Usually when it's too quiet in the house, I find something like this: 

But today, I found this! What a good boy! (Even if his socks don't match his shirt) 

Hippy Holidays from the Lundes

Don't worry. We haven't given up personal hygene and moved into a bus. But you know us, we just couldn't stick with the status quo!

Hippy Family Photo #2 

And the Unveiling of the long awaited anual Christmas photo of Benton Thomas Stone Lunde and Emmaleigh Danielle Peters: 

My friend Soren came over the other night and we watched a movie. It was terribly exciting. 

Here's our handsome boy! 

I was looking at pictures on my camera the other day and stumbled across these pictures from Bauman Farms. We took a day trip back in October with the Taylors and the Rowles. We had so much fun soaking in all the fall atmosphere (and the apple cider donuts). 

McKinzie helped Benton down the slide. 

Jazzmine shared her Pumkin Ice Cream.

It's a...

Brother!!!

Benton's brother is due April 17th (which is the perfect date, incedentally. "Not too hot not too cold. All you need is a light jacket." Name that movie for scads of bonus points). Anyway, we're very excited about having another little boy to love and clean up after. I'll try to get some pictures of him posted in the next day or so. Or maybe not.

We spent Thanksgiving out at the Browns this year. It was a full day (emphasis on full). It was good to spend the day with family, though we missed the ones who couldn't be there: The Peters in Africa, Drew across a pond or two, and Jessi holding down the fort in Virginia. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

"More cranberry!" (He's not my kid). 

"Punky-Pie. Mmmm. S'good." 

Benton wasn't the only one enjoying Thanksgiving dinner! 

"Just one gumball? C'mon. Gum is a pallet cleanser, right?" 

Peek-a-boo! 

Benton and Grandad worked off some calories buffing the kitchen floor (Actually, Grandad did most of the calorie burning and Benton did most of the buffing). 

Benton loved Grandma Sherri and Aunt Marci's pumpkin birthday cake! Cake makes a great dinner, in case you ever wondered.
