Thanks Julie!

My good friend, Julie, made this and gave it to me for Christmas.
I love it. Thank you, Julie! You're awesome.

No Corncob Pipe

And no button nose, so I'm fairly sure he won't come to life, which is a good thing.
I have a funny story to tell you. Several weeks ago, my b-i-l needed to take some things to D.I.

We were going out with my sister and b-i-l that night, and he stopped by our house to pick us up. He tried to give me a clock designated for D.I. Nice, but I didn't want the clock. I took it in the house, and we left. After our "date," and they dropped us off, I said "Wait, I have something for you!" I ran inside and grabbed the clock, hid it behind my back and when I got to the car, I presented to them their "gift."

Just before I left on our trip, I took my sister a bag of caramel corn (have you tried that recipe yet? What are you waiting for?) and she gave me a little snowman filled with peppermint candies. She also had a nice box wrapped in pretty gold paper tied with a big bow. I adamantly told her she couldn't give me a present as we'd agreed we weren't exchanging gifts this year! She said, "Just open it!" so I did.

Inside the box was the CLOCK again! I nearly died laughing. It was so funny!

Then she said I should take this snowman home as the colors matched my house more than hers. I like the snowman. And I'm holding on to the clock. Who knows where it will show up next. Watch out you guys!

Don't Tell The Bad Guys

Yesterday's location- Florida, and Universal Studios. We're still on vacation. I hope someone is still watching our house (Parker? Wylie? Sister? Jenny? Johnny? Anyone?). Today's location...

Does the captain know Bud is steering the ship?
Here we are at dinner-
and here's a beautiful sunset-
from five years ago in the Caribbean (Jamaica).
It's actually Laura and Nick's honeymoon. Yes, we went with them (actually, they went with us). How many people can say they went with their child on their child's honeymoon?

Let's Play a Game

Try to guess where we are. It will be fun.
The clues will get easier as you see more pictures.
We thought we'd bring a pet home with us from our trip.
Okay, this is a big clue.
Look, Caleb, who's this?
And here's your favorite, Caleb!
Answer will be on the next post. See if you can guess before then.

P.S. It's a previous vacation.

Wish You Were Here

We're having a great time!

Everything is so beautiful...
Except...
...this isn't where we are. I'll give you just one guess where it is.

Mr. Cutie Pie

I hope this works. It's really cute.
