Big Boy Beds!

Abe: What a great Thanksgiving this year. Ya ya lots of food, Ethan and Aiden's family were here, party lights, grandma and grog. Koh even fell asleep at the table this year while everyone watched.

But the best part was getting to escape from life in the crib jail and sleep in our NEW BIG BOY BEDS! Now this is cool. I think Daddy didn't like us climbing the walls of those baby jails.

No, we're not identical

Koh: Just 'cause we're twins and both 32" tall doesn't mean we're the same. For example, I'm Momma's boy and...

• I have blue eyes, blonde hair, detached earlobes, big toes are my longest
• I'm a picky eater
• I'm 27 pounds and a bit squishier
  
• I'm calm and quieter, and think a lot
• I notice very small bugs
• I like books and cars
• I'm quick to dance
• I walk fast, with purpose, and can keep going a loooooooong way
• Need my blankey more which I carry around in my mouth like a dog, but I don't use a binky

Abe: I hang out more with Daddy ...he's my hero. I love KohKoh but I'm not like him:

• I have hazel eyes, reddish blonde hair, attached earlobes and my second toes are really long
• I eat everything
• I'm a 25 pound hardbody ...lean and ripped
• I'm gonna be a gymnast someday, already practicing
• I'm a spaz and am very noisy when needed, which is often
• I'm quick to smile
• The tattoo
• I like gadgets, tools, digital button things
• I dawdle when I walk, and I get tired faster
• Sleep with a binky
  

National Geo Shuffle

Koh: Daddy loves his 40+ year National Geographic collection and so do we. Today he left us in the library to do some research and we looked and looked but just couldn't find that one map of Chile that we wanted to rip up. It was OK, 'cause it was fun sliding around on the little mountain we made.

He and mom wanted to be mad at us for this mess, but we could see them smilin'.

Postscript: 5 minutes to make, 2 hours to unmake this mess ...grrrr

Dad, stuck in tree

Abe: Mommy - will you please get Daddy down from that tree? He makes me nervous.

Sally showed us how...

... to do our first Columbia Gorge hike ON OUR OWN FEET.

Koh: Sally is one of our favorite neighbors because she comes over all the time and plays plus she likes to be outdoors so we all went on this hike to Angels Rest that Mom & Dad always carried us on before. But today we escaped out of the backpacks and walked A LOT down this LONG TRAIL that kept on going and going and we finally got tired.

We saw a big newt, some dogs and BIG SLUGS and some waterfalls and lots of pretty yellow leaves. Did you know Abe and me can say YELLOW? 28 more pics here.
