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?

Fall in New England

It has been a strikingly beautiful fall here in Massachusetts. We've had gorgeous weather, radiant foliage, and fallen leaves in quantities that these former city slickers can't remember ever seeing. Louise loves playing "needle in the leaf stack" and "it's raining leaves" whenever she plays in the yard.

I know this blog has been terribly neglected...

But we've been so busy. More catch up to come.
