With the holidays a blur behind us, I have now (finally) taken the time to post the December month in review slide show. It being February, I should probably put together and post the January slide show, and also take down my Christmas lights. There's always something to do. :)
Enjoy the show!

Turning Pages
Korie and Inen were reading The Monster at the End of this Book.
For those who are not familiar with it, the premise of the book is that there is a monster at the end, and Grover is doing everything he can to keep the reader from turning pages so that they will not reach the monster.
Reading along to Grover's desperate pleas not to turn the page, Inen suddenly yells, "Turn it!"

Month in Review: November 2009
Once again, this has been a month during which I was too busy to post. *Sigh* Well, at least y'all get to see the monthly slide show. Yay!
During this last month my parents finally closed a sale on their house and found one to move into here in town. They were in temporary lodging for a week, and on November 23 – the Monday before Thanksgiving – the movers brought everything to their new home. Hooray! Insane as it may seem, my mom insisted on hosting Thanksgiving at their new house, to break it in and make it feel like home. So after a whirlwind 3 days of unpacking, the house was ready to receive two families – 13 adults and 2 small children – for Thanksgiving dinner. It was great! Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera to the occasion, so I'll have to get some photos from my folks. But there's plenty of November goodness to feast your eyes on in this slide show, including some from the November 1 Turkey Feast at the home of our friends, Brad and Liz. Enjoy!

Month in Review: October 2009
Another month has rolled by, and so much has happened. (You know there's a lot going on when I don't post anything about it, because there's no time.) Korie and I had our third anniversary. Inen has taken his first steps and is now walking. (Watch out!) We cooked for the Art Retreat again and spent some good time in Newport. My parents sold their house and bought one out here. (Praise Jesus!) And instead of posting these things to the blog I have been reading.
Brandon's sanity: 1. Brandon's blog: 0.
Oh well. At least you get to see the pictures now, right?

Month in Review: September 2009
It's time again for another slide show of the last month's goings-on. Can you believe Inen is 13 months already? Wow.
I hope y'all enjoy the slide show below. Check out the captions (as if I need to tell you). When you get to the end, take a good look at the last picture, and see if you can come up with a good caption for it. If so, leave your idea in the comments section below.
Have a good October, and enjoy the pictures!

Inen's first Trip to the Zoo!
Today (Monday, Sept. 14) Korie and I took Inen on his first trip to the zoo. This milestone trip in a child's life was all the fun and excitement we could have hoped for, with perfect weather to boot! Thank You, God, for the great weather; and thank you, Oregon Zoo, for the great wildlife experience with our son.
Some experiences of note:
When we were looking at the leopard, Korie was telling Inen what it was and he said "leopard" right back!
At the lorikeet aviary, Inen enjoyed the colorful birds, particularly as they landed on Korie's head while she was holding him (twice). This was my personal favorite part of the trip. No family members were pooped on at this exhibit.
Inen got to see pygmy goats butting heads:
We also got to see the new lion exhibit...
... where Inen made his own lion face...
... and did a lion deed of daring:
After having lunch and seeing a number of other animals, we got to see one of the elephants before Inen finally tuckered out from all the excitement.
He just missed seeing Samudra, the baby elephant born right around the same time he was.
Korie and I saw bears, primates, native northwest critters, and a few other animals before the day was out.
Inen had a good long nap after several hours of animal antics, and we all had a very fun day!
