Catching up with lots of folks ...

It was a pretty busy week! I was sick and stayed home from school for a couple of days. Grandma Maggy and I hung out for awhile. Dad's cousin Ellen stopped by. I went to a birthday party. I played in the snow. Dad, Mom and I went out to eat. I visited Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Miller. I met our neighbor Debbie's new dog Max. (You get the picture. I wore Mom and Dad out.)

Forgive the poor photography, Dad was rushing to get a shot of me after I turned the TV on and used the remote to change channels. Seeing this caused both Mom and Dad great pause.

Saturday was my friend Avery Andersen's 9th birthday party. All the older guys went bowling but I hung out with Avery's Dad Steve ...

... his Mom Sue and the rest of the Andersen clan. Mike and Kendall were there, too!

Avery was kind enough to share a piece of his birthday cake ... it was good!

After the party we came home and I played in the snow a bit. We've gotten well over 60" this winter and had a lot of melting this past weekend.

This picture shows how high the snow is on either side of our driveway. I thought this was a lot until I talked to Steve yesterday (he lives in Atlantic) and saw the snow in Chariton today. Wow!

Mom and I played "king of the mountain". She was pretty easy on me and I won!

Today we went to Chariton. What a fun trip! Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa are really cool to hang out with and didn't get mad at all when I explored their house.

This is a picture of me being held by Dad while looking at a picture of Dad when he was about my age. Jeepers.

Toodles, everyone ... have a great week.
