Me, Mischievous?
Brian just had his 18th month checkup and all is well. He's growing like a weed and healthy as he could be, and he's really starting to come into his own. Brian is hilarious. He's got quite the personality. He loves to dance, especially when Yo Gabba Gabba is on, and then clap for himself. But he's also a little troublemaker, so much so that we call him our little Viking. Another interesting thing about Brian, we think he's a lefty.Sunday, January 10, 2010
Say Hello to Princess Penelope
While we were visiting our families during this past Thanksgiving Weslie and Gabbie were introduced to the magical world of kittens. Ever since then that's all they've talked about. So a week or so before Christmas we went to our local humane society and picked out a kitten. It was awful. Let's just say there were some raised tempers, some harsh words, and some feelings got hurt, but we got the kitten we came for and were lucky enough not to have been dragged into that whole mess. The girls name her Princess Penelope and she's been by their sides ever since.P.S. If "Princess Penelope" is too much of a mouth full you can always just call her "Poe". I do.

Happy New Year
Whether you're a fan of Twenty-Ten or Two Thousand-Ten today marks not only the beginning of a new year but also a new decade, and ours started with some snow. We spent most of the day outside. Even though we only got a few inches, which is basically nothing compared to our last, it was perfect for snowballs and sledding, and despite Weslie and Gabbie doing their best Ethan Frome recreation everyone had a really good time. Brian even seemed to like it a little better this go around.Thursday, December 24, 2009
Merry Christmas
Unlike the past several years there will be no traveling for us this Christmas. We're just going to stay home and relax and enjoy being a family and playing with all our presents without having to worry about going anywhere.Saturday, December 19, 2009
Blizzard of 2009
This is the first year that we've decided to spend Christmas in Maryland and boy what a Christmas it's going to be. It dumped about 18" of snow on us today. The girls loved it and couldn't wait to play in it. Brian on the other hand was real excited about it while inside, but not to much when outside.

All Aboard
This year instead of fighting traffic and the crowds at the mall to see Santa, we took a train. Santa's Paradise Express departing from Strasburg, PA. It was everything a visit with Santa should be: cozy, peaceful, and relaxed.

Jasper
Jasper has been a faithful and constant part of our lives for the past 16 years now, and now has come the time to say goodbye. I know that this is just how it is. It's part of having a pet, but Jasper alway seem to have a somewhat mythical part to him. I really thought he would live forever.
