We went back to the Shannon U-Cut Christmas Tree Farm to find our tree. As usual, we got a goodie!

THE JOURNEY BACK HOME
I’m getting to be a pro at these early morning departures from Boston back to home.
Thanks for having us, Grandma and Grandpa! And for driving us to the airport in the middle of the night!
THANKSGIVING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
On the day before Thanksgiving, we headed to The Barn Cafe in Claremont, NH. Grandpa owns this building with his buddy, Gene. And Josh, the cafe’s owner, turned it into a friendly little place.
But, most importantly…we found out which way it is to Vermont!
On Thanksgiving Day, I went out in the snow and braved the cold. (It was REALLY cold.)
And on our last day before leaving, we visited Gene in Claremont and he put me to work in his drafting office.
JOURNEYING EAST
Hello again, airport! Just a little excited to see airplanes all around me as I head east to see Grandma and Grandpa for Thanksgiving.
As is often the case, I just decide I’m going to say hello to the pilots before I board. And no one ever stops me!
Goodbye, Cascade Mountains.
Adios, North Dakota.
Hello, Boston Logan International Airport!
HALLOWEEN 2018
This Halloween, I made my own costume! (With a little of Mommy’s help.)
Here I present to you Pom Pom Galore Teacup Win Cookie Monster III. (Known casually as Pom Pom Monster.)
In the morning, I had my school Halloween party and got to tell the class what I was dressed as.
Then we had our annual Halloween parade around the neighborhood.
We also decorated the pumpkins we picked on our pumpkin patch field trip.
When it was finally nighttime, I got to go Trick-or-Treating!
Pleeeeease don’t tell me there’s a ghost behind me.
Mommy wanted me to pose on this creepy hill, but I refused. So Daddy went up and pretended he was…a zombie?
After a successful evening (my whole candy bucket got filled!), we headed home.
And I inspected my loot!
LAZY INDEPENDENCE DAY
A perfect holiday: staying home, wearing pajamas all day, shooting water guns, and looking at maps.
JUNE BIRTHDAY OUTING
Mommy and Daddy’s birthdays are both in June, so we all went out for a little birthday adventure.
First, we headed to BG’s Food Cartel for some lunch.
Then we went to the Portland neighborhood, St. John’s. I’ve been wanting to cross the St. John’s Bridge for a long time!
Then it was off to Cathedral Park for some bridge gazing and drawing.
Chubs had a nice time, too. His favorite thing to do is sleep in the grass when it’s warm out.
MOTHER’S DAY 2018
It was Mother’s Day today! First thing in the morning, I surprised Mommy with a LEGO creation I secretly made at Bricks & Minifigs.
I also made her an awesome painting!
Then we set off to Oregon City to go for a little walk. Mommy is one of those people who likes to go outside when the weather is nice.
I wanted to test out every bench along the walking path.
After passing about a dozen benches, we found Willamette Falls.
Oh, and a pedestrian bridge!
Then we headed back to the car because it was really hot and our winter skin was not accustomed to such sunshine. Mommy had a great time!
EASTER 2018
Kenji visited our house on Easter weekend and one of our favorite things to do was color eggs.
Kenji really liked the egg dye and got his hands so messy, he had to go inside to clean up. So I continued on my own.
I got my hands very colorful, too!
Kenji could barely stand watching me have all the fun by myself through the window…
…so he came back for Round Two!
Whew! That was some hard work, but we walked away with some very cool eggs.
After Kenji had a bath, he had some fun coloring with my old baby crayons and pushing around the stroller. It was fun having you here, Taylor gang!
THE BIG FIVE
I’m five!!! My birthday wish was to stay home all day in my pajamas. And it was fulfilled.
One of my gifts was a stroller for Hugs!
Hugs just loves doing stunts and riding over rough terrain.
After dinner, I had my choice of cupcakes and mini cheesecakes and Daddy helped me blow out the candles.
