The Hot Dogs: January 2012

Is January really almost over? This year is already flying by too quickly!

Michael loves to drum on his toys with pencils...we're never buying a real drum set since this is a much more affordable option.

For Christmas, he got some dress-up Halloween costumes from Aunt Jenny, Uncle Craig, Harrison, and Max. Here is Michael the Rocket Ship!

We went to the Orlando Ale House by Disney one evening to meet Kenneth's cousin, Melissa, for dinner while she was in town for a gymnastics tournament. This Ale House always has really talented balloon artists. Michael got an alien in a space ship this night. There was another gold inner tube type thing around the black one, but it popped before I got a picture of it.

Murphy doesn't get enough love on this blog, so here's one of just him...

One afternoon, Michael wanted to watch Phineas and Ferb while I was getting dinner ready. He got a pillow, and I helped him with the blanket. When I came back to check on him a little later, Murphy had found some extra space to cuddle.

Kenneth took Michael to a birthday party that was at a go cart track.

Michael had a ball!

This one cracks me up with his arm resting on the frame...

Playing a little Golf with Daddy...

Saturday, January 28th, was our last official Saturday as a family of three. So we took a special field trip to DeLeon Springs to have breakfast at the Old Spanish Sugar Mill, which has been one of my favorite places to go since I was a little girl. We ended up having to wait an hour and a half for a table, but it worked out pretty well since there is a lot to see around the Spring. It's a natural spring, which means the water is cold year round.

Michael was thinking about touching it with his fingers here but changed his mind...
