How Aidan spent Christmas eve

They called it Blizzard of '09.

Ah mah had to earn her room and board by shovelling (we didn't tell her we have a snow blower)




Evan had to help out too



but he was easily distracted. Oooh look! snow....

playing in the yard with Ah-mah

more on snow

those jeans are blue


after a fun time in the snow, Evan enjoys a nice warm bath in the tub

Our most recent addition to the family :o)

And it has a 40000 BTU burner. Ooohhhh... LOL

Sharing his bed

In the mornings, Aidan wakes up first and then we go into Evan's room to say "Good morning." Evan will then vacate his bed and request that Aidan go "night night" in his bed and will share his blanket.

Kiss night-night


"This is kinda comfy!"

The boys

I love my little brother


Look! It's an eye.

Gramma's retirement party

After 34 years at Wesleyan University, Gramma is leaving. At the retirement party, Gramma performed the Soran Bushi - one of the more famous Japanese traditional songs, originating from Hokaido, originally performed by fisherman while pulling in herring (at least according to Wikipedia)




Dokkoisho! (give me strenght!) says Papa


Jim to Wendy: "Long Duck Dong? He's here?"

Putting up our Christmas tree

First snowfall of the season

Ah mah's first snowfall in CT. It was wet snow --good material for making snowballs.


A skill she developed quickly and pounded her grandson with.


I can make snowballs too!

Halloween '09

My first costume


note the barbecue sauce on my cheek. Evan had chicken nuggets dipped in barbecue sauce for dinner and later kissed me.


Up up and away?


I think I left my superboots somewhere.

Big shoes to fill

I love me some corn!

What I think Aidan is saying....

I think I left you a present. Here's a diaper. Go get it.


Sleepless nights... check. Torture Daddy...check. Work on my lung capacity...check

Ah-mah and her 'cucu boys"

Modest little guy

He's very modest at bathtime.

how many lohrences does it take to change a diaper?

Disney recently re-released their classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and retitled it Aidan and the Seven Dwarves

at home with the family

Once we got home, we settled down quickly. The family spent most of the time in the living room


hugs for the mommy


they weren't watching the Imagination Movers....

Evan and Aidan

Evan really enjoys hanging out with his brother. The only problem is that he doesn't really let Aidan fall sleep.


He climbed into Aidan's crib


on the couch

Going home

Aidan recovered from jaundice and was ready to go home on day#5
