Happy Thanksgiving!

It's a wonderful day in Missouri. I'm listening to an audio track of my late Grandpa and Grandma Geiser from 1985 - thanks to my Uncle Charlie. It is good to hear the voices of my grandparents again. It's been a few years, but your ears still immediately recognize the tone, the cadence, and the sound of those you love. May your day be filled with those sounds today.

I am thankful for my family, past, present and future. God has been good and it's good to know that He'll always be good. His blessings to you today. Happy Thanksgiving!

Delay in Posting

Sorry for the delay, but life hasn't given us any really good photo opportunities lately...

Lots of running to and fro with no really time to stop to take a pic of the kids or really do too much that's a lot of fun. But, Thanksgiving's coming and we'll try to get some updates here soon.

Thanks for thinking of us!

Do you ever need a laugh?

One Saturday Night Live parody commercial has always made me laugh. This is where Taco Bell is heading...

POST #100 - Family Pics Courtesy of Robin!

It's great to have wonderful friends who will let you crash with a baby in their apartment for a week. It's even better when those same friends will bring their wonderful photography skills with them to Missouri to take some photos of your family! Thanks to Robin Blair for taking the time to take some shots of our little family during an already busy weekend in Missouri! Robin, you're the best and we love you so much!

Oh, and celebrate with us a bit. This is post #100 for us. In that time, we've gone from a family of 4 to a family of 5! We've had all sorts of adventures and you've been there with us! Thanks for checking up on us!

The Return of the Turtle and Butterfly Fairy

Followers of this blog know that we cheated this year for Halloween... Yes, we used Tatum's turtle costume from the Lion, the Witch and Wardrobe days... AND, yes, we used Greta's dance outfit retrofitted with butterfly wings to make her costume. But, hey! I bet both of these outfits each cost the Geiser clan more than average Halloween costume in the USA. (Sorry, that's the accountant/cheapskate coming out in me).

We all headed around the neighborhood collecting the candy everywhere we went. Then, we headed to Christ's Church of Oronogo to hang out with the cousins. The girls had a great time and filled their bags to overflowing. We had a great Halloween. Come on over for candy, we have bunches!

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

These pictures are all from Halloween. Our little lion really is sleeping as I write this blog, but the title of the post is due to the first picture. After a hard day of acting out his part as a lion, AJ was worn out on the way home from trick or treating... I had removed his costume because it was so stinkin' warm here that night, but the kid needed something to sleep with and his costume was just cuddly enough to foot the bill.

The remaining pics show AJ at his best... stuffing various objects in his mouth, looking cute and also his ability to look ever-so-stylin' with mama's huge sunglasses. We call it his "Elton John" look or his "pimp" look. Can I even say that? My apologies to all offended parties for various reasons there. Don't worry, this won't become a trend with my boy. We quickly got him back to playing with a football and eating a lot of red meat! ;)

More pics of our turtle and butterfly princess coming shortly....
