Trains Trains Trains

Watching trains inspires feelings of Christmas. I exposed Cameron to trains early on. He had a Thomas the Tank Engine theme for his first birthday and his grandfather built him a wooden train table for Christmas when he was 18 months old. We do have lots of trains around the house. So, I guess that may explain why Porter is so fascinated by trains now. But, we believe Porter may be more obsessed than Cam ever was. "Train" is one of Porter's first words he has been saying it for several months now. He is constantly pointing out trains everywhere, plays with trains constantly when at home, and will even turn down a book if it does not have trains on the cover. Recently, he has become very skilled at moving a train with several cars around the wooden track and is able to connect pieces of track together. He gets so excited when he hears the faint sounds of a real train heading through the city. It is very precious and just in time for the holidays.

Trip to Grandma's

Over the Thanksgiving Holiday we spent a week at Grandma and Grandpa's. It was bitter cold, so we spent most of the time indoors staying warm and eating. Matt and I took a little getaway to Herman, MO, to stay at a bed and breakfast and tour some of the local wineries. Cameron and Porter stayed with my parents and Aunt Emily, and helped trim the tree in preparation for Christmas. We thank my parents dearly for allowing us to have a little time to ourselves every now and then. Cam and Porter just love being spoiled by them and always have a hard time saying goodbye.
