November 19, 2011: Saturday farming equipment!

Hi everybody!
It's me, Julien the Toddler!
Back in November, we spent the Thanksgiving holiday with my mommy's family in Chicagoland. We celebrated my grandmother's 80th birthday, as well as Thanksgiving. We also visited a variety of friends and family.
The Saturday before Thanksgiving, I spent the day with my parents' friend Jenny, who lives in Chicagoland and is especially a very good friend of Aunt Nancy. I previously met her because she helped take care of me on the day of Daddy X's funeral, which was extremely sweet. She goes to a farm to ride horses, and invited me to join her during our Thanksgiving trip.

November in the Mid-West is going to be cold, so I was dressed and ready for the weather!

As much as I enjoyed seeing the animals, I really enjoyed seeing the farm where they lived.

I really love construction machinery, and the farm had this gigantic front-loading bulldozer!

I even got to stand in the mouth. Imagine how large this is! You know that I'm a tall guy as it is.

Here's the picture of me in front of the front loader once again, just so you can imagine the size.
I had a fantastic day with Jenny!
Aunt Nancy is very lucky because she can see Jenny a lot. However, I don't think they play with the construction trucks together as much.
Love,
Julien the Toddler

Aunt Nancy & Uncle Glenn visit me over Labor Day Weekend 2009

It's been awhile but at long last I am posting some pictures and memories from Labor Day 2009. Aunt Nancy and Uncle Glenn visited and met me for the first time. It was a great visit! We spent time at home, visited with family and friends, and saw various parts of San Francisco!
Here we are in front of the Grateful Dead house in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. We also went to a chocolate cafe and the Giant Robot store.
Aunt Nancy and me in Golden Gate Park.
Uncle Glenn and me at Yank Sing for dim sum - the Mobranskys and Heymans also joined us there.
In front of Cupid's Arrow on the Embarcadero. In August 2005, Nancy and Glenn got engaged right at this spot!
With my other Aunt and Uncle! We all got together at Il Fornaio for Monday night dinner.
I got to see Aunt Nancy and Uncle Glenn in Chicago in October and Thanksgiving. I can't wait for them to return!
