Time flies

It might surprise anyone who reads our blog that Reese is actually writing this entry. The first piece of business is to note that we've now got our web address (www.reeseandallison.com) pointed to this new site. Hopefully that means that our friends and family can more easily find us.

As one would expect, this site is all about Anderson, and our new little one we're expecting in April. We haven't decided whether or not to find out if it's a boy or a girl. On the one hand, it sure would be easier to plan/paint/buy clothes. However, on the other hand, we're tempted not to find out because when in life can you truly have a great surprise like this? Would the anticipation be invigorating or stressful?

Stay tuned for our decision, and maybe even the answer.

Playhouse Fun

Earlier this week we met with Anderson's friends at a Playhouse for some fun. There were loads of fun toys and structures to play with! Anderson loved the swing, train table, and play kitchen the best. He also took two rides on a car rollercoaster. The video below doesn't capture well enough the speed at which he was going as well as the hilarity of the ride. For some reason this had me laughing hysterically both in person and once I got home and downloaded the video.

Halloween

Anderson was a fisherman for Halloween this year. He did great wearing the costume and carrying his fishing pole so everyone could see the fish he caught! After a few pictures there is a video of Anderson going down the bouncy house slide at the Halloween carnival we visited.

Taking out the Trash

Anderson loves taking trash out to the big garbage bins outside. Whenever he sees the bag sitting by the door in the garage, he gets so excited and takes it straight there once the garage is open. Here he is managing a rather large load!

Getting Bigger!

TX State Fair

Last weekend we took Anderson for his second trip to the Fair. Last year, he went as a baby, but didn't get to sample the yummy goodies that he tasted this year! He also had lots of fun playing the fishing game. No rides this year, still a little too small. Anderson LOVED the farm animals and threw an enormous tantrum when we left the barn area. Overall, we had a great time!

Our Busy Boy

One of Anderson's favorite activities these days is going into the backyard with Daddy. He's already figured out that's where the fish are and he enjoys going to visit and take care of the pond.

Tornado Anderson is making a daily landfall here in our home. It's becoming very difficult to avoid having our house look this way most of the time. Thank goodness we don't get many unexpected visitors! One would think we have a large dog in our home!

Immediately as this video was being ended, Anderson took that book he was bringing me and threw it at my face (he hasn't quite realized stuff like that hurts)! He hit me right in the corner of my eye so hard that it immediately swelled up and over the next few days a bruise formed. I'm just glad I hit the 'end' button or else the video would've caught me gasping and crying in pain!
