Travis is the best (pseudo) uncle ever!  Thanks for Kaya’s new airplane – hold on tight!

We had a feast for Thanksgiving with all the usual nosh.  Our first extended family-less Thanksgiving (thanks to the UNC heme/onc department) was actually quite nice.  Travis and Tommy cooked all day and then a bunch of the other first year fellows and their significant others came for dinner.  The fried turkey was to die for.  Overall a great day!

Kaya may actually be better than me at playing the guitar.  She’s got a little while until she’s better than daddy though.  And too bad she keeps trying to eat the pick.

Thanksgivakkah is coming!

Never mind the predicted plummeting of temperatures overnight – we went camping!

Wouldn’t be my first choice for a pillow

Kaya’s best bud baby Trey is visiting from DC this week. In his honor, Kaya dressed to the nines in her “Single and Loving It” shirt but then refused to put on any pants. I tried to teach her the word “tease” but she just kept thinking I was saying cheese.

They are old enough now that they actually interact a little and it’s pretty cute. Not quite sharing, but playing together for sure.

I knew I’d find a use for our new sewing machine.

Sometimes Max and Kaya have a hard time figuring out who I’m speaking to, as I tend to use a similar tone of voice with the two of them.  Lately, this is what happens if I say “sit” sternly.
