End of an Era

Last night is likely the last night that Blake will sleep in the crib as his new bed arrives this afternoon. With that, it brings an end to era of having a crib in the house as it has been up for 7.5 years. Lot's of memories of course - 6 hours to put it together, kids sleeping (once in awhile), nap time, bouncing and playing, and, of course, Jen sleeping in the crib with the kids.

So we begin a new era this evening - it will interesting to see how the little guy adjusts. Will he stay in the bed? When he wakes up - where will he end up? He's been sneaking out of the house lately. The fun begins tonight.....

Loose Change

Our little trouble maker has figured out things to do with loose change or that which he is some how been able to shake out of the girls' piggy banks. This includes:

• Putting nickles in the printer. Printer is no-longer functioning
• Putting pennies in the video card slot of the tv. Jen was able to remove the penny with tweezers
• Adding quarters to the Wii. I understand the concept he was thinking- video games require quarters (arcade games @ Chuckie Cheese, Bounce Around, etc). Jen was also able to save the day with this one.

So far (and as far as we know) no coins have entered/passed through the little guy (unlike his father). Any guesses as to when this might happen?

Continuing Back in Time - here's Halloween 2007

Our Little "Bob"

Future Profession

This was taken just before we went out for the good stuff.

Yes - I surprised the kids. The one disturbing comment:

"Daddy, you need to workout more so you have muscles like

Superman." Enough Said.

Post Trick-or-Treating, Thing 1 and Thing 2 (the Piscitelli's) came to

play some tricks as well. If you look closely at Caroline's right knee, you'll

see that she took a dive just after the last house. She was a trooper though,

the injury continued to bleed in this shot.

Christmas Shots

Okay - so I'm a little behind.... Here they are anyway....

Snow Day Fun

These pic's are from the snowstorm back on New Year's Eve:


The girl's playing in the pool - waiting for summer

First snowman at the new house (and first the kids really remember):

Kids got cold - so in they went. Then Jen and I had a little fun with the snowman:

Yes - that is my "Five O'Clock Somewhere" shirt on him and a Margarita glass in his hand.





















The neighbors got a laugh. We continue to earn our reputation in the neighborhood....
