Another picture of my bro, Aaron, just to dispel any notions about his existence.
I think it's clear which one of us got the good looks.

House Special

My Thanksgiving meal, served with a nice Gewurztraminer. I took this picture just for you.

The Spread

Mighty fine vittles. Mommy Stu's best.

down for the count

The post-meal fatigue was too much for even the 3-year-old in the house who boldly announced just before eating the customary meal that he "didn't like Turkey."

embracing the territory

Sam stole my shirt and put it on his skinny body, thus cementing his attitude toward his new home. Go Sooners.

Look, my brother really does exist. Aaron takes a load off and performs the requisite American post-meal task of turning on the TV.

up and running

Grandpa (in background) fixed a broken Power Wheels Jeep the neighbors gave Carson. Thursday was the unveiling of this Jeep and all its accompanying fun.

Looks like trips to Grandpa Dan's house will be a little more entertaining now.

Into the leaves

Carson heads into the great pile of leaves, unaware of what awaits.

'I'm stuck'

The leaves claim the Jeep, rendering the super grip plastic wheels useless. Some Jeep this is.

Insurance

Sam takes no chances with the lives of his future children, employing a pack of paper towels to dissipate the potentially dangerous heat waves from the laptop.

Don't believe me? Read this:

Even 'ol Roy could do little for the Longhorns in the '03 Red River Shootout.

Home again, home again...


3hrslate.jpg, originally uploaded by johnniestu.

Laura and Sam finally pulled in to the Norman train station at 11:45 Tues. night following a 6.5 hour Amtrak ride from Ft. Worth. Delay...delay...delay...

But, they're home fair and square (perhaps sound as a pound?) and ready to get things cracking on their Normanite lives.

home

The first embrace in nearly five months. This is the longest any immediate Stuart family member has been removed from the nest without some kind of familial ties.

welcome

Mommy Stu welcomes Laura and Sam home yet again.
