Play time

Caden's new favorite word is hat.

"OY VEY IZ MIR"


"I got an interview with Perry White down at the Daily Planet."

Holiday at the Newmans

We went up to Greg and Debbie's for a holiday dinner. It was like a vacation getaway. Fine food and many laughs.

As we sat to enjoy dinner, Caden decided to call for take out.

Iron Bladder Lee suffered a blow out and it turns out we didn't have any spare trousers...so we went leg warmers...poor lil guy.

Chillin' by the fire with Miss Deb and Latte.

Never too early for Hall Hockey

This reminds me of my lacrosse days back at SDSU. Caden was no match for Charlie's strong wrist in the faceoff.


Hip Check!


Charlie showing off on the breakaway.

Early Christmas with Family Lee

Terry, Sonia and lil Charlie came down for an early Christmas celebration. We all gathered in Coronado for some food and frolicking. Caden and Charlie hadn't seen each other in awhile, so we were anxious to get the cousins together.


Ben showed off the missing tooth that Caden knocked out at Thanksgiving...by dropping a plastic jack-in-the-box not with fisticuffs


Caden proceeded to throw a tantrum as we all sat for dinner, so we diverted his attention with an early present.


And we took some time for the standard family portraits...

Overnight with Granny and Grandad

Gayle and I went up to Newport Beach for the annual Crestline Party. Caden got to play and play in Coronado. Looks like everyone had some fun.

Thanksgiving

For some reason we weren't feeling too snappy this Thanksgiving. We barely even pulled out the camera. I guess we were just wrapped up in conversation and good eats.

No Play Today

Nose stuffed, mouth open, tongue out, slight fever, too darn pooped to move. You have to wonder what goes through the 19 month old mind the first time you get wiped out being sick. Poor lil buckeroo.

Happy Halloween

After a long Wednesday of chasing women and drinking rum, our little pirate came home with the sniffles. We had to keep Caden out of school Friday. We did let him run around the ranch Saturday in costume. He didn't find any treasure.

Early Halloween

The school decided to do halloween on Weds. So we took our lil pirate down.

Sit boy sit

Well well...one week into proper schooling and we've already seen results in two disinct areas. Caden is quite happy to sit. To date we've had to measure his attention span in nanoseconds. Now, he can sit for actual seconds at a time.

The second area of progress? He came home with the sniffles day four. Par for the course.

Jundt Baby Shower

Cousins Kyle and Karina are due with twins...yikes. The Bay Area Jundt clan came down for a family baby shower. Reminded me of so many Thanksgivings and Christmas Eve's of years gone by. Except there were margaritas...
