Wow. We apologize for the lack of posting... let us blame it on Mom's favorite camera dying on her. Lucky for us, Dad and Mom got a new one.

Anyway, we'll go alllll the way back to when Aidan was 2 days old. Aunty Cat took pictures of Aidan and we finally got our hands on it. Look and see what a cutie patootie Aidan was as a newborn.



Learning all about reflexes, tongue included.



Sleeping was my specialty as a newborn, still is though.



I love resting on Ma's hands or being around her.



Don't you feel content just looking at this picture?



Here's Eitan saying, "I'm a big brother!! But take pictures of me too!!!"

Now fast forward to our October fun. We pretty much spent the month whizzing around and barely got by. Halloween was short-lived due to the rain and Mom stealing all of the Halloween candies.



We all went to a pumpkin patch in Livermore on a school field trip. There were bunch of pumpkins- of all shapes and colors- as well as squashes and gourds. There were also animals for us to pet and feed. Finally, there was this old wooden maze and I loved playing in there as Mom and Aidan watched.



Here's me feeding a sheep. It then licked it's big disgusting tongue onto my hands...



"Eeeeew mom!! I don't want to feed it anymore!! Please take the cup." *shudders*



Mom told me to pick a pumpkin. You gotta be kidding me... which one?



"Okay how's this mom?" *I then tossed the pumpkin down and ran to a nearby playground. Ma ended up dragging that poor pumpkin around.



Here's me with my classmates on a tree. I think this picture is hilarious and hope it'll be a cherished photo in years to come when we all grow up together.



Here I am quietly soaking in the view and cooling off as well, it was almost 90s that day.



That's what Mom looked like most of the time, wearing Aidan as if he was a t-shirt.



I asked Mom to take a picture of me with my shoes. I insisted to wear them that way.

Now I'll give the floor to Aidan.



Here's me discovering reach and touch for an object. I've been having fun playing with Bee. I also have Taggy Elephant and Wacky Spider as my toys.



I also love to hold my foot.

Back to you Eitan:



As Aidan enjoys his discovery of reach and touch, I enjoy my privilege to play with Mom or Dad's laptop. I was playing an ABC game online.



Our hometown, Livermore, is quite a place. We all went to downtown where streets were closed off to cars and all kinds of costume worn kids, adults mingled. I went with Dad, Grandma, Poppie, Mally and Jahren (Mom was stuck at work). I got lots of tootsie rolls (they are my favorites!).

Here's a story of what I did with the tootsie roll. I told Daddy that I needed to go to the bathroom and I kicked him out. To my joy, Daddy respected my wish and I abused that privilege by sneaking in some tootsie rolls I snuck in my pockets. When Daddy checked on me, he was surprised to see me grinning like a caught fool when I had a tootsie in my mouth!!

My school had an event called the Barnyard Bash. We harvested pennies around campus to donate to deaf schools in other countries that are poor. Then we spent the remaining time at school watching a story telling and playing on the playground filled with farm fun.



Here's me painting my pumpkin. I was seriously into painting and Mom annoyed me by saying "hey Eitan! look at the camera, look at the camera!"



There was a table with that disgusting looking thing, it looked like puke, a lot of us avoided that table- but not Landen or Mom. It actually was made of soap chips, recycled newspaper, toilet paper, warm water and orange dye colors. Mom made me put my hands into it and I nearly freaked out.



Aidan sat back and soaked in the "view" of the Barnyard Bash.



Here's me with the headband thingy. Mom made me wear it because there is a picture of me wearing the same shirt and head thingy last year. She cannot find that picture now. Oh well. I look cute, don't I?



It was fun jumping around in the sack.



Everyday, without fail, I am the last person to leave school. I always love to help my teachers clean up the playground area.



Mom was sad that she missed out the Halloween fun and insisted we go trick or treating that Friday night. It rained but we had fun nonetheless. Especially me because I got candies and ultimately for Mom, she got to eat up 3/4 of my batch!

Now, I'll return the floor to Aidan:



I got to vote with Mom and it was a historical day.



Here's a happy me at 4 months old. I was thrilled with Aunty Cat's expressions. She makes me smile big, easily.



This tank is at our Grandparents. Eitan always make sure he feeds it or bug the poor fishies whenever we visit them.



See? Even that buggar brother of mine painted the tank. I think the fishes felt like they were in a blue lagoon.



Here's Grandma's doggy, Jazzy.



I got to visit Aunty Cat, a rarity these days and she, again, made me the happiest baby on the block.



My patented big grin.



I loveeee yooooooou Aunty Cat!



And I also love my Bee!



I've grown, I can sit in the Bumbo seat without help too.



And here's Zeus, Mom's cat.

Okay, back to you Eitan!


Mommy is so happy with the new camera and made us play around. She wanted us to do many things. It was dark in the house but she did amazingly well with the camera.



Daddy standing still as I ran around in circles... I look like a ghost!



Then Daddy ran around me, I couldn't stay still because I found it too much fun to do so. Daddy now looks like a ghost.



Then we went to the store to buy foods for Thanksgiving this Thursday at our home. I wore my new glasses the entire time we were in the store. Aidan happily stayed in his seat watching the world go by, with his Taggy Elephant of course.



Finally, we shall end the note with my silly photo and hope to come back sooner than expected.

Til then!
Eitan and Aidan

p.s. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
