Happy New Year!

Unfortunately Will was sick the days Santa and his reindeer came to school, so we don't have fun pictures of him from daycare like Anabelle does, but here are some recent cute shots of him:


Listening to his big sister read him a whole big book!


Hanging out with Jack, who is helpfully checking Will's diaper.


Just chillin' and eatin' some White Castle.


Playing and brushing his teeth -- good dental hygiene and multi-tasking!


Plus: Impeccable fashion sense!!!

Christmas Memories

"What did you get me, Papa?"


"Yeah, it's a little big, but it keeps me warm!"


"Ring around the reindeer, a pocket full of candy, Santa, Santa, we all say yay!!"


"Hey, Elmo's in this book! I love Elmo! How did you know, Nonnie?"


"Hey, Anabelle, Sophie, come listen to this great new story Nonnie got me!"


"So...what are you reading?"


"Uncle Aaron, can you help me? I can't find Elmo in this book."


"Gee, where's my dollhouse?"


"But Papa said we could play with your dollhouse, Anabelle!"


"Thanks for sharing your dollhouse, Anabelle. Is is my turn to play with the doll yet?"

A Discriminating Reader

"Yeesh! It's hard to turn the pages while doing the 'itsy bitsy spider' motions."


"Let's try another book. Ooo, this looks promising!"


"Wow, the gorilla escaped already! But the zookeeper is right in front of him! Will he get caught? I can't stand the suspense!!"


"Say, what kind of trash are you reading, Mommy? Shouldn't you be reading something a little more high-minded like me?"

Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving!

Yikes! Two weeks of no posting!! Time to catch up on some backlog pics, starting with Thanksgiving.


"OK, everybody, I'm here! Let's get this party started!!"


"I want... that one!"


"Hello, 911? I just witnessed someone getting assaulted right next to me!"

Will Behind The Scenes at Auntie Jo's Birthday Party

"Is it dangerous to grab this part while it's spinning?"


"All I can say is I'm done wearing the hard hat tonight."


"Story time!"


"Ooo, this is a good one! I don't think I've ever heard this one before!!"


"I'm going downstairs -- can I get anyone else a beer or anything else to drink?"

Secret Hiding Place

Story Time

"What the--?? This story makes no sense!"


"Time for a different book!"


"Just wait, Dad! Five more minutes!!"
