Aaron turned 10 months old on January 4th. He's getting so big and so old so fast! When he was a tiny screaming miserable sickly little newborn-6 month old, I really couldn't wait for time to speed up so he could get past whatever was making him so sad...but now time is flying by and I can't believe he's been with us for so long!

He clearly finds the whole situation hysterical! He fins most things hysterical though!

We went to Waterloo New York this past weekend to visit Alex's mom's side of the family...his mom passed away when he was a young boy but he's still very close with his Aunts and cousins up there. it was COLD! and it was snowy, but lots of fun. Alex took Charlie sledding one day...it was too cold to stay out for very long but he had fun!

Aaron looking very old and chewing on his second sophie giraffe...the first has been lost forever we think, so Alex surprised us all by producing sophie2 before we left for our 6 hour car trip on Friday...Aaron was super excited!

Aaron saying goodbye to Aunt Hilda...Charlie was in a mood and couldn't be bothered for a picture!

All in all we had a great time, survived the cold, got to help our Aunt shovel her driveway and walkway, and spent some QT with awesome people! The kids were superb in the car and it was a great trip home until we hit the Schuylkill Expressway(of course). The last 20 miles of the trip took over an hour and when we took the back way, we literally hit all but two of the lights while they were red from plymouth meeting to 20th and Christian. Anyone who lives here might know that that is nothing short of a curse. All of Henry drive, Kelly Drive and all of the city streets...all red lights except for two. I guess I pissed off the traffic Gods somewhere!
