- She arrives with a suitcase full of off-white clothing (what better to wear when donning spit up?)
- She gets down on the floor and does tummy time with the best of them
- And she's not afraid of a poopy diaper

Thanks for coming out to hang with us Auntie Molly!
We love you!

Oh yes, he did.


Here he is, just minutes after rolling over this morning for the first time - unassisted and unprompted. It's a blurry photo because I took it on my phone. But do you see the look of glee on that child's face??? Do you see the glimmer of roughishness? (Did I just make up a word?)

So now it's a race... can we outguess what he'll try to grab/touch/pull/poke/kick/lick before he gets there? Perhaps we should just go the safe route: pad the walls and invest in a straight jacket.

And our favorite song these days:

Catching up... Christmas photos

Just upgraded to a "pro" account over at Flickr (yeah, they got me)... so now I have more photos to share.

The latest set is from Christmas. I'm only one month after-the-fact. Not bad! We had a great visit with Grandpa Mike and Grandma Mary. It snowed on cue so that we had a White Christmas and we even got a few blue-sky days in between the snow-globe days.

Click on the photo to see the rest of the set.

More to come soon!

2009 in Photos

Combine the fun we've had with our new camera and the genius that is iPhoto + iMovie and we present you with a movie showing some of our family's highlights from 2009 (or something that should be titled "I-love-my-MacBook").

The soundtrack is my latest listening binge. We all hear Coldplay's Viva la Vida at least 15 times a day in these parts... and I bought it off iTunes just yesterday. Yes, I've been living under a rock for the last two years.

As you can see, there are only a couple of photos from our pre-baby trips last spring to Europe and around the US. There will be more ancient ruins explored, more gelato tasted and further escapades in the City of Light in years to come. It just seemed like the most wonderful thing about 2009 was Christopher's birth. Enjoy!

In the spirit of holiday bowl games...

I give you the two cutest Bruins on the planet (in my humble opinion)...


*Thanks to the Panos family for Christopher's UCLA duds!
