Family Winter Vacation at Mohonk










The greater Mitcheson/Adelmann/Lacouture family got together at beautiful Mohonk Mountain House in the Catskills for an amazing winter getaway. Louise and Lila took to the ice, the pool, and to the dessert buffet with the happy zeal of toddlers given free reign at a magic castle in the woods.

The Big News

Or should I say, double news? Most of you already know that Louise is going to be a big sister come mid-May, and though we expect her to take her new role as eldest Stedman quite seriously she is going to have to open her heart, and her arms, twice as wide since she'll be getting not one, but two, identical brothers... AT THE SAME TIME.

We're still quite flabbergasted by this news and may need another 18 or so years to digest it as fact, but we know in our heart of hearts, that these little guys are coming to just the right family, and big sister.

Happy New Year!





We kept up our 5 (or is it 6?) years strong tradition of New Years with the Abelys. We had an incredible meal with our good friends at their North End apt. and toasted 2011 properly with two toddlers having a first sleepless sleepover in the same room.

Blizzard in Great Barrington... and NYC and Boston too.



Merry Christmas!

This is a ridiculously large photo dump of Christmas pictures but we're a little behind with everything these days. This blog has become one of the things I think about while drifting off to sleep at night, vowing to climb up the tower to my studio and computer and get down to business archiving Louise's memories and taking note of all the great adventures we've been up to lately.

Louise's 2nd Christmas was a memorable one, especially given that she was aware enough to grasp the idea of Christmas trees, and Santa, and presents. Actually she became rather addicted to saying "Santa coming to Weezie's house, bring presents... big presents" and also "Merry Christmas Lights!"

Slightly scary "Santa" visits Emily and Micky's house with a noticeable pillow belly. He also arrives in a Mercury Sable?
