Dear Custard,

Thanks for all the stupid. We'll miss your ham-chomping, yowly ridiculousness. I'm glad it only took you 8 years to accept me as family, but I'm so sorry I only had 11 years to know you. You were our furry brother from another mother, and we'll always expect you on a pile of clothes or just around the corner protesting some injustice visited upon you by the other cats. I hope there's lots of gravy where you are now. And thanks for giving Alex that one last butt-wrappy, I know she appreciated it. I wish you were here puking up spider plant right now, and can't believe how much I miss you. You dumb, loud, obnoxious cat.

Another Solid Food First

It's another blurry action shot of Gabey eating something. I decided that his first Halloween card (thanks Granny and PopPop) was best served at room temperature and whole. Other culinary delights (not pictured) for this week include several books and a magazine.

Fabulous Sunglasses

What can I say? Sometimes it's fun to play dress-up with the boy. He'll curse me for it later. Oh well.

New Hat!

Sadly, there was no electric green yarn at the craft store that was fuzzy and warm enough. But this blue seems to do the trick, and Gabe likes his new hat very much. He also likes Alex's sunglasses.

Swingset Predator

Our hawk made an appearance today on the swingset. Good thing no tasty kids were swinging at the time!

Say Cheese...
