Happy New Year

2013 will be very hard to top!

Supported sitter

Such a strong boy! Thomas is sitting (and playing) supported by the Boppy pillow.

Merry Christmas!

Thomas is 5 months old

Thomas is now at daycare in the Starbucks building in a class with five other babies. He adjusted very well and has teachers who just adore his shrieks and laughs. Mama gets to visit him as much as she can during the day, making the transition to a working mom again a little easier.

Visiting Santa

We went back to our old neighborhood and saw Santa at Swanson's Nursery. We got to visit with a couple of Santa's reindeer and Curly the camel. Avery loved chatting with Santa about all things Christmas.

A budding architect

Avery was excited to share her "15-room bug house."

Avery expands her extracurriculars

Avery loves trying new things. She has been taking dance class once a week for the past year and today started karate! I think she was more interested in the uniform than the breathing and stretching, but still lots of fun. 

It's beginning to look a lot...

like Christmas! We were busy today putting up the outside lights (yes, there was a Griswold countdown) and putting up the tree and stockings. More to come soon!

Turkey Day

Poor little guy couldn't share in the delicious turkey dinners (yes, plural!) we enjoyed with family. Avery's appetite was up to the challenge though.
