Its Supposed to Make This Much Smoke

Hey Lorrie, your post reminded me of the time that Pete would run the boat with the water hose attached. I always wondered if this was "normal" but Pete said it was, cause the manual said so....

Now we know this was money burning inside the tailpipe.

Birthday WishList

A lot of people have been asking what to get for my birthday and I can only think of a couple of things:

1) A tunnel - I put one on the wishlist with some other things that I would like to play with
2) Clothes - size 18 months, I know, I'm a little round in the middle so I don't fit the usual "1 year" old sizes. Sweatshirts or winter stuff I need.
3) Books, even used ones I can tear the pages out of
4) Gift Cards from WalMart or Target which are my favorite stores, if your not talking Home Improvement, in which case Lowes gift cards in excess of $100 are welcome

We can't wait for everyone to come to my party. Mom and dad have been busy de-decorating the house and painting all the walls white for everyone to see. Here is a link to my wishlist if you cannot find it on the sidebar on the right.

My Wishlist

Smile

Here are some photos we took recently. We got some new office furniture and here is Hudson doing some quality testing.

We went to Octoberfest here in town and guess who likes bratwurst and sauerkraut.

Like most kids, Hudson likes tunnels.

Dad got to go to Boston on day trip. Here are some photos he took.

Haavud Sqair

The Freedom Trail, 2 1/2 miles of red brick paved history.

Where folks from the Boston Massacre are buried, and other famous Constitution signers.

Here is Sam Adams, famous Beer Maker

Paul Revere, famous horse rider.

John Hancock, famous handwriter.

Paul Revere's Crib

One hoof up means died of wounds sustained in battle. I have no idea how Paul Revere died but the horse must have been pretty courageous.

Old State House, evidently Paul Revere covered the original dome in copper since this was his trade and I guess because he was already in the area.

Some Jewish kids stealing pennies out of a fountain.

This is the church where Revere hung the lamps to warn the British were coming, the Old North Church.

The USS Consitution, Paul Revere also provided the copper for this boat.

Bunker Hill, closed for tuck pointing.

Boston Fire House

Hot Wing Sauce

Hudson and I went to the zoo again, now that he is feeling better and it wasn't raining. I wanted him to actually enjoy the weather before we are locked in the house by winter storms.

Here's Hudson on a Gorilla, with a little offstage assistance.

Hudson loves the stairs, loves to go "up" and through things, so this tunnel was perfect.

Here we are in the Anteater Trail. This is where he feels most comfortable, firmly attached to daddy's side.

We met Jason and Shelly at the Zoo. We had fun and went to eat french fries and hot wings at Pat's next door to the Turtle Park.

This fell off my car on the way home, if you can identify it, please let me know what it is and if its important. Hint: I think it has something to do with the exhaust, and perhaps something to do with when dad dinged it with a hammer back in 1999.

Hudson art....I call this one Spaghetti, but by popular demand, its been renamed Hot Wing Sauce.

Hudsons 1 Year (Almost) Photos

For some reason, Hudson likes to stick his tongue out during professional pictures. He never does it at home despite the camera being in his face all the time. As you can see, some we managed to get "tongueless".

Meanwhile, we finally found office furniture, should be here Friday, so dad has been busy painting the office and bedroom. The other painter came and finished out the work on the rest of the house, specifically the hearth room ceiling so thats now something we can work on decorating.
