More Pics of the Fam...

Lily shows off...


The whole family...Me, Wife Liz, Brother Adam, and Sister Liz (back row), then Dad, Jacob, Mom holding Lily, and Corbin.


We took the boys to Niagara Falls on Saturday Morning. We were there five minutes before Corbin realized there was a waterfall. (He was shorter than the fence they have to prevent folks from jumping in and couldn't see well!)


Daddy and Lily...


Lily with Paw.


Corbin at the Falls.


My sister (who wouldn't remove her hood...) Liz, brother Adam, me, Corbin and Jacob at the Falls.


Adam and Jacob at the Horseshoe Falls.


Beautiful picture, huh? Only, we weren't at the Falls at night. My dad took pictures of all of the postcards in the gift shop.


Jacob with Lily.

Lily's First Thanksgiving

My parents, brother, sister, and two nephews all came up to visit for Thanksgiving (Lily's First!). It was cold today and we had a little snow, add to that good food and good times, and we had a nearly perfect Thanksgiving! Here are the preliminary round of pictures. Many more to come this weekend!


With my Paw Paw.

Happy Turkey Day!


After she killed the Turkey with her bare hands, "Bruiser" settled in for a little playtime...


My favorite Thanksgiving dish.


Cuddling with Nana TT


I want that pie, now. I won't tell you again.

More of the family, and baby yawning. Turkey's kicking in!


I'm a dancing machine, watch me get down.


I love me some Mommy!


Dancing around the room with Paw.


Thanksgiving Playtime!


Playing with my cousin Siobhan!

Sleeping Beauty and COOKIES!

Lily is wrapped up in the blanket that Nana gave us a couple of years ago. It is currently Lily's Favorite Blanket...to the point that we have to hide it sometimes so that she will go to sleep and not be distracted by it hanging on the chair. She loves the fringe!

Lily and her new teething cookies...it looks like she's smoking them.

Our 7th Anniversary...

Seven years ago today we were standing in this same place saying our "I Do's..." Now we're back with a nine month old, only this time, no tacky cake or candles that refuse to burn. Also, today, everyone was sober.

When I told our neighbor that we'd been married 7 years today, he yelled back across his yard, "That's 49 in dog years!" This is the same neighbor whose grandson called 911 last weekend. The four year old had been learning about 911 and emergencies at school and decided to call in his own dire emergency when his dad went into the yard to mow. When his dad came back in, the phone was ringing and when he answered, the local police told him that the 4 year old had called. When asked about this, the 4 year old responded, "I had an emergency. I couldn't find my Pez dispenser and the cops didn't know where it was either." The police, after they finished their cackling laughter, asked that the 4 year old receive some explanation as to what constitutes an actual emergency, and that while Pez dispensers were funny, they were not on that list. The cops also said that they would be telling that story over and over for many months to come...

On the verge of crawling...Liz calls this her "Revenge of the Sith" Anakin crawl. (From the end of the movie just before Anakin becomes Darth Vader, as he's climbing up the side of the lava river.)

We are so proud of our daughter, and her affinity for Dwight Schrute from The Office. What can we say, she's in love...

New November Pics!

Lily loves her toy tent!

Innocent and pensive...or at least that's what she wants us to think as she plots her next move to grab something she knows she's not supposed to have!

Swiper, no swiping! Swiper, no swiping!

Sitting tall...
