The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout
Dow came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy-bitsy spider went up the spout again.

Yes, he had a cold this past week and his temperature spiked to about 104°F, but I didn't think we'd taken his picture enough for him to consider it amusement.

Here he is in much better form. I guess he's practicing to be a gymnast. Regardless, he's still a monkey.

Poor little guy is exhausted. He's been sick since Tuesday night and is just starting to feel better today. Yesterday he was so tired that he fell asleep on the floor in front of the couch while eating a graham cracker cookie.

The newest game in the house. He pretends to be a bridge under which his train must pass. Strange bird, indeed.

I know he's plotting something.

I think everything's going to be OK.

What a cheeseball.

We were looking at live photos of Andrew on TV and I guess he had to prove to himself that they were, in fact, displaying immediately.

He built this "camera" all by himself and took pictures of me, so I had to take pictures of him. It might be time to think about ebaying a cheap digital camera for him, or am I pushing too hard?
(c) 2007 Scott Everett

He is going to get such a ring around his mouth. This is a new trick he figured out today.

I can put my hands in my popits and dance! I love the hands and the expression of the next one, but wish he would have left his eyes open.

Sorry about the outage, but we should be back now (barring any more unforeseen computer errors).

He had to put his hood up for breakfast the other day. Go figure.

New Addition

I don't have any picutures yet, but we were approved to adopt Barley. Still not sure on what to call him. We are taking suggestions for his name. If you want to see him check out www.fuzzyfriendsrescue.com, he's on the second page of dogs.

Sorry for the interuption

OK, its been a while, but there will be no pictures in the immediate future. skot, being skot, decided to install a new hard drive and back everything up. In true Everett fashion, this simple act seems to have hosed the whole system. I'm posting this at work, but won't be able to upload pictures.

Still no word on the dog, unless they are trying to email skot. We'll let everyone know as soon as there is news.

The loot.

I promise, pictures are forthcoming.

I left the camera out in the living room and will post pics tomorrow night, but I just wanted to write this down while I'm here.

Today (well, yesterday at this point) was a fun day. Andrew got Christmas today. Up until today, he had no idea what was going on, nor did he really care. We put up a Christmas tree and decorated it a couple weeks ago; after that he didn't care about it. We've been putting a few presents underneath it every so often; after the first couple he never noticed. He's been talking about Santa, but had no idea what he did.

This morning he woke up and relocated his bedroom into ours like normal (every morning that he wakes up on his own, he comes into our room with Hoppy, a pillow, a pillow case, two blankets, and whatever else might be on his bed and plops on ours). After he got into our bed I asked him if Santa left him anything in his. He looked at me quizzically and I pressed further. I told him that I thought Santa had left a Curious George doll in bed with him.

"George?" he asked me.

I convinced him to check it out. Thump, thump, thump, thump went little footy-pajamas down the hallway.

Mere seconds passed.

Thump, thump, thump, thump came little footy-pajamas down the hallway and he came back into our room holding George like a little baby.

"Santa gave George!" he squeaked over and over again until we left to open presents in the living room.

Even then, he didn't realize that the boxes under the tree were for him. We worked for a few seconds to convince him to tear into the first present and from that point on, he was hooked.

He'd open one, play with it for a little bit (or hand it to Mom or Dad to dismantle the packaging) and bring out the next one, asking, "Tear off?"

Whenever he'd open a toy, he'd proclaim, "Santa gave toys!"

So, now I'm sure he knows Santa as well as the materialism and commercialism of Christmas. We just need to get him to understand Christ as well as the humanity and empathy of the season.

This should make next year fun.
