Santa Photo

As promised, here is the picture of me with Santa:

Santa Claus!

Guess what, guess what, guess what???  I saw Santa Claus today!  And he was so cool.  He picked me up and put me on his lap, then asked what I wanted for Christmas.  Well, in response, I pointed at his beard and said, "That!"  Wouldn't that be something, me with a big white beard?  Mommy interrupted and told him I'd like some trains and blocks, but I really want that beard.  Jeez, Mom!

Pictures of Santa will be up shortly, but I do have pictures from the Enchanted Forest at the Pink Palace, which is where Santa was.  Here's a sample:

Zoo Lights!

Last night was lots of fun.

First, I met a friend at the new(-ish) Chick-Fil-A--you know, the one with the church facade and the only play area in town.

Then, I went with a couple friends to the zoo for Zoo Lights.  We played in the snow and saw the light displays and rode the train saw the reindeer and got to pet some of the animals.

But my favorite part of the entire night was the person in the timberwolf costume.  I don't know what it is, but I really like large fuzzy costumes.  It started with the Panda at Zoo Boo, then continued with at the St Jude Marathon.  And now it's a timberwolf.

I almost didn't make it home awake.

Tweet, Tweet!

I, your faithful blogger, am now officially a micro-blogger as well.

Yes, that's right.  Mr Pickle is on Twitter.  Follow me at @DylansPickles.  For those of you who don't know, that means http://twitter.com/DylansPickles.  So, now I can send you more frequent bits that normally would not make a post here.

But, as you may have noticed already, my Tweets will show up at the top of this page, where I've installed a new gadget.

Enjoy!

And We're Back!

No excuses, right, but the internet was down for over a week.  Too much happened over that time, so we won't rehash.  If you really want to know the missing details, just call.

But, I did participate in my first marathon.  Over the past month or so, we have been logging miles as part of the St Jude Marathon's Family Race.  On race day, we just did one mile.

The last leg of the race led us through the center field wall at AutoZone Park (home of the Memphis Redbirds, the AAA affiliate of the StL Cardinals).  I rode in the stroller until we arrived at the stadium, at which point I had to get out and push the stroller myself.  Once inside the stadium, the family course led us around the left field warning track, through the finish line, and then down the third base foul territory.

I forgot about the stroller as we crossed the finish line, as I was distracted by Rocky the Redbird.  He was so cool that I just ran and jumped up into his arms.

Take a look:

I really liked the big numbers on the wall in left field, too:
