Two guys totally sacked out in our bed. I think I'll go join them (or at least carry one back to his own bed so I can have my pillow back).
Einar in front of the Alaska Airlines plane that we flew home.
While waiting for Jared to pick us up at the Long Beach Airport after we returned from Seattle, a nice man offered to take our picture as we were sitting on the curb. We're even wearing festive colors.
Soren's Sock Monkey costume got some more use in Seattle as an extra warm layer.
Hanging out with Far Mor. Can you tell that Soren loves his grandparents?
Bundling up for some Northwest November weather instead of San Clemente sunshine.
Soren's first amoxycillin for an ear infection that came on while we were in Seattle. We brought the California Crud up with us and promptly got Grandma, Uncle Tor, Auntie Jess, Grandpa, and Jared sick and we are all still struggling to get back to normal. I am truly sorry for spreading this one around.
The four of us after a yummy dim sum lunch at the House of Hong in Seattle--an Ogle family trip to Seattle necessity.
Soren and Poppa goofing off together.
Having a Taco Time lunch with cousins Annie and Cyrus after a fabulous morning of swimming at the Mountlake Terrace swimming pool.
No pictures from today (don't worry, I'll post some from the past couple of weeks for your visual enjoyment). Today I forgot to put the memory card back into the camera when we left this morning and then again when I came home to get it, the water bottles, and a pb & j sandwich for Einar. However, Jared is right that we probably can survive a trip to Disneyland without a camera.
Today was the last Sunday that we could go during the holiday season before our blackout days. Even though we've had a pretty busy weekend and none of us are the picture of health (still trying to beat the crud) we went as a family and had a marvelous time. I have heard that when you are sick and have had a lot going on, it's a good idea to have some down time or things won't be so much fun, but there is always tomorrow, right? I have a feeling that we are raising a couple of party animals.
The place is all decorated for the holidays with lights, snow that falls in the evenings in front of It's a Small World, and even though we go frequently there is always some thing new for us to see and do. This afternoon we went to the Aladdin show in California Adventure. It's a Broadway style show and was great fun. Jared also convinced me to ride the Hollywood Tower of Terror too--you have to be 40inches to ride this thing, but there is NO way that Einar will be riding on it anytime soon! We saw parts of two parades and the fireworks and the Fantasmic show which is truly Fantastic. I'm not sure if I'll ever get Einar over to that Island to play again after seeing the super scary dragon appear on it's shore and all of the other scary stuff but it sure was cool.
Soren was also gnawing a bit more than normal these past couple of days and his fifth tooth appeared today! It's on his bottom left and has popped itself out of his gums. I hope that means that he will sleep well tonight.
