So Long FY11

Last week was a very busy week for us here in the Anders household. The end of the government's fiscal year means an absolute nightmare for Jace. After numerous 12-14 hour days the clock finally struck 12 on Fiscal Year 2011 and it's back to normal for Jace. It's chaos as usual in my neck of the woods. The Senate Appropriations Committee did quite the number on all the programs I manage so now our office is in non-stop "what if" drills.

Just woke up...no
boogers this time ;)
Easton is battling his first cough which just started yesterday. Hilarious (but not hilarious) moment this morning when he woke up coughing at 3am covered in boogers...the downside to sleeping on your face! He's slowly working on sitting up by himself...the ratio of crash-and-burn to success is about 10:1. Tomorrow is his third "every two week" weigh in. Jace and I both think he's filling out some more so we think we're continuing to make progress. Like always, keeping our fingers crossed that the scale has good news. Two weeks ago he was 14 lbs, 7 oz but in the 10th percentile...no problem, said our doctor, because he was gaining 27g/day (7 grams more than her daily goal for him).

Anywhoo...lots to do yet still this evening so I'll sign off for now and leave you with some seriously random photos. Sorry for the lame-o post today but, well, that's what happens when you have a lame-o week!
OK - so I'm not sure if you have all seen this or not
but check out Easton's weird little toe!
Mom may or may not have a weird toe on her right foot, too...

Working so hard to push up to the sky!

Attempt at a family photo...Rae was really stoked about it

Loves to grab our faces right now - Daddy's is more fun
with his weekend beard


Licking the left over apples from his face - yum

After my fiasco with crap @ss cookies two weeks ago,
I tried again today

Come to find out using all-purpose flour makes
much better cookies than whole wheat flour...hmmm

Chocolate chips and walnuts!

Jace and DK after their Bare Knuckles draft...
"Outlook Not Good"

Do NOT tell him this is just for fun...

Deck The Halls '13

Fa, la, la, la, laaa...la, la, la, la.  Christmas decorating came a bit early this year but we wanted to be adequately prepared for Uncle Jeff's arrival tomorrow -- and also, Easton is lovin' him some Christmas...and Santa...and talking about presents...which, in turn, allows us to talk about him being good for Santa and said presents. "No, Mom, I got this" I obviously got dressed up for the occasion...honestly, as long as the Christmas tree hat is on I could care less what I'm wearing. :) A quick little stroll down memory lane.  Love you, Gramie! E putting his "First Christmas" ornament up Just a little nostalgia -- this is the chair we did all his monthly shots in And a bonus shot (thanks for sticking around so long).  Little man's toe nail is no where to be found.  So strange. You're welcome, E. Love, Mom.

Trunk or Treat 2013

We just got back from Trunk or Treating at Easton's daycare...how flippin' fun (and pretty roarsome as Henry Hugglemonster would say). Mr. Blondie waiting for the trunk or treating to begin! Still figuring out that the chocolate must be unwrapped first. No hurry to explain :) Homeless Lion with a Market Basket bag. Score one for the parents. Some pretty creative pumpkins!

Little Slugger

Considering the World Series may come to a conclusion soon I figured I should get these photos up while baseball's still being played.  Though he's not throwin' from the mound with his left (yet) he is definitely a natural left-hand batter.  Daddy and Grapes are stoked.
