Playoffs...

at least the bucs have secured a great draft pick for 2010!

Too bad the Pats are playing the Ravens, it would have been nice to have two teams to cheer on. At least we know one team we like will be moving on to round two!

and don't worry--Z will be wearing his Patriots outfit on Sunday!!

Tis the Season...

To catch up on some blogging!

the Newest Recruit

say uncle!

Merry Christmas to All

and to all a goodnight! We're certainly hoping for a good night!!

christmas is coming..the goose is getting fat!

What do you mean we have to wait until Christmas to open our stockings??

3 vs 11. same baby?

sometimes it's about me

not often...but sometimes!

so glad my rings fit again...and also, a pair of my non-maternity jeans! I haven't loss all the baby weight, but it's coming off slowly..and the more of these non-scale victories I see, the more motivation I have to keep at it. Hopefully my pants still fit after Christmas!

Go me!

oh the weather outside is frightful...

We are supposed to get up to 2 feet of snow....but you won't see me doing this anytime soon. (sorry Paul!)

Not that I could go anywhere after I shoveled, even if I wanted to.

My table on the deck is slowly disappearing. Actually the whole deck is being swallowed up by snow drifts.


But no worries, Z and I are staying nice and cozy!

11 weeks!!

I can't believe my baby is almost 3 months old!!!

Center of Attention (making up for missed blog posts)

Z was the life of the Party at Thanksgiving. He was held and cuddled by everyone, and he even took a nap with Auntie Millie. I just love so much sharing him with everyone, and in turn they all love him so much.


He had fun with Mrs. Whipple, smiling and flirting shamelessly. He was wearing his My First Thanksgiving bib (thanks Kate!) and Uncle Billie said we should get Mrs. Whipple a My 92nd Thanksgiving bib. (Sorry if I missed a year or two there Mrs. Whipple!)


It was Michael's first time holding a baby, and he did a great job!


and of course, the party wouldn't have been complete, if Z hadn't shared a moment with Uncle Herbie.

me and Z

at least we know Z comes by his double chin honestly.

sorry little dude.

the Cuddlebear is keeping me busy

Z and I have had the most wonderful 24 hours...following a not so hot 24 hours because of his shots, a happy bubs was very welcome. Last night I slept for 5 hours - in a row! Then today we went shopping, I had some returns to make, and just needed some around the house stuff, and Z happily accompanied me. I even found time to take a shower this morning. =)

Best. Picture. Ever.

Z's latest discovery and conquest

his thumb!
