Ready or Not...

Batten down the hatches! Only 4 weeks until Hurricane Knox hits the Eastern Unites States.

I'm a messy eater so get out the plastic rolls, Grammy & Noni!

Little Drummer Boy

Like father, like son: Knox has recently taken up the drums. As if he needed any more encouragement, we gave him a stainless steel bowl and a wooden spoon this weekend and he delightedly beat away. I've only got one wooden spoon, so...if you're looking for 1st Birthday gift ideas...

He also gets to play Daddy's big-boy drums once in awhile. He plays each one with purpose, leaning forward to reach all the cymbals. He gets a little wild with the drumsticks (Daddy should probably be wearing safety glasses, if not a full face mask), but a bit of practice will change that.

He's a bit of an animal behind the kit.

It became quite apparent that we've created a monster when we realized that he crawls down the hallway, opens the door to the drum room and immediately grabs the drumsticks. Ladies and Gentlemen: we've got ourselves a KnoxStar!

'Tis The Season

Football Season, that is.

Let's go, Buffalo!

These Boots Are Made for Working

Since Knox is (we're guessing) only weeks away from walking, we figured it was time to get him his first pair of work boots.

They are a little bit big, yet. But he tried them out and stomped all over the house.

They should be just perfect to throw in some fire wood with Grampy and take a ride on Grammy's bulldozer in Pennsylvania. And then, once we get to New Hampshire he can go out and rake some leaves for Noni and Papa.

It's hard work to play!

And it's especially hard work to be this cute!

Seriously cute!
