Just your average, restful weekend with Franklin...

But seriously, who wouldn't want to spend a long weekend with that guy?
(Pictured there in the hat Emily made & the scarf I made!)
(Sounders colors, by the way, at Franklin's request...)

So, okay, Wednesday before Thanksgiving it was volleyball, UW vs. Stanford:


Souvenirs too:



Thanks for suggesting it, Pete!

Back home, we were all about the pumpkin pie:

Butternut squash to be specific, but pumpkin's pumpkin, right?








He was so into it he ate it for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving. Rightly so!



Small party, but it was great to spend the holiday with family & friends:


And I'm also grateful that we had the chance to talk on Skype with even more family (not pictured, alas).



This video was actually from a few days before the holiday, but what the heck, I'll include it here too:


Rain came in on Friday, but luckily we found out that our local YMCA does a kids' gym setup most days. Awesome:








Saturday, at long last, we took Franklin to see his first movie:

He loved the popcorn and pink lemonade. And did laugh a couple times at the movie (including that bit in that trailer with the crunchy snacks...).

Sunday we got our tree:


I worked on the scarf pictured up top:


We finished the leftovers:

And then, finally, we relaxed... and got ready for Monday. Well, there you have it. More soon!
