We had the camera handy today for some choice Odin pics. I also threw in a couple of Keely laboring. Enjoy!

Welcome Odin Samuel Pearson!
Odin Samuel Pearson
Born gently and beautifully at home, Odin arrived at 8:05pm on November 7th. He is 9 lbs, 2oz and 21" long.
The name Odin comes from Norse mythology: He was the "foremost god in Scandinavian mythology, he ruled over art, culture and magic and fought fearlessly."
Stay tuned for more photos as we take them.

No baby yet
Nope, sorry loyal blog readers. Believe me, we are excited as you are. To pass time on a wet Sunday we were crafty. Below is a photo of the boys painting:
We also made a cast of Keely's very pregnant belly. We will decorate it eventually, after it dries:

Nope. No baby yet.
Just a quick note to you loyal blog-followers: Baby #3 has not yet joined the party. Here's a pic of Keely's pregnant belly, to tantalize you all!
Also, we carved a pumpkin that Finn is proud of. This is the first of two we've done so far, the second being, by Finn's request, a sad one with tears coming out of the eyes.

Great weekends in Duluth!
Don't let our blog-absence mislead you; we haven't had the baby yet. Blogger has been weird for us this week, and uploading photos has been problematic. Here is a ultra-mega-recap post from our last two weekends.
The Halloween season began in earnest last weekend in Duluth, with our first costumed outing: Boo at the Zoo! We actually had snow last Saturday, about which Finn happily exclaimed, "You didn't tell me it was going to be winter!"
Leif and Tenzy:
Finn was really excited to see life-size versions of the Star Wars action figures he has at home! We're pictured here with Jim & Jasper, Tony & Esmae, a TIE Fighter pilot and an Imperial Stormtrooper.
The boys are enjoying the sunnier days by helping us in the yard. Here they are playing in the big pile of leaves they raked. They're also very proud of their wood-stacking abilities.
This weekend, we had a fun and family-filled weekend to celebrate a mother blessing for Keely on Saturday and a party on Sunday for Leif's upcoming second birthday. In addition to many, many friends, both sets of grandparents were here, as well as Auntie Erika and Aunt Nicole & Uncle Sam.
Here are Keely and her women friends at her mother blessing. I wasn't there, obviously, but Keely says it was an emotional and empowering morning that made her feel very loved and prepared for the birth! Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate her!
Hiking with the grandparents along Chester Creek:
Leif's birthday party was another great event with tons of friends coming out on the beautiful fall day to play.
Pinata frenzy!
Several boys congregating around the lego table:
Future Auntie Keely and future mom Nicole:
Shiver me timbers! The boys be pirates!
Post-party, we took a hike in the woods of Hartley, enjoying the awesome weather.
The birthday boy, enjoying his cake and ice cream.
Family dinner!

Look at our new digs
Grandparents Pearson and Johnson have been generous with the new fall wardrobes, so here's a post of the boys in their new outfits and such. Enjoy.
Finn is getting pretty darn good at writing his and Leif's names.
Pajamas! (Although Finn is shy showing his new monster pj's.)

Twin Making Sounds cover Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twin Making Sounds just got out of the studio and wanted to drop their new rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the masses. Enjoy! (Kudos/apologies to Kanye West & T-Pain for gratuitous use of autotune.)
Fall fun!
Colder weather has finally arrived in Duluth, and the boys are looking adorable in their fall gear.
Here's Finn using a stick as a "crawzangle," a tool that, according to him, moves coals on a fire.
Here are the boys and their "mad eyes."
The waves on Superior are awesome today. Keep in mind that this is the same beach we frequent in the summer and of which we frequently posted pics of.

Twin Making Sounds: The first single
Finn and Leif's new band, Twin Making Sounds has recorded their first single today! Here's the self-titled track!
How we did it:
Finn built the first two samples on GarageBand, using the musical typing function and playing the instruments of his choice: piano and drums. I looped those bits and he was done.
Leif then chose another drum loop and recorded the vocals.
Voila! Music!
