January 2009: Breaking into the new year

After a very busy holiday season, we're rolling into the new year with a positive attitude and hope that we'll be able to see some changes from a fresh administration. Aquinnah shouts now when she sees two people on TV - Obama and Oprah (don't even ask). In any case, here's a few highlights of our holiday season...

It was really nice to have some time with my brother Peter and sister-in-law Molly. And we did our very best to give them some baby time. Although I don't think I saw my bro change any diapers? Note the poop alert on Pete's face...














Aquinnah had some special guests for a few nights - her cousins Sadie and Oskar. And, to my complete astonishment, they actually slept. Can't believe how quickly these little people are growing up.

And then some street bum showed up.

Is he really my oldest brother? I'm so proud...


Our new years eve was celebrated with some friends and fam. The kids partied it up and got totally smashed on sparkling cider. Q and her cousins were hilarious.


And Larson continues to change each and every day. He's one of the finest babblers I've ever seen and has a vertical leap that would make Michael Jordan jealous. Still remains a very content little guy and is a joy to have around. I think we'll keep him.
