Something's in the air

Henry has been sneezing all Saturday morning, and if we're not fast enough with a tissue, he wipes the mucus on his sleeves. We have a box of kleenex at the ready.

Happy Birthday, Carol! We love you.

Groovy baby

A typical morning

Morning walk

WHY????????????

What happened to the talk of the Ozone layer problem ????

So, I was thinking the other day about Global Warming, then I started thinking about when I was younger and all the talk was about the ozone layer, acid rain, killer bees and aerosol cans. And I was a scared little girl. What happened???? I'm a true believer about doing what I can to help the environment. I recycle, use tote bags instead of plastic and several other things. But I wonder if human made Global Warming will go away like our ozone layer problem? I'm just saying. ~ Kara.

Chubby cheek boy

Today I had another altrasound and everything is going fine. Baby boy is getting so big. He's almost 4 pounds already. They said he will probably be a big boy. That's what I like.... A thriving big baby. They said that he is breech and that I would have to c-section, good thing that I am already having one! If everything goes as planned we should be having him the first week of december. Look at that cute chubby cheek!!!!!

Our little cutie

I should be napping instead......

I don't know what's wrong with me, but lately all I want to do is cook, bake, clean, and do all types of projects. I must be nesting or something. Today, I made homemade sauce, meatballs and fresh pasta.

All American

This evening I made an apple pie, believe it or not for the first time. I always made apple crunch in the past but never apple pie. It was a perfect ending to a beautiful fall day.

I used a variety of apples.
Pile high.
Just before going into the oven.
Just baked.
Apple pie bliss.


Oh...... this was our dinner. Ham and cheese panini and tomato soup

Lunch at Fire and Ice in Harvard Square

Harvard Man

We visited Harvard Saturday and Henry ran through campus, up stairs and leaped off ledges. He had a good time with the smaht kids.

Curious George

Curious George is Henry's favorite TV cartoon. He was in 2-year-old boy heaven at this book store Saturday in Cambridge. We bought him a small George and he loves it.

Human Metronome

Today at the park down the street from our home. It was about 70 degrees and sunny. Nice October.

Hidden Treasure

Henry likes to hide under the computer desk. We pretend we don't see him and he believes it, proving that two-year-old minds have very limited cognitive maturity.

Lunch Time With Cousin Martina

French Fries and Chicken Nuggets, the cornerstone of a nutritious breakfast.

Raccoon In Brockton

When I was taking out the trash Wednesday night, Kara warned me that there was a dead or dying raccoon in the trash barrel. I took the camera along. The image revealed this seemingly dead opossum. The species confusion was due to fright: our sister-in-law Lisa saw the animal only briefly and it scared her almost to death, so she failed to get a proper ID before warning Kara about it. But I still think it's funny that this opossum was mistaken for a raccoon. In the morning the barrel was on its side and the animal was missing.

Henry's Territory

Henry always plays with his toys on the couch. I'm not allowed to sit on it during the day. He gets so mad. What a weirdo.

The perfect night time snack

OREO'S AND HOT COCOA.

"Say it ain't so, Joe."

Look who we ran into while Christmas shopping at Newbury Comics.

2 a.m disaster

It was a big mess at a horrible time. Jason fell asleep on the couch watching SNL, and finally went to bed when he woke up at about 2:30 a.m. As he walked into our bedroom he stopped suddenly and asked me to turn on the light because he stepped in something wet and sticky. He was standing in a puddle of white paint. A gallon of paint somehow tipped over in our cardboard paint supply box (we're doing some finishing work around the house), and slowly leaked over the floor (see pic below). It took us a long time to scoop it all up and clean everything, including Jason's feet and some clothing that got hit. By the time everything was done it was after 4 a.m., a poor way to start a Sunday morning.
