Too Long

Its easy to get caught up and before you know it its been nearly 4 weeks since my last post. Thanks to some creative dating, you'll forget that its been so long... these are not the droids you're looking for...
I'll blame the Patriots lack of losing and the Celtic's hot start... Speaking of the Patriots, have I mentioned Jacob's "touchdown" trick? Soon enough I'll capture it on video and get it posted here. Which reminds me, the short film shown here was written, shot and acted by Uncle Ross, back at Jacob's birthday party... Bravo.
Not quite sure how to follow that...

Sunrise isn't so bad...

I really didn't mind waking up with Jacob on the morning I shot this picture. In Maine we slept in the same room as him and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw us, and decided he was up and ready to go.
Thats been different since we've been home, as he's been fighting an illness all week. Alyson took the little guy to the doctor on Thursday after he'd had a fever off and on for a few days. Turns out, we've got our first ear infection. I guess it could be worse (says Daddy who feels fine), a lot of kids have had multiple ear infections by the time they reach 15 months. He's fighting through it as best he can. I think his least favorite part so far is the amoxicillin, which is funny, because i remember loving that bubble gum deliciousness...

Happy Thanksgiving

It’s a little late, but I need to recognize of my favorite holidays. This picture pretty much sums up what we are thankful for…. Jacob in his Thanksgiving Day finest.
Hope everyone had a great day and ate way too much, like me.
We were up in Maine with Alyson's parents and her brother's and their families... We had a fantastic time. We, except for Jacob, he still thinks he's much better at walking than he really is. He managed to fall and bump and scratch himself on just about every surface in the house. When we came home he looked as if he went about 12 rounds... but you should have seen the other guy...

Happy Birthday Aunt Selma!

These pretzels are making me thirsty! (Jacob thinks to himself while searching for his sippy cup). Today we were in Holyoke MA to help celebrate Aunt Selma’s Birthday. It was great to see everyone, and the brunch buffet worked out nicely as well, although I don’t think Ross will try chocolate covered cucumbers again.

Nice shot

Some of you may be aware that I've been known to take a picture or two, here and there. Well its true, in fact you can check out some of my recent SHOTS (before you look, be aware Jacob does not appear in this group of photos)... The picture you see to the left is not my own. It is a gorgeous shot of a flower taken somehere in the hills of Sumatra, Indonesia, by either Haviva or Howie... I'm going to guess it was Haviva. EDIT, i guessed wrong, it was Howie. I posted a link to their blog back in January, but its certainly worth checking it out again.
