another visitor to look forward to this year at the Thanksgiving was my little bro, erik, from NY. it was so much fun having him here. he too loved it b/c we had warm weather and an endless supply of holiday food.

joseph w/ uncle erik sporting the same hairstyle.

what a 3-SOME!

the kids must have had erik jumping on this bridge for 15 minutes straight just so they could enjoy being bounced in the air. it was so much fun to watch.

the simple things in life... chill-axing on the swing together.

now i wish i had the camera out more when aunt jennifer was here but at least i got one. [jennifer made it back east from WA to visit us just prior to thanksgiving - so we actually had 2 thanksgiving dinners] you may be thinking what are they doing, watching a TV w/ a laptop in hand???? it just so happened that not only was joseph watching toy story 3 w/ aunt jennifer but w/ uncle markus as well. jennifer was on skype w/ markus (who is in Iraq right now) at the time so they were watching it all together. i thought it was a fun moment to capture.
