On Christmas Eve it stopped raining long enough for Daddy and Maria to put up luminarias! All told, there were about six dozen.

Happy place... swaddled up with a pacifier.

More Christmas jammies

So sleepy

Father/Son nap

Madeline also likes holding the new baby.

Cordless baby!

Rooming in the night before going home.

An old hand

I've already got this big sister thing down pat. This time, I'm even allowed to hold the baby (though they keep making me take a bath first).

Madeline, what is happening out there?


!!!!!!!


Mommy and Daddy have brought home a NEW BABY!!

We didn't expect him to be born until January 1, and then we didn't expect him to come home from the hospital
for at least another week, but here he is!


We LOVE this guy.

Trick or Treating

Here I am as Athena-- note my helmet, spear, shield featuring the head of Medusa, and owl. Madeline is a ballerina-- she decided just hours before Trick or Treating.

Here we are with our Halloween buddies the Pumpkin (the star of the evening) and the witch.

If you zoom in, you should be able to view the awesomeness of my helmet.
