Cousins

Connor and Trent posing with their matching shirts that Grandma bought them. Of course, Dillon had to be right in the middle of it.

New (to us) Car

After a month of searching the Internet for a new vehicle, the Nixons are now owners of a 2006 Honda Odyssey. With kid number three on the way, we were growing into a bigger car. We needed something that could hold three car seats and Christina could access the back row easily. A SUV looked appealing but would make it difficult for a pregnant lady to buckle in the kids. After getting over the stigma of driving a minivan, we settled on the Odyssey because of its reliability and features.

Some of those features are dual control air, power sliding side doors, and bucket middle seats. We were able to find a local seller who turned out to be the nicest couple. Below is a picture of a van similar to ours.

Muppet Mashup

Sesame Street has gotten some attention on the Internet this last week because of their 40th anniversary. In their honor, this site posted pictures of Sesame Street (and Muppets) celebrity doppelgangers. My favorite was Pepe and Steve Buscemi.


This made me realize I have some people in my extended family that also look like characters.


James and Captain Breakfast


Taylor and Miss Piggy


Mike and Waldorf

Connor and Scooter (minus the glasses)

Thankfully there is only one Pops.

The Perils of Walking

Last night, Connor decided he wanted to go as Harry Potter for Halloween. Surprisingly, Dillon had nothing to do with this shiner. His little accident came as Christina put me in charge of watching him while she handed out candy to trick-or-treaters. I got distracted by the World Series. In my defense, the only way I could have stopped him from falling would have been to become his shadow and continually place pillows around him.
