Christmas sledding

We found a nice hill near Spencer, Iowa and did some Christmas Day sledding. I did get a little disenchanted when I got snow in my face after one run. But we went back to my Aunt "Son-as" house for prime rib and all was better. Happy holidays!

Christmas tree

For $5, we went to the snowy woods and found a nice, little fir for our Christmas tree. I'm actually doing a fairly good job of keeping my clams off the ornaments.

We're moving!

That's right, my mom and dad are taking me to Helena, Mont. That's where they lived for four years and got married. (Ole is a Helena native, too.). Dad is out of newspapers (for now) and will be working for theState of Montana's legislative audit division -- making sure state government is working like it should. I'll miss some of my first friends and my little blue house. But I bet I'll make lots of new friends.

Soul!

I do know how to say my name -- with gusto!

Feeding 'O'

I also like to haul his food bucket out all by myself!

Jacko!

Momma and I admired my "jacko." Dada and I did the dirty work a little while before. I can't wait to dress up as a kitty. I plan to trick or treat at the university dorms, the co-op and on our block. Happy Halloween!
