Often hailed as the least child-safe house in Massachusetts, we braved a week at Eben's dad's house for Thanksgiving. The kids ended up making it through the week without injury, but these stairs were still threatening - well, mostly the thin ropes serving as a barrier to falling off the platform into the living room below. The kids didn't seem to notice, though.
They slept in Uncle Dean's old room. Thanks so much to Auntie Carolyn for bringing over all the baby gear we needed for the whole week. We managed to travel without checking any bags - a near miracle.
Charlotte adored riding on this Thomas scooter at Dean & Carloyn's house Monday. We were able to spend a lot of quality time with our newest nephew, Drew, while there. Somehow I didn't get a picture~ drat!
Following in his father's footsteps, Edison was quickly drafted into service for Granddaddy David, a three-year-old can totally handle a leaf blower, right?!
Fortunately, Edison decided leaf blowing was not for him. Instead he tried to tie two scooters together with rope and tow Charlotte behind him. She escaped with minor bruises. Grandaddy had given the rope to Edison so he could continue to work on his "sheepshank knot" that he learned on the sailboat this summer.
The kids enjoying the rolls at dad's favorite Chinese restaurant, Fantasy Island. I've always wondered why a Chinese restaurant serves these Italian rolls with the meal, now I know.
In the kitchen - the calm before the Thanksgiving cooking begins.
My cousin Matt is now in grad school in Boston. It was awesome to see him. I actually kind of like the "Mo-Vember" mustache. We're hoping to convince him to come out skiing with us this winter - hope it works out!
