/on Mommy.


Playing "Row row" together.



Checking out the backyard.



Trains are cool too.


All that playing made the kids tired. It was time for story time before nap. This was a bit of a challenge but doable. Marcus knows to sit back, leave the book alone, and let me read. William doesn't know this. I spent story time with my hand out as far as I could reach so William couldn't steal the book and trying to convince Marcus that just because William was coming after the book didn't mean it was okay for Marcus to come after it too.


Thanksgiving dinner arrived during nap and it was ready to go for our 3:00 meal. Thank you my fabulous friends!

The spread.

Marcus enjoying much more of the fixins' this year than he did last year.


Burning off that big meal with more playing.
