Christmas came to our house early this year.

With our upcoming trip, we wanted to make sure we enjoyed as much of the season as possible before we leave for Russia. This included putting up the tree a little early.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jonah and I made this turkey a couple weeks ago in anticipation of turkey day. He has already been helping in the kitchen. Last night he helped me make the pumpkin pie and helped Dan make the cranberry sauce. Jonah liked the raw cranberries but not the sauce. Go figure.

We have so much to be thankful for this year and that includes all of you!

A blast from the past

When you are almost three, last summer seems like a long time ago. This video was taken at Gymboree in August. Jonah and I mainly did art and music classes there (which he loved by the way) but we also went to open gym time. On this particular trip, we were the only ones there during open gym and I took a few pictures and this video to remember how much fun we had at Gymboree.

Jonah is no longer in Gymboree. He ages out at three and with the holidays and our travels it just didn't make sense. I am really looking forward to starting up there again with Eli in the near future!

*warning, a portion of this video could be considered a little crude

Daddy's Helper

Did you know what a good helper Jonah is? Anything Daddy does, Jonah wants to do also. Last weekend Jonah helped Dan shovel the snow and salt the driveway. Unfortunately, I only started recording at the tail end.

p.s. Don't worry, Jonah's hands are not oddly huge. They were just very big gloves.

p.s.s. Now that I have this blog, I promise better videos in the future.

Here we go!

Can you believe I am finally starting our family blog? I am so excited to have this up and running. I believe this is going to be an excellent way to keep everyone up-to-date on the happenings at our house. Thanks for stopping by!
