Weiss Family: Our November

Since it has taken me a MONTH to post again - I will share our highlights from November.

The boys are 17 months old! We had a checkup with the pediatric endocrinologist and as we expected, they are doing just fine. They are little but growing appropriately. We'll have what will most likely be a final checkup with Dr. Deeb when Alden and Carson are two and they'll graduate :) They are still not quite 20 lbs, but getting close.

David's Uncle Leon and Aunt Ellie came to visit and Pops cooked ribs - the boys had their first taste. Based on the pics, I'd say they loved and devoured them!!

David and Grandpa finished the swingset/playground area!! After two scoops of sand from Esposito's, One Ton of Rubber Mulch and 300lbs of rubber perimeters (like 4x4s) were delivered. David and my Dad moved it all into the swingset area.

That bag of mulch you see is 5 feet tall and 3 feet in diameter!!

Here is the final project!! The tarped area is the sandbox - covered to try to keep out the neighborhood cats and raccoons!

While the men were working, Grandma Kathy, Mimi and I took Alden and Carson to the Weaver Festival at Millstone Plantation - they LOVED seeing all the animals. We saw sheep, goats and even Llamas! Of course, Alden's favorite sighting was of the black lab running around :) What a dog-lover he is!!

When we got home, the boys enjoyed the inaugural time in the sandbox :)

On Thanksgiving, we ran the Turkey Trot and then headed out to my Uncle Steve and Aunt Lisa's house for a day of fun and family. Here is a shot of the boys at their first real Thanksgiving feast!

Carson was quite enjoying the sweet potatoes and marshmallows in the orange.

The day after Thanksgiving, Leah, Peyton and Jon came over to visit - an annual tradition! Alden was still asleep but here is a cute shot of Peyton and Carson.

The boys enjoying the cold weather outside on the patio with their cars.

We took a trip to Dorothy Oven Park with Mimi and Grandpa to see the lights.

Free from the stroller, the boys were running around like crazy through the meadow and trying to touch all of the lights.

To end, a few final shots of "The Do" before Alden gets his first haircut this coming week. The time has come folks, he can't see anymore and one more comment from a stranger regarding our "boy and girl twins" and I'll make a few enemies!!! So, I'll leave you with a few silly shots of Alden's hair from this month.
