Little Turkey

We are thankful that we were not sleep deprived this Thanksgiving. Ben was brand new last year and all memories of that celebration are hazy at best.

This weekend was a good time of friends, pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes, walks watching the last of the leaves fall, staying cozy under covers and making total fools of ourselves just to hear Ben's laugh (hint- he loves fakes sneezes, show tunes with dancing, and playing "football" being tackled by his dad).

As requested, we have included a belly shot...it still doesn't seem real that there is another peanut on the way!

Lots of love from the thankful folks at Casa Watson.

Walk in the Woods

Our friends David & Judy are out visiting from Santa Barbara. Taking full advantage of the crisp fall weather, we took a hike in the hills near our house. Ben loved riding in the backpack and scooting down the trail. The setting was magical with fall turning the leaves into shades of orange, yellow and red. Our lives are blessed by the beauty of nature and it is wonderful to see the wonder of it all through Beemer's eyes.

Great Pumpkin

It was a fun Halloween night at Casa Watson. We had the Alfaro and Cannon families over for dinner and trick or treating. Ivy, Noah and Owen are Ben's favorite friends, all the kids were born weeks apart. Ben rocked his Charlie Brown costume, especially by the end of the evening when he was good and tired- he had the "Good Grief" expression perfected. The scariest part of the evening was realizing next Halloween we would have TWO trick or treaters!!
