Fall photo backlog, Thanksgiving

Hi everyone! I know it's been a really long time since I've made a post. I didn't do much photography in the fall, and we didn't do very many exciting events. This September we started potty training, which on the whole is going well, but doesn't make for great photo journalism. Anyway, here are some photos from various times over the past few months, concluding with Thanksgiving.

I knew Nancy and Dave back in Canada almost two decades ago. They moved to Seattle for a couple of years, during which Amanda and Nancy became good friends. They're now living in California, so it's nice to see them on occasion when they visit Seattle. The boys like all the extra attention.

Max really love those red boots above. He can even put them on by himself without any help, which is nice! As a parent, every little bit of progress counts.

It was nice to have Grandpa and Nonie at this Thanksgiving, as they recently moved back to the Pacific North West to be closer to family. It's rare to get so much family together, and when it happens it's always a good experience. Sam and Max greatly enjoy all the attention they get at these events!
