Onward into December!

With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas upon us, we're saying to ourselves "SHHHHHHIIIIITTTTT" its all ready almost 2010? And we find ourselves scrambling in a panic. Kim's got finals here in the next 2 weeks, Liz has been busy busy at work, oh and did I mention that Gavin popped out 4 top teeth?
We had an excellent Thanksgiving feast. Jason and the kids, Kelsey, and Mom and Mike all came out for a delicious burned turkey. Despite the terrible turkey Kim and I produced, we heard the pumpkin pie wasn't so bad. It was a nice long weekend too. Much needed and deserved.
So onward into December we go. Kelsey's birthday is coming up (1st) and then Tyler's (2nd) and then it will be Christmas (3rd). Does anyone know if the Kirks are planning anything?
Other then that, please email you address if you're on the "naughty or nice" list aka the list on the email of people's addresses that I need. And check out the pictures! See everyone soon! Happy Thanksgiving!

Gavin pictures! He's 7 months old now.

We all do our part to take care of Gavin. Crash is in charge of cleaning Gavin after meals.

"Why can't I get to my big brother?"

"Crash, if you can hear me, its me, Gavin! How do I get to you?"

In the bath tub, I like to eat my rubber duckies! Yum!
If only my head wasn't so big I would be able to crawl, but its just too heavy!
Hi Family, my name is Gavin Hamilton and I love my rhino pajamas!

Gavin's getting ready to crawl....but only for the remote control.

Where have the Hamiltons gone?

Now I know what you guys are thinking.....where the hell did the Hamiltons go?

After a rough, rough, rough, 3 weeks, we have resurfaced and we're back in the groove again. We moved out of the house with Brent due to budget cuts in the Hamilton funding. We moved in with Kim's parents, which went for about 3 weeks. We found an afforable little 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment that is 1.5 miles away from Liz's work and we are all moved in and finally settled. Just in time for Gavin's first Halloween. Check out the pictures. For Gavin's first Halloween he was Master Yoda, Kim was Luke Skywalker, Liz was Princess Leia, and Crash was Chewbacca. We had a great Halloween!

We took Gavin trick-or-treating to 2 houses. (I don't give a crap if he can't eat solid food yet, we went trick or treating!) then we went to a co-workers house for a little Halloween shin-dig.

Last week Gavin also had his 6-month appointment. He is 19 pounds 4 ounces and 28.5 inches long. We are officially in 9-12 month clothes! The weather here in Phoenix went from 115 in August to 100 in September to 65 in October! We went from tanktops to sweatshirts in 30 days. THis place is ridiculous. Poor Gavin's little (or chubby) cheeks are red and dry as this weather turns into a bitter cold. Crash on the other hand couldn't be happier with the cold weather. We wake up every morning to Crash with a smile on his face, wagging his tail, holding his leash in his mouth. Now if only we could teach him to cook us breakfast.

Keep in touch with us friends and family. As the holidays season continues, I'm going to be asking for addresses of friends and families I don't have, so be on the look out for that! And eventually I'll have some kind of plans for the holidays for us Hamiltons. Right now it looks like Thanksgiving we're going to stay here in Phoenix, but we'll be making a whirlwind trip of California for Christmas. More on that later. Keep in touch!

Happy Halloween from the Hamiltons!
