If Ray did a "favorite things" ala Oprah, this would be pretty close to the top right now. It's Salt & Pants. AKA a salt and pepper shaker.... that's wearing tighty whities. Or, as the box says, "The most fun you can have with your pants on.
Yum, fried turkey. 
May your Monday be as fun as a trip through a hay maze.
A lot more concentration on the game than a year ago.
What a ladies' man....is this a preview for 60 years from now?
Not as great a family photo as the ones she picked for the blog, but I've never managed to capture Mr. "catch me if you can"... despite seeing him all the time. I love this shot!
The guys were already at the house and I was driving up. I had to pull over to get a picture (the one above is at the turn into our subdivision) and tell Ray to go upstairs. 
Fortunately, they made it. (Side note, check out those eyelashes on E...)
This is my reminder for those days when he has pushed every button and then walked right back over and is starting on the first one again. Pushing buttons=healthy and happy. This kid had no ability to push anything.
He spent a lot of time sacked on the couch, watching Pingu ("Duck?"). The cats tried to help.
There were a few happy moments, but the smile was pretty elusive. Fortunately, three days of sleeping on every available surface and he's back to normal. In fact, I think he's trying to get out all those words that he couldn't while he was sick.
Oh, yes, I wanted it.
You can't entirely capture the true glory on the camera.
Admittedly, the happy toddler zooming about makes it harder.
Picture this with a Vikings jersey, and you have a pretty easy backup halloween costume.
When Ray's home he usually gets up with kiddo. And when he's home on a Sunday, they usually watch football together. Apparently they combined this and were pregaming with ESPN a few weeks ago. Toddler version of tailgating?
The (German?) tourist. I blame his Aunt Laura for this (or at least my urge to put black socks on him). Ray and I find it hilarious.
