HAPPY NEW YEAR!

YOU ARE SO MISSING A FUN PARTY OVER HERE!!!!!

Meet Otto!

Gracie's new boyfriend looks pretty much like this guy. Otto is the new baby bulldog who lives nearby. Stella the bulldog died in Sept. and they decided to get Otto for Christmas. He wasn't afraid of her size and she gently approached him and visited for awhile on the sidewalk. Well, this morning we took the same route. Gracie went up his front walk looking for him. He feels like velvet and looks like a stuffed toy!! so cute!!

Thanks Kelly!!!

Look Kelly!!! The grow-a-pony is now big enough for the apple I've saved for him!!!

James-Read up! More snow is on the way!!

Bill is so happy he can almost smile!!!

It takes skill to walk the odd couple!

Christmas Fun!

Katy... you'll be glad to know we had so much in the recycling bin ..we had to use the neighbors.

all in one day!

James had a busy day...a Target run with Grandma, then to Stew Leonard's and he saw Santa right there in the garden dept. had a bunch of free samples, came home and saw Uncle Bill and Aunt Cheryl..then took a long nap.Mom and Dad will be here in a couple of hours and he is running around very excited...and has discovered Sponge Bob on tv!!!!

Wednesday with James

James had a busy day. Pep brought him to school He played with the kids and shared his cars with them. He also liked the sandbox, sat in on part of a Spanish lesson. Home for a nap, a walk (with boots on!) lots of playing with Pep...chicken nuggets carrots,potatoes, and 1/2 of a petit four....now more playing..freeze dancing, block-building, etc...He talks alot and is singing the "James James James-ey James James" song we just made up. Now he is checking me with a stethoscope....very busy.

James has a busy day!

James was home with Pep while I was at school. He walked around the mall with Pep, went into the Disney store, Build-a-Bear....Mrs. Field's Cookies and to see where Santa was. He had fun just walking around. Came home,took a long nap, went for a walk with Rocky (in sneakers) since he didn't wear the boots. Then I got home from school and we played, and had dinner. He asked for a "cake" he saw in the refrigerator. So now he is used to having a little petit four after dinner. He had alot of fruit today, alot of fun with Pep. Dad said if it goes as well as today it is easy. He just took a bath, looked at the duck book, is back down playing...after the bath the curls sprung back Amy!! So he is having a fun time, busy as can be, very well-behaved, showing his smarts with letters and counting! I know he will get so excited to see Mom and Dad!!!

So that's why Amy hasn't posted!

Appearing in reverse order...from bottom to top. Dr. and Mrs. Lawson:) .Sat night we went to a party at Beth and JC's.. so many wonderful friends and hard to watch everyone say goodbye:( James leaving Dallas after , on the plane he was super...arriving in CT and getting bundled to walk in the snow. and not so thrilled about it yet!...when we landed at the airport surrounded by snowplows, he asked if Santa was there. He's had a fun and busy day playing with Tyler.. negotiating turns for the same toy, and Tyler is happy his cousin isn't leaving him!

Oh no!

This much snow in just 2 hrs!...Katy and Rob are stuck with Rocky... they can't tell Tyler apart from Rocky because they have the same jacket, and Tyler has to be in a giant cube to get away from Rocky! Do you guys need a beer delivery up there yet? I know -we owe you..bigtime! Hey ,he may have been barking at the vacuum if it's in sight...or he thinks Dad is outside.

not this time!

ugh. figures.

Tyler!
