Happy Birthday Stillman

Its Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas!

"OHHH a village." I give the village 1 week before the little giant figures out how to destroy it.
One of the most magical parts of this Christmas: redecorating the tree every day!
Watch out, these teeth are razor sharp!

Come on dad, I've been waiting all year to put this up!!

Winter Wonderland

Stillman woke up to his first snow storm today! I took him outside and he was fascinated by the falling white specks. He tried to eat grab them, and eat them. It kept coming down so I wanted to take him out to go play in it. We don't have anything waterproof for him so... I constructed a snow suit out of a garbage bag. If any of you are looking for an inexpensive gift for the out door lover, I can give you the pattern. This is great for snow caving, cross country skiing, or building snow men. Love you!!

Occupying London

So I know I'm not as cute as Stillman. But here's a little snippet for you all.

Just me chilling with the protesters at St. Paul's. Occupy London? I think they need something a leetle more original. They did have a profusion of interesting posters and pamphlets. For myself, I was really digging Ronald McDonald telling kids that capitalism wouldn't be possible without the protection of the military. (insert me trying to figure this all out). Sorta thought that was the point of having it. To ensure the safety of citizens and their life, liberty and pursuit of commercial endeavors.



And finally, here is Celine being very excited after getting her newspaper autographed by masked protestors.





In other related news, thermal scans of the Occupy London site shows less than half of the tents containing occupants. And the Dean of St. Paul's has resigned following controversy regarding the cathedral's about-face attitude toward the protesters.

A Happy Happy Halloween. Stillman and I are still coming down off the sugar high. Life is not as much fun without candy. We sure missed all of you! And, if any of you are interested.... I can make costumes in all sizes. Harrison wore Stillmans hat for the rest of the evening passing out candy to the trick or treaters. He wasn't as cute as Stillman but, I love him just as much.

Sunday Best

The above picture is of Center street in the aftermath of Homecoming week. The town is filled with toilet paper. One tradition that probably should never have started. The others are of playing in the leaves right before church. Stillman Loves to crawl around in them. Not sure if its the noise they make or how they taste.

Cran Fest

This is only a fraction of his energy. woo wee.

Conference Weekend

Hey All! Sorry, I still can't get that last video to come up. Hopefully these pictures come through. We had a great conference, but it just wasn't the same as up at the cabin with all of you. As you can see Stillman listened to every word, when his dad was feeding him chocolate that is. I love this time of year, it is a time I am always so grateful to be a Smith. We love you all!
