Owen's new thing is to open my car door in the morning before he opens his. He can be such a sweet sweet boy!

Thanksgiving take 1

One of the great things about having family in MT and in WA is that we often get to celebrate holidays twice!  Sunday we had Felton Thanksgiving dinner and get to do it again next week with the Sari Family.    

Owen and Grandma Carole made this fun turkey appetizer...I think Clara kind of helped too, by sampling everything!

How many Felton guys does it take to get the turkey out?

Shoes

I love this...
This is how Clara always takes off her shoes. She tucks a sock in each one and sets them side by side. I think they do it that way at daycare and am liking the responsibility!

Date night

Carole and Ron took the kids for the night so we went on a double date with the Hubbards and had a blast!

PDX visit

Last weekend we finally gave Dom and Lisa their wedding gift.  Whether they liked it or not, we went over to do a house project with them!  We were able to spend a short time in Longview and have lunch with Nona and Papa before heading to Portland for the rest of the weekend.  Our project: tiling the entry way.  We got right to work when we arrived on Friday and we were done by noon on Saturday.  The kids got to spend a super fun night in Longview with Grandma, Maria and Eric and joined us in Portland Saturday.  We all went to UPs last game of the season (but not last game because they made the playoffs) and had time for the park and a dance party before flying out on Sunday.

"God made me really good."

I often wonder how to explain God to kids (Godparents? Any input?).  Honestly, aside from going to church, saying prayers and roughly explaining why we celebrate certain holidays, I don't really know how to do so.  Our little conversation on the way to church today assured me that for a 3-year-old, Owen is somehow starting to get it.

A: "Remember to be kind and gentle to all the kids at the day care."

O: "Yeah cause some kids are small."

A: "God made everyone and we are all a little different... some people are boys, some are girls, some are big and some are small."

O: "God made me really good.  He made my arms so I could throw rocks and he made my legs so I could run so fast.  He made my bones.  Teeth are bones and God made a toothbrush so we could take care of our teeth."
