thanks for ALL the attention

Let me say sorry in advance if your photo doesn't make it on this post. With a weekend of 12 relatives and digital cameras, there are too many good photos to post them all. For more photos see http://picasaweb.google.com/mike826engel/TurkeyDayEtc2008# Credit to some photos here and there go to my niece Brittany.





With talk of too many good photos, how do brussels sprouts make the blog? It was Thanksgiving which is in large part about good food.


Eat we did!!!! Oscar kept his typical diet of mushed up stuff and boob juice. In this photo, he is using Mike's highchair, bib, and is sitting on his piggy blanket. In addition to all the baby hugging, squeezing, and playing . This weekend was highlighted by the reunion of Mike and his missing baby book. It has been lost for almost a year. It is fun to have it back. And it solves the mystery of what happened to the book which is less exciting than some of our creative stories.

Here is Oscar with his 91 year old grandmother. Oscar was going from relative to relative so much that for the first time ever he got clingy for his parents.

The long weekend started with a triple birthday party for Aunt Heidi and cousins Chris and Mckenzie.

This was the first time Chris and Mckenzie saw Oscar.

The duck in the photo is knitted by Hannah. Oscar really likes it. Aunt Heidi loves to shop especially for a baby. Mike was not excited about the toy she bought as it is plastic and uses batteries. However after watching Oscar play with it, even he conceded it was a good toy. He can ride it, push it like a cart, and drive it like a truck. And when he is not using it his Uncle Chris can use it to sleep on the floor. For the record the bottle is root beer.
