.dear duck fan.

it doesn't hurt my feelings that you don't want the beavers to win. it makes sense to me that you'd rather any other team go to the rose bowl but us. i understand your frustration when someone who is..well..for lack of better words not as big of fans as you and i and says something ridicules like "i just want to see an Oregon team go to the rose bowl" i know that fire in your tummy and that knot in your throat when you hear that and how you absolutely don't agree. i understand. i appreciate your dedication to your team. and i know you appreciate the dedication i have for mine because i feel the same way about YOUR DUCKS... GO BEAVS!!!

.thanksgiving...was....rough.

we flew to san fran to visit brian's mom for thanksgiving monday night. brody who was exhausted didnt sleep at all on the flight but instead started the terrible twos early.. and screamed the entire decent! sweet. then he caught the flu wednesday night. then i caught the flu friday. then brian got it saturday prior to our departure. we left sue's house all the germs (and a horrible mess...sorry sue)This year we are thankful for our health!

BUT..we did make it to the aquarium before all the puking began (it started on othe car ride home)...

.over the last few days.

.brian was laying on the living room floor. brody walked over to him. brody sat down and started rubbing brian's back.

.brody went over to a kitchen drawer. picked out a plastic baggie and put the rest of his banana in it. and then set it on the table.

.brody went over to the diaper drawer. picked out a diaper and brought it to brian. brody had pooped. (even better that it was brian..haha..i taught him that!).

.loungin around.

.blowing leaves at grandmas.

.brody's beanie.
