However, despite the chill and the torrential rain we had throughout November, there’s not a flake of snow to be seen. I’m still holding out hope for some semblance of a white Christmas but I doubt we’ll have much and almost certainly it’ll be nothing like last year!

Also, going thru these pictures I came across this video of Joel reading. It doesn’t seem like he changes that much from day to day anymore, but looking back it’s pretty remarkable (insert some “they grow up so fast” platitude here). I think he was fighting a cold or was all stuffed up from being outside or something. The result is even that much more adorable.

Awesomely hilarious video of Joel giving Uncle Jason the runaround thru the hallways of my office. Taken on my birthday I think, Dec 2008.

Much like one of those cooking shows, Joel wants to show you how it’s done so you can make them too! Check it out:

PS> If there were an award for some kind of simultaneous single-handed-toddler-wrangling / video-taping / baked-goods-making sport, Sarah would totally win.

Here’s the recipe if you want to try this at home! Sarah points out that one of the best things about this particular recipe is that the muffins are completely edible whether or not they’ve made it to the oven.

Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins

1 box chocolate cake mix (dry)
1 small can pumpkin
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tbsp cocoa powder

Mix well and bake according to box

Here’s a bullet style list of what’s happened since then (which should get us back up to speed).

  • We spent Christmas in Montana with Gpa & Gma B
  • We moved from Tacoma to Seattle (Ballard to be precise)
  • Joel learned his ABCs
  • We rebuilt our garage
  • Back to MT, where Gpa B took us for a boat ride
  • Two words: “Oh shoot”
  • Joel disgused himself as a giraffe
  • Pumkin patch pillaging galore

Last, but certainly not least, we learned that Joel will soon have a little brother! That’s right, we’re expecting again, and another boy at that. While of course we would have been overjoyed either way I must admit I’m glad that we’re having another boy. I know what a blessing it was for me to grow up with brothers and am glad that Joel will have the same opportunity. As for child the third… well we’re just taking it one step at a time.
