New Car!

We traded the Jeep for this 2006 Toyota Sequoia with 18,000 miles.  The extended warranty on the Jeep was expiring soon, and in true American-car fashion, stuff was breaking left and right.  For peace-of-mind, we unloaded it.  Due to a pricing mistake on the part of the dealership, we got the Sequoia for a song. 

 

The best part is... it's not a minivan!

Happy Fall

Howie's Day at the Farm

We took Howie out to his first day at the farm with some friends of ours.  They had goats, chickens, and pheasants.  Howie played in a big feed trough filled with corn and enjoyed a hayride with lots of scarecrows.  We picked out pumpkins in the patch along the hayride. Of course, we had to get one of the biggest ones we (meaning Howie and I) could find.  I had him in some really cute overalls to look all farm-ish, but it was 80 degrees so he was lucky that the photos are not down to his diaper. 

School Dayz

Howie loves his teachers: Miss Sarah and Miss Abby.

Who Dey!

Go Bengals!

Eating in the Tub

We have eliminated the step of moving Howie from the kitchen to the bathroom after mealtime by feeding him IN the bathtub. For now, he doesn't know the difference. We'll move him to the table when a) he is eating steak or b) when he can keep the yummies in his mouth. Whichever comes first!

Howie Enjoys His Doggie

Thank you to Maggie and Jason for getting Howie one of his favorite toys!

Howie's first stroller walk and fire drill at school

These are pictures Howie's teacher (Miss Abby) gave to us. I think Howie enjoyed the stroller ride more than the fire drill. He reportedly held Cooper's hand during most of the walk.

Howie Does Miami U.

UC beats Miami 47-10, despite Howie's Miami spirit.

Howie's Mail

As many of you know, my brother is working for the Council of Economic Advisors to the President. As a result, we received this nice letter from GW.
