Tolman update

So I have slacked in the updating department only because life has been crazy busy. So here is a month in review. Isaac finally got over the teething thing and now has 3 almost 4 very sharp teeth. He loves to give us kisses on the nose and then try and bite our nose off. It was all cute until he picked up the tiny chompers. He also is constantly moving and the roll seems to be his favorite form of transportation, but he has crawled a little bit and gets better at it each day. He is a crazy eater and can really pack the food away. Typically it is packed right into the mouth but some days it turns out to be a real mess. (See pictures below). Well I think that is the Ike update other than he is the coolest kid ever. Now onto the other fun and exciting things that have been going on with us. Matt and I spent October on the house hunt, and looked at a ton of homes put in a couple bids on some, but finally found one that was perfect and the bid was negotiated just right for us to buy it.  We closed on the house just before Thanksgiving and spent Thanksgiving weekend cleaning and moving. I tried to convince everyone to move us on Thanksgiving but for some reason people thought we should be eating turkey. I was nice and gave the family them Thanksgiving the day to relax knowing they would be busy the next few days. We are all moved in and realized that living in cramped spaces like we did in Seattle you really become a minimalist, needless to say we have multiple rooms with nothing in them. I'm sure it will only be a matter of time til they are filled up. Other than house hunting, moving, working crazy schedules, we also celebrated my grandma's 88th birthday, helped rake up leaves at my parents (this was mainly to keep them on my good side for when it came down to moving), and took some time to decorate a Christmas tree. Oh and in case you have no furniture to put in a room just buy a Christmas tree it seems to take up some of the space. Oh yeah I almost forgot we proudly watched Obama acceptance speech and had a great laugh when we saw the footage of Bush getting a shoe thrown at him. (Sorry the political side of me had to come out.) All of this just in time for Christmas hopefully I will be better about updating the blog on our fun Christmas within the month of December. Ok so pictures to come on all of our adventures only because I have no clue where the cord for our camera is to download all of our pictures. (the joys of moving and losing all your junk again)

Grandma + Camera = Ike going crazy

I think the final picture sums up Ike's feelings.
