The never ending Christmas

Christmas seems to never end this year. Since returning home Caitlin has received several more gifts. She received a new car, which she loves to drive around the house. She also received a play house with a slide. She seems equally happy going down the slide or throwing balls or her doll down the slide.

Baby Picc is a boy

We found out last week that Baby Picc is a boy.

Coming Home


We had a wonderful time on our vacation in Connecticut. Caitlin enjoyed doing laundry, making coffee and hanging out with her Uncle Chris. We look forward to our next visit.

Kid City

We all enjoyed a trip to Kid City. There was plenty to keep Caitlin busy for the afternoon. Sadly a little boy tried to steal her binky in the toddler room. Caitlin however had a blast in the farm, fish and carrot rooms.

Snow day



There was plenty of snow for Caitlin to play with in Connecticut. The sledding in the front yard was fantastic. We had a good time making a small snowman which Caitlin enjoyed knocking down.

Christmas



Caitlin enjoyed her second Christmas. She behaved well at mass and as usual made several new friends. She had a good time opening her presents.

Food




Much of our vacation involved food and Caitlin was exposed to some very nice treats. She walked around the house saying, "Cookie," and received her fair share. She also enjoyed playing with potatoes, although she did not like eating them cooked. She loved the homemade applesauce made by Grandma. She had Osso Bocco for her Christmas Eve dinner. She learned how to make coffee in the morning with Grandpa and helped cooked breakfast. Sadly for her, she is back on her normal diet.

Christmas Carols

Our Christmas vacation at Grandma and Grandpa's house was fantastic. Much of the time was spent relaxing and enjoying each other's company. Caitlin pitched in with some music for our Christmas Carols.

Christmas vacation begins

Our Christmas vacation began with a couple of three hour flights across country. Caitlin seemed to enjoy all the attention she received as she walked around the airport.

Our little snow bunny



We had a nice storm in Spokane and decided to see if Caitlin would enjoy the snow. I assumed she would not like the cold. So much for my fatherly instincts.

Just before our vacation




The final few days before our trip to Connecticut were busy but filled with fun.
