Portraits

We went to the arboretum. Here's Niall at age 1, and Rowan at 3.

Quote of the day

Rowan: I'm a hungry boy and if you don't feed me I won't grow up to play video games.

Thesis defended

John just called. Unconditional pass!!!
I'm so proud of him I could pop.

A better class of Claus

The Santa in the previous picture just looks mean. So we got a new one. And then we got a new one with Jack and Max too. Here's the one of the whole gang. Everyone is looking and smiling! It's a real Christmas miracle. :)

The man of my dreams

Yesterday when I was tying Rowan's shoes he was playing with my hair (like he always does) and out of the blue said, "Mommy I just love you so much." Talk about melting your heart. He's such a sweetheart.

Santa Claus

Of course Rowan didn't have a spot of trouble walking right up to Santa and talking to him. He'd talk to the wall if he thought it would answer back.
He told Santa that he's been a very good boy and he's good at listening. (we've been working on that) and told him what Niall wanted before he got to himself.
It was pretty cute. My little man, making his case with the guy in red.
So now we have to find an orange racecar. :)
