We got our first Christmas Tree this year and decorated our mantle with stocking to get Liam in the Christmas spirit before our big trip back to Indiana.

Grandma and Grandpa Gray came out to visit for Thanksgiving. We had quite a feast, several days of leftovers, and gorgeous weather. We took Liam to the Children’s Museum, and the Corvette Diner, where Liam had his first cheeseburger and loved his vanilla milkshake! It was a great time!

AIRPLANE!

We participated in the JDRF Walk this year in Balboa Park.

After the walk we decided to hit up the zoo for a couple hours of fun and got some good pics of Liam.

The above were from the walk and the rest are from the zoo.

This was my favorite sign that I’ve seen in a while, nothing like a lion “spray range” warning.  7-10 feet really?  Hate to have been the person that was the reason for this sign.

Grandma and Grandpa Roberts came to visit over Halloween weekend. We went to the Reuben H. Fleet Science Museum where Liam had fun with SCIENCE! On Halloween we carved pumpkins and went trick-or-treating with neighbor buddies Scott, Kara and Van. We had great weather and great times! Everyone LOVED Curious George and The Man in the Yellow Hat!

The Man in the Yellow Hat needed a drink after a long night of trick-or-treat with George :)

We had a great time this weekend with Jess’s friend Amy, her husband Greg and son Miles (14 months) They came down to visit for the family brewery Oktober Hess festival. We had great times with great beer and friends. The boys had a blast playing and running around together.

We took Liam to the pumpkin patch on Sunday, where he picked his own pumpkins and solved both the flower and stick maze at the farm – several times :)
