September - December 2005

For most of the Fall, we stayed close to home. We learned to eat solid foods. Mom and Dad finally finished the deck out back, so we got a few chances to sit outside before it got cold. Once it got cold, we got the winter clothes out. We took a plane trip to Tucson and rode in the van to Cincinnati for Christmas.

It's okay Jack, I've got your back.

Anyone know how this thing is supposed to work?
