By 7:30am this morning there was a new load of groceries in the fridge, laundry was in the dryer, we had all cleaned up and were enjoying Cup #1 of our morning vice (coffee, black tea, breastmilk...)...
A content baby + good wintery lighting in the front room = playtime with the camera.
I think we'll head out and get a Christmas tree today. It's feeling very holiday-ish with temps in the 20s and a cool gray cast to the world outside. (Feels like Denmark, actually.)
Other signs that December is here:
- Christopher's bathtime songs have migrated towards Christmas carols (that's all Mike's doing as he's the Bath Man)
- the Starbucks holiday cup is everywhere
- every morning I start humming the jingle as I peek out the window looking for my very own Lexus with a big red bow... so far, no dice.
As always, click on the image to see more pics from this morning's fun with the camera.

Thankful...
for the people we love.
Wishing you all a day of positivity, gratitude and joy.
(And a juicy turkey with all the fixings!)

California vacation!
We're back from a stay in Northern California where we introduced the baby to extended family and friends and enjoyed celebrations of Halloween, his baptism and Grandma Jewett's birthday!
Christopher proved to be an excellent traveler, befriending his neighbors on the plane and sleeping like a champ during both flights. He's become so much more interactive, talking to anyone/anything who will listen (including inanimate objects) and watching the world around him with a more mature interest.
He's grabbing for objects on occasion and seems quite surprised when they end up in his tight little fists. And everything is tasted and subjected to lots of slobber.
