First real snow

This past weekend we received our first real snowstorm that left a few inches behind. Baby bejos was fascinated with the phenomenon. Glued to the window, slack jawed and drooling, it was hard to tell if it was awe or just another symptom of teething. Hard to tell these days.

Even though the temps these next couple of days are predicted to be near 50, I think we have seen the last of the bare ground for the season. It was so nice to get out of shoveling duty last year with the excuse of a baby bump...sigh

Thanksgiving

Here are a few shots from Thanksgiving. All was well except for the second round of the stomach virus that made it through our house. I am already sick of winter and it hasn't even officially begun yet!

Happy Thanksgiving

Warm wishes from us to you!

Deadlines

This is the time of year when I realize just how much crafting I need to get done before the holidays and swear that next year I will start earlier. Yesterday SG took charge of baby bejos and let me focus on crafty things all day long! I was giddy with the possibilities....
I cannot, obviously, show the actual products because too many recipients may be reading this right now!

So, how about some footage of the child instead.

I found a feature on my camera that produced some fun results with color. Here is baby bejos trying to inch his way off the changing table. Crawling may be in our very near future. Eek!

one of my New Year's Resolution is to get better at this whole filming/editing thing since so many of you are so far away and the requests for live footage are numerous

Self Image

 

How totally out-of-body it must be to see yourself for the first time.

In other news we just got our 6 month stats...15lbs, 27.5" long, one long skinny boy!

Memorial

My grandfather, whom we called Papi, passed away on November 1, 2010. My aunt held a memorial service for him last week in the home where he spent his last few years, and I was lucky enough to be able to make the journey down to be there with some of the family. It was the first time they all get to meet E, which made it all that more special. 

We had some friends in town this weekend and got to do a little hiking, a little eating, and a little baby training for the soon to be new parents. 

All was well except for the short lived stomach bug we all shared. Yuck!

The boys were in charge of fondue Friday night. Check out the fury of stirring going on!
