Thanksgiving 2010 or Still in the Desert

 Okay, so there are quite a few pictures of Eli.   I like this Grandma stuff.

 Allison basically cooked the Dinnner with David as sou chef.  I pretty much put my feet up. ( i wasn't doing too well at the time.)  Might as well make the most of it huh?

Scrapping

I thought Allison and I could tackle the boxes of photos stacked in the garage before the heat damaged them. It really was a bit overwhelming.  I have way too many photos with  way more of the most recent ones in the computer somewhere.

 I don't really scrapbook like most people I guess.  Nothin' fancy or expensive. I just mount pictures on a page with a little embellishment, kind of like old fashioned blogging I guess.

It was fun and will be worth it to have preserved the photos.  I am about ready to keep only 10  photographs per child though.

Prelude

I love this progression caught in stills.

Oh yeah! 

Becoming Oliver Wood -or- Can David Really Fly?

 Dave and his friends decided (or Dave got invited) to go to the first midnight showing of...
 "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".
All were assigned characters to portray.  (And I thought I had squeaked by costume making last minute madness at Halloween-- but oh no.)  On second thought I Had Scrambled for a couple of last minute costumes for Halloween.    Evidently Dave was worried for a minute too. 

 Dave went as Oliver Wood the Keeper on the Quidditch team.

Start with maroon clothes, after mucho searching of course!

Dye a robe, sew on lots gold trim, and make Hogworts crests out of felt.  (Good thing the "all things Harry Potter" expert had flown in from New York City.) Then rummage for shin guards and catcher's gear and a broom.

Now, put all that you have on the boy for the transformation!

Quidditch Anyone?

Arizona Teen

Dave in a magazine!  ( link)

 Arizona Teen magazine, only too bad it is in the "naughty and nice" Issue.  Don't worry  because it is just a goofy subtitle.

He is on page 16.
 Go there (16) at the bottom of the opening page, then clic full screen then zoom and drag. Ta Da!
Yea! Dave.
