thanksgiving weekend...and a momentous occasion

I needed a break. It was nice.

Me & C after the turkey day 5k. My whole family did it.

C's new beanie.

The momentous occasion...C's first Hot wheel.

Don't call it a comeback.

I've been here for years. I first heard that song in second grade playing soccer at lunch recess. A bunch of truant teenagers were blazing past my elementary school, and LL was in. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch it here.

It has been a while. We haven't had the internet since we moved into our new place. But, after a serious exercise in futility and Dante's ninth circle of Comcast customer service, we've rejoined the 21st century.

Here are some recent pictures:
I was being a good sport, and we were attending the AK^2 halloween party. Rockin' scones.

Mr. Brown sporting a fine 'do.

Chels kept telling me that she wanted a vacation, so I took her on a tour de chicken finger. From left to right, Home (just salted, Salt Lake), Italy, China (ginger), New Mexico (chile lime) with a pit stop at Paula Deen's house for some mac n' cheese. I actually can't stand that woman, but I'd eat her mac n' cheese.

Chels started a little boutique www.feltedcrown.etsy.com

Mr. Brown and I at the hospital (11:30pm w/ a 105 F fever. We left at 6:30am. It was positively miserable.)

Cool tree in our front yard. Happy little dude.

My favorite to date. The kid loves being airborne.

School is generally good. Charlie is awesome.
