Soon to be new nephew

For those of you who know my sister, you know that she has been going through a long adoption process in Russia. They just went back for the second time after Thanksgiving and have been granted custody! Read more on there blog here. They should be back just before Christmas. Legally, they can't post pictures yet .... so I suppose I shouldn't either. Will post when we see them come back.

Studs

Add your own comment, but it is a pretty funny photo of everyone trying to give a serious face. Thanks to everyone who emailed or sent photos. Thats all I got for now .....

I like to eat

Food is good. Food was good. I'm still full.

Thanksgiving went over really well. We hosted for the first time and everything went smooth. Cleaning the house and getting everything ready was a little tough, but we had sucess. I believe it was something like 15 people for dinner was 3 more for pie. We have a lot of leftovers ... I'm good for lunch for the week. Drove down to Iowa for our nieces birthday overnight on Friday and back up Saturday night. Today was football and downtown for the Nutcracker exhibt at Macys and dinner. No parade. Got too late, but good times. All in all I'd say I good weekend. Good to see lots of family. I'm ready for some regularity. 5 day weekends rule though.

At the homefront not much is new. I thing everyone knows this, but if you don't .... Megan and I are expecting our second child at the beginning of April. Pretty crazy. Other than taking care of Jacob, I've basically been working on the patio that i've managed to get a lot done on ... however it looks like some of it will be completed in the spring. A party will have to happen upon completion.

Greg and Jenny recently tied the knot. Wedding was a blast. Good to see a lot of peeps I haven't seen in a long time. Who has the pic they took of everyone?

Bobby scored some pretty sweet wolves tickets that I was lucky enough to get in on. Sitting close to courtside is money ... even if the team stinks right now. Big Al looks like a player. They could be good in a few years if McHale doesn't screw things up. Other sports .... Torii is gone and that sucks big time, but everyone knew the Twins wouldn't spend that kind of money. He will be missed. Rebuilding era begins now. How did the Vikings beat the Giants today?

Happy Halloween!

While this picture isn't the easiest to tell, Jacob spent his Halloween with cousins in South Dakota as a blueberry. The hat basically makes the costume, thanks to my godparents on that one. This picture was taken at the local paper in Yankton where they took pictures of kids throughout the day and posted them online. Check more out here.
