4 month pic
Asher turned 4 months old on Nov.23 - HE weighs 17 lbs and is 25 1/2 inches. We go to the doctor today to get more accurate stats.
Thanksgiving Week 2009
We had great fun with the L family and the F family that came to visit us on the island. The house was filled with 6 children under 4, 2 pregnant women, 1 nursing mother, and 3 great dads. The turkey was brought to us as carry on luggage by friends from the capital city a few days earlier. It was yummy. We had all the trimmings.
Turkey and dressing
mashed potatoes
corn casserole
green bean casserole
carrot souffle
cranberry salad
pumpkin casserole (in place of sweet potatoes)
macaroni casserole
Pumpkin rolls
Then for dessert: Key Lime pie, pecan pie, and pumpkin pie - but we were all so stuffed that we didn't even touch the desserts that evening.
The kids showing off their creation - turkey centerpiece made from a melon, grapes, pears, and cheese (brought to BB by a special friend - thanks JT and CT)

Happy Birthday Caleb!
Caleb turned 33 on Nov.15. We celebrated with a cheesecake and a special coffee called "Kopi luwak - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak. It was no small endeavor because I had saved the cream cheese and raspberries from April. That is one of the trickiest parts about living on the island is that you have to plan ahead- way ahead sometimes.
Alethia and I decorated the house while Caleb was away on a trip and when he came home it was all decorated (And still is at the moment). We also made our own birthday hats. Alethia had fun cutting up bits of paper and putting them on her hat. She reminded me that Asher needed one as well- so we made him one of a different variety. Here are some birthday poses.
