Christmas day at the Buske's in Litchfield.

A red-headed woodpecker visits Christmas eve.

Isaac and cousin, Sydney love the baby stroller.

Emily, my sis, her husband Brian and their new little one Andrew.

The snow wouldn't pack so daddy and Isaac made a snow blob.

Isaac had fun decorating the yiddle tree with mommy!

He takes the ornaments off and puts them on each day.

He's smiling and having fun.

We took Isaac to see Santa on Friday and used our gift certificate to Pastabilities for dinner. He told S. he wanted a truck. That was all he wanted. Just a truck. I save my Christmas cards every year for him to look at (in a drawer in the kitchen). He found some with baby Jesus on them in a manger or a stable, according to him. He wanted to know about the 3 kings and the gifts for Jesus so I explained that to him. Here's some other fun stuff he's been doing lately. He remembers things for hours. Like yesterday when Brian was gone in the afternoon for a few hours, as soon as he came home, Isaac told him that I hid a dinosaur in daddy's closet to scare him. He told me as soon as I came home from shopping in the morning about something Brian said they talked about a long while before. Brian got a gag gift at work of self-adhesive stylish mustaches. Isaac said he was like paw-paw Buske. It was silly.

Silly Lily!

Introducing...the esteemed Buzz Lightyear.

The Piano Man.

Isaac's singing Where is Thumkin right now when he's supposed to be falling asleep. His rendition doesn't quite make the cut, but it makes me laugh!

I went to get a haircut on Sat. and when I returned, Brian and Isaac had done some recording. These clips are fun. I wish I knew how to bubble them together. I'll work on it for next time. Enjoy these and smile!

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin carving day...Isaac was excited about the fun task until realizing exactly what it would entail, as you can see by the video.

Fall is a fun time of year. We love the cooler temps. and beautiful colors.

More pictures of the fields and trees....

We went to Ft. Daniel in Mt. Zion for a fun walk. Beautiful fall day!

Train dance!

Isaac and Daddy made sock puppets. The puppets went through the wash once, but now they're new and improved. Here are some puppet shots.

Fun in Champaign!

A fun day at the apple orchard!

The Cowboy birthday party was the best! Yee-Ha!

Silly face!

October

Fall is here, even though the temps are hotter than ever! Isaac and I just went and visited with Erika (h.s. friend) and her boyfriend Andy. They are visiting Erika's sis, Jen, and the family for a few days. Shawna, Erika and I were best of friends in h.s. When I was in my car accident, they were sooooo there for me. They visited with others when I was in the hospital in Decatur and rehab. in Champaign (92). Shawna is a principal this year at a school in Champaign (I'm so proud of her!). She has had a rough start, though. Her dad is in very bad shape at a hospital in Champaign. We're praying for him (his lung collapsed). Tonight, I guess I'm the bearer of bad news. My grandma has been hospitalized this week with a bad blood infection. I will try and see her this week after work.
I got a new digital camera and tonight I'm going to try and figure it out so I can post.

Have a cool day!
