How did this happen? I have a toddler and she's half way to the half way mark of her second year of life! I know it's a cliche' but it really does go fast. I swear it was only last week that she was holding her head up on her own, and now she's reading the joy of cooking in go go boots. We made the switch to a forward facing car seat. Shocking ourselves, we went a little on the loud side; lime green loud. Yep, my car screams "this lady has a baby." I always pictured something that would blend with the interior of my car. Yea, well, there is no blending in about it, it's cooool though.

Thanksgiving weekend

Nora, Ralph, and Bean headed to Portland to spend Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa Kaplan. I'm sorry I don't have pictures to share. I'm assured they had a great time; ate a lot of food (Thank you Lynnda for sending some to the coast, mmmmhhh!!), watched more football, and hit up black friday.

I joined them on Friday morning and Ralph, Nora, Bean and I headed to Pacific City to meet up with Paul, Sara, and Essie.
