Back down to earth...
Emerson's first taste of egg-nogg.
UPDATES!
We've been a-wall as a family, seemingly, since shortly before Thanksgiving. But I'm checking in to fill in the timewarp.
Currently we're gearing up as a fam to head out to New England for our Garnett/O'Meara/Knapp family Christmas. Yep, ... we're driving. Just a brief explanation for anyone who thinks we'll inevitable be checking into a pyche-ward after our trip (or somewhere along the way): We really like it. I mean, sure, there are the occasional moments of car-sickness, tantrum throwing, over-tired whining (from me??) and numb-bum syndrome-- but all in all, we love taking adventures as a family. I love the closed in spaces and eye to eye contact during conversation. It's the one time we lift the boundary lines a bit and all sleep in one bed if need be- and swim in indoor pools and eat "treats" way after a designated sugar limit hour. All the while, it says: "This is how much we love mim and papa and grandma and grampa. We love them SOOOO much that we spend 12- 20 hours to show up slightly disheveled on their doorstep.
So from thanksgiving in Nebraska, to Christmas in New England- we're all over the map. Here's some pics from out west.
<<>> A very surprised me (having called our baby to be "Eve" or "Evelyn" for the last 4 months) is very thrilled to throw another fantastic ball of testosterone into the knapp mix. (I'm not even being the slightest bit sarcastic)

Taking a little car-ride ... (check out the watermelon trident gum- I can't believe he kept it in his mouth!!)
Jackson's new winter apparel-- boots and Thomas underpants (He officially starting dooking on the potty at Grandmas' house. I know, most readers will think it's a little "tmi" - but we're all about milestone news.)
Grandpa Ed graciously allowed Emerson to wear out his hat. ** Em is a hat-man. Loves them.
Eating peanuts...
Watching a Thomas movie for the 32nd time....

Yay Linds! I was beginning to think the psych ward had claimed you on the way home from Nebraska. It is great to see pics of the fam - and another boy? That comes as a big surprise to me! You look so beautiful eating peanuts. Did I tell you we got our plane tickets? We are coming for real. I am so excited. I have so many questions for you always. Great to hear that Jack is getting potty trained, esp. before Baby 3 (whose name will be Clive? Glen? Smith? I like those..) and I'm so happy that the arbor is coming along. Did you guys do Christmas in Nebraska with Bri's family? We are SO excited to come to your world.
congrats on the boy! i totally thought it would be a girl! but hey- why not more boy? You guys make great boys! haha!
Love ya-Eileen
Linds... what the heck? Call me!!
Too much to ask or say right now.
