Holiday Season with a Little Elf
Soaking up the Christmas glitz at the mall. This is one of the two looks you’re likely to get if you tell Alexander to smile for the camera. So the pace is picking up a bit as we’re in full swing of the holiday season. Alexander is even more excited Continue Reading
Nerd Alert
We had to post a couple of these. Alexander had soaked his clothes with cup of water the other day at Nana’s and this was all she had on hand to put him in until they were done in the dryer… This could probably be good blackmail material someday, but Continue Reading
Just for the record
We wanted to make note of some of the amazing things that Alexander is doing by his 20th month of life. Jumping with both feet off of the ground or off of other objects into our arms – changing table, climbers at the mall, etc…. Chatting about everything that is Continue Reading
Thanksgiving Times Two
This year we got to celebrate quite officially two Thanksgivings. Thursday, David and Alexander spent the morning (while sick-mama took some quiet time) helping Nana tuck in the yard with raking and weed pulling. And we all headed out to a (heaven-forbid) restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, we are slightly Continue Reading
The Wonderful World of Make-Believe
This little house that we got for Alexander has undoubtedly been his most favorite toy since he first laid eyes on it back in August. For the first while he would watch eagerly as Mama or Papa played with the people and they did routine things around the house that Continue Reading
Binky-Free with a ‘Big Boy’ Train
As of Mid-October, we are pleased to announce that Alexander is now a “Binky-Free” boy! We’d been thinking and praying about how to go about it for a couple of weeks, and felt that between his increasingly stubborn demands for it outside of cribtime and the funny shape it’s been Continue Reading
A-Zah-Zah the Great
Well, at nineteen months old, Alexander has made quite a name for himself! Well at least he has a name for himself, and he’s not afraid to use it. “Azahzah” is now a very vocal part of our family and not afraid to tell us what he sees/needs/wants/is thinking about Continue Reading
Hidden Lake… Again :)
Alexander and family are becoming regulars to a wonderful little spot called Hidden Lake Gardens. The spring time holds many delight of colors and smells, but fall has it own type of glory with the crunching of leaves and the crisp Autumn air. Grandpa and Grandma were able to join Continue Reading
First Tastes of Fall
Grandpa and Grandma came down this weekend to celebrate Grandpa’s birthday and to spend some time with Alexander (and us too, I guess 🙂 ), and Sunday morning we headed out to Plymouth Orchards to get that first swig of cider in for fall. Cider and donuts have always been Continue Reading
It’s hard to believe but as of September 11, we’ve made the giant leap to bring Serena home full-time with Alexander! I think she was a bit more moved than expected when it actually came time to depart from EWI where she’s worked for almost five years now. I know Continue Reading
