And Baby Makes 4...

College Park Aviation Museum

We took the kids to College Park to see the holiday train display at the Aviation Museum. It's one of the oldest airfields in the U.S. and the planes housed there are pretty neat. The train display was the main attraction for the kids, but the art centers were fun too.

Christmas Tree 2010

Nick picked out the tree this year. He did a great job!

Thanksgiving 2010

The boys (Tommy, Matthew, & Nick) enjoying some quiet time together before dinner. Natalie is already starting to cry here.

Dad taking care of the turkey prep.

Another picture of the kids relaxing. Soon after dinner, Natalie lost it for much of the day.

Unfortunately, I didn't take too many pictures on Thanksgiving this year. I snapped a few early on, but Natalie picked that day to turn on her "charm" (said sarcastically). She was overtired and cried and screamed much of the day. So.... my camera did not make another reappearance. Sorry for anyone wanting to see good pics. Maybe next time. :-)

Baltimore Aquarium visit with Tim, Em, & Lucy

Since we didn't get to go to the aquarium back when it was $5 night, we went on a weekend day in November. This time Natalie did not come with us. She stayed home with Daddy to get a nap in. Nick & Lucy had a blast & Nick said his favorite things were the Jellyfish, sharks, and the dolphin show.

Metric Mile Run

Wayne, Emily, & Tim before the race

And they're off!

Wayne arrived first

Followed 10 seconds later by Tim

Waiting for everyone to finish up.

At the 30 minute mark, Emily crossed the finish

November brought very cold temps and yet another race for Wayne. He ran the Metric Mile in Columbia, MD with his cousin, Emily and her husband, Tim. He finished under his last time, which made him happy.

Halloween 2010

This year, Nick decided to be a skeleton and Natalie was a black cat. Nick originally wanted to be a ghost, but we had a hard time keeping the sheet on his head. Last year on Halloween, the weather was cold and rainy. This year we got nice mild weather & temps. Both kids came home with a ton of candy!

Michael is the Big 4-0!

Our brother-in-law, Mike, turned 40 this year. I am not about to start telling any age jokes, since I will be joining the 40 Club this year! :-) Lissa provided a huge moon bounce for the kids and a huge cake for everyone as well. There was also so much food... they had leftovers for over a week! Happy 40th, Mike! Hope this year is a wonderful one!
