Exhaustion from all the fun!

David thought playing in Uncle Matt's room was fun! He had a big day at the park, so a nap was in order. Sleeping beauty.

Thanksgiving 2005



Originally uploaded by Jennie Olson.

Thanksgiving 2005. This time last year, we were celebrating Thanksgiving with our cousins in St. Louis, then hopped over to Lincoln, NE to take David to his first Husker game. Now, were are here in Georgia. No family. One of Jennie's nurse friends, Barbara Tew, and her family, invited the Olson clan to Thanksgiving at their house. Barb and her family are from Buffalo, NY. They don't have any family close by either.

The day started w/ Matt smoking ribs and sausage to take to the feast. Those New Yorkers had never had Texas style ribs and sausage for THANKSGIVING !! David dressed up in warm clothes and he and Matt played with the pups while mommy worked on the sweet potatos.

Off to the Tew's.......What a great time! The food was incredible! There were at least 6 different homemade pies! The turkey was huge! And the ribs and sausage was a big hit! The kids were so much fun. They raked up a big pile of leaves for David to jump in. That was something he had never done! WHAT A BLAST !!! He played and played and fell asleep in the car within 5 minutes when we started home.

THANK YOU TEW FAMILY for a wonder Thanksgiving, 2005 !

Mom and Dad pout when David does something that we don't like. At first, David would just stare at us. Now, he pouts too, then bursts out laughing. We can't even pretend to be upset with the little guy!

David and Dad are too cool in their shades. Look out, Tom Cruise! By the way, it is even more cool to have a dinasaur shirt with a big "D" on it.

Ruby Falls in Chattanooga TN

On our way home from the mountain adventure, we decided to take the "long way" home. We drove to Chattanooga TN & went to Ruby Falls, a small underground cavern with a waterfall inside. David had lots of "ooohs & ahs" and "what's that"? along the way & love to touch the rocks. We are planning another trip to the TN aquarium!

The Olson family took a fun trip to the north Georgia mountains. Blue Ridge, Georgia, to be exact. Even Molly & Herbie went! We stayed in a cabin, played in the leaves, walked by the creek, walked the dogs down long roads, rode the Blue Ridge Mtn Railway to Copperhill, TN, played in the hotub, ( one of David's favorite things ) & went to an apple orchard! A much needed vacation !

Halloween 2005 Puppy Dog David

David was a fuzzy puppy dog for Halloween this year. He was exactly thrilled w/ the costume, but did have fun riding in his wagon to go trick or treating. David even decorated his own pumpkin with stickers.

head, shoulders, knees and toes (on Vimeo)

This is an old video of David when he was about 11 months old or so. He "shakes it" just a bit, to one of his favorite songs, Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Watch for upcoming new "dance moves". He can really shake it now!

Silly Boy !

Here are a few pics of David taken w/ the cell phone camera. He is such a ham. Poses and smiles big! There are a couple of pics w/ him wearing his pre Halloween pumpkin shirt, riding a merry-go-round at the store. Silly boy! Unfortunately, when you blow these pictures up big, they get blurry. It is better to look at them in their smaller size. MORE GOOD PICTURES TO COME !
