The title says it all. I made this short video so that we can get a better perspective on his point of view now that he is mobile.

Thanksgiving
The Alliance spent Thanksgiving with Marc, Lina, Annie, Louis and Pascal. The meal was amazing! It may have been the best Thanksgiving meal I (Jessica) ever had. Marc outdid himself with with a deliciously moist turkey, Annie's stuffing brought me home, Evan made his olive oil rolls that never disappoint, Lina wowed us with a chocolate carmel tart, and I impressed myself with a buttery galette. The table was set so beautifully to boot!
Oscar celebrated his first Thanksgiving. He was in such good spirits all day as we cooked, watched the Packers win and just lazed around the house.
At dinner he ate nearly everything we ate. I think turkey and mashed potatoes were his favorite.
After dinner Marc took a nap to prepare for a long evening with Pascal and Louis. While Evan, Annie, Lina and I played a game of hearts. Annie is a card shark-who knew? I guess we know where Lina gets her competitive spirit.
The house was filled with laughter and warmth and much love. I couldn't have asked for a better Thanksgiving. I am so grateful for my family and my good friends.
I am not sure how the Gefurstamillers pulled it off while juggling Louis and Pascal. Nice work parents and Grandma!
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. Three years ago it became even more special, when on the eve, Evan asked me to marry him and we chose to spend our lives together in Marc and Lina's home. Spending Thanksgiving there each year since has been very special to us.

Snow Day!
The first big snows have hit the Cascades so we decided it was time for Oscar to have his first play in the snow. We went with Kate, Christopher, Edit, and Betty and Cosmo. The weather was great and I think Oscar loved the snow.

Grandma visits Seattle
We had a great visit from Grandma this past weekend. She was charmed by Oscar's personality. Oscar has grown and developed quite a bit since July when we visited her in Wisconsin. He went from crying everytime she held him in July to smiling and giving kisses during this visit. He learned how to take books off of the shelves this weekend. Better than that he learned a few new things from Grandma, like the humpty dumpty rhyme and how to turn pages in a book. Here is a small collection of photos from the weekend. Thanks for a great visit Grandma!

Halloween
The alliance was out in full force this Halloween weekend. We attended a baby Halloween party with Oscar. And, we even got a baby sitter and went out to a great adult party hosted by our friends Tricia and David.
