Thank you all for the kind words! Will keep you updated. Lot's of Christmas cartoons on the docket for this weekend - hopefully we can get him to stay SOMEWHAT still for a couple of days!

We all came down with the flu last year over Thanksgiving weekend and we so hope to avoid a repeat this year! It was miserable! Warmed up to 32 today - it feels nice! It's been 0 or 18 and 35mph winds - I'll take cold over wind anytime! Keep our three year old in your thoughts and prayers on Friday - have three hernias fixed up. Should be routine - surgery is always unsettling on the littles. Enjoying cup #2! Have a wonderful week!

Happy Monday All! It's Thanksgiving NEXT WEEK! Time flies - but life is good! It was a balmy -1 this morning in the far northwest, makes for a good two cup start to the day! Enjoy your week!

They got much more than enough! And we only did a few houses... Thanks Stew- we tried to make some memories! Today was a two Americano day! Wheeeee!!!!

Good times - the older two are at fun ages for this!

I briefly interrupt this coffee discussion to share this pic of our family DC/Marvel mashup last night. The boys loved being superheroes of course. Little bits was Superman. He’s one month today. Time scoots. On the coffee note - we had that white machine on the cart in the Tonys coffee corner (gray box). It worked well - we got it as a wedding gift and my wife was a barista for a while so that worked out pretty well for me!

I don't know if I post enough for a cap - but I'd pay handsomely for a metal Klipsch plaque to hang in my movie room!

Indeed he would be great for the freezer, but believe it or not, he's not legal and it's not the season anymore. That's why he so boldly comes in and eats our potted plants. Thankfully we have plenty in the freezer from the brother in laws hunt this year. We use the ground moose in place of ground beef for just about everything all year long, tacos, spaghetti, etc. Little one is wonderful! He's a month already on Wed. He SLEEPS!!! You can handle just about anything when the infants sleep!

One more for good measure! The moose likes Italian roast coffee I believe...

Happy Monday all! Our first snow melted away, but we had a visitor in our backyard yesterday - my boys (5 & 3) were pretty excited. He’s a good lookin fella - should lose his rack soon. Thought I’d share with the CC&C crew!

Thanks for asking - he's great! Incredible sleeper too, couldn't be happier!

Good morning and happy Friday of sorts to you all! It is a balmy 15 degrees this morning and we had our first snow dust of the week, though it has melted off. Coffee is ALWAYS better when it's cold out. Taking a Friday off this week - excited for the long weekend as it's the second weekend since May that it will just be our family under our roof. (Long story but the inlaws went home this week - great people, but it's nice to have the house back). Enjoying a dark roast and Eagles station on Pandora. Cheers!

His name is Samuel Joseph Eller. They give you those unisex hats and the pink really seems to win out!

Thank you everyone! Carl - easy man - give us 3-4 hours after this one!!

Hey CC&C crew! After a weekend of awful news, we had one ray of good news! Our third son was born just after midnight oct 1. Everyone is well and we're home! Oh yeah - this is what sleep deprivation feels like! Coffee, coffee, coffee!

She had her 41 week appointment yesterday - all looks well - he's just happy I suppose. I give my wife all the credit in the world, she's been a champion with this. There's truth to the old adage of why women have the babies - the species would likely have terminated long ago!

Yeah - NOW they tell me! Thanks - I'm sure it will all be fine, the waiting at the end is admittedly distracting.

Happy Hump Day everyone! Baby Boy #3 was due last Friday and still we wait! Hurry up already Kiddo!! Thought I'd share a pic from our walk last night. I could drink this season in up here - I wish we had four more weeks of it! Have a great day!

Yeeeeaaaahhhh our contribution to this whole thing is rather pathetic...

Thank you! Ours are five and almost 3. 3 boys in under two years - you must have been the best of "frienemies!" No one pushes one's buttons quite as well as a sibling... Thank you! We have asked the two boys for name ideas. We were given "Bob" ("but I'm gonna call him Bubba") aaaaand Scooterdolph; shortened from Scooter Rudolph. I have asked my 2yo not to be too disappointed if we don't go with Scooterdolph, but he's free to call him bubba all he wants. These are the good ol days!

I thought maybe you were contributing to the spaghetti thread. That's quite a stash! Tarheel - looks like the thread survived some turbulence! Whew~! Onto the next! Enjoying a 12oz Americano from the coffee shop below my office - ahhhhhhh.... Baby boy #3 due in one week! anyday possibilities at this point... queue the butterflies!

Nothing to add other than welcome biglion and it's great to see everyone continually come alongside newer members to help out. I tip my cap gentleman! Keep asking questions biglion - even if you think they're "stupid". Get em answered now and you'll save yourself a lot of aggravation later! Good luck! That's a sweet setup!
