Catching up.
So, I know it's been a while since I last updated you all with my latest activities. But I'm making up for lost time by posting a ton of pictures of my Thanksgiving adventure in Indiana.

It was a very busy, very loud, VERY exhausting couple of days, but I had a blast meeting all my great grandparents, and my great great grandma too (I don't have a picture of her and me together, but when I do, I'll be sure to post it). I also met my Uncle Chris and cousin Jake for the first time, as well as countless other cousins and aunts and uncles and other friends who stopped by.

I saw snow for the first time, rode in an airplane for the first time, and got to open a ton of First Christmas presents from the Kurtz family. They are one generous bunch!

Since we've been home from Thanksgiving, we've had even more excitement. Arby came to visit us for the weekend. We had lots of male bonding time - Dad and Arby are helping me learn all about football, and they tell me lots of funny jokes that I don't understand. But I don't think Mommy understands those two most of the time either. We just love them anyway.

I'll have lots more photos to show you over the next couple of weeks, so I hope you come back soon and see what I've been up to.

Love,
Casey

Uncle Arby is just one more person to love me. I am one lucky boy.

Us guys have a great time together.

We went to see the Zoo Lights. It was SO COLD!

Daddy is helping me develop my motor skills by teaching me to operate the remote control.

You might guess that all us boys did while Uncle Arby was here is watch football. And you would be mostly right! But we did other fun stuff too. I swear.

I'm getting so good at sitting up, I can now play my piano all by myself. Sometimes I press the keys with my fingers, and sometimes I use my chin. But let me tell you, I make beautiful music!

I'm a little snowflake boy. Grandma Dorothy made this blanket for me. A perfect match for my snowman shirt!

Me and my cousins - Jake, Alyssa, Hannah, Katie and Carly.

Getting cozy with my cousin, Seth.

All the great grandkids on the Rekeweg side. You have no idea what it took to accomplish this photo.

Aunt Julie and my cousins are a ton of fun. I can't wait to see them again at Christmastime.

Grandma takes the best care of me when I'm at her house. She loves to sing to me. And when she can't think of the perfect song...she just makes one up!

Just hanging out waiting for the Ravens to win.

I love this new hat!

Seven babies were born into the Kurtz family this year. That's me all the way on the right.

It's my First Christmas at the Kurtz Thanksgiving. We had so much fun opening the gifts from all my aunts and uncles and cousins. I bet you'll see these fuzzy pants on me sometime this winter. So cozy.

And Katie is an awesome holder too. Her fuzzy sweater is perfect to snuggle up to.

My cousin Alyssa loves to hold me. You can see I don't mind it one bit.

Yum. Peanutbutter cheesecake. I'm so glad to have an uncle who takes care of my sweet tooth.

Cuddling with Uncle Chris, and Katie too!

Grandma Rekeweg made this special blanket for me. It has every farm animal on it, and my name and birthday too!

My Great Grandma Rekeweg makes me smile.

This is my other great grandpa. As Jake would say, this is Grandpa Herbie. I just call him Grandpa Rekeweg.

You guys WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS: I have great grandmas and great grandpas! This is my Grandma Dorothy and Grandpa Tom Kurtz.

Here I am meeting my cousin Jake for the first time. Boy is he a lot of fun. I can't wait to be a little older so I can keep up with him and the girls.

Thanksgiving was my first trip on an airplane. I had a great time - just relaxing with some reading material, waiting for a beverage to arrive.

Ready to brave the cold. Mom knitted my hat to keep my warm (and stylish).
