And We Are Off!!!..

Like Father Like Son!!!...

Its snowing and raining outside so we've been housebound for the last couple of days!! Jake has assumed the position of the couch!! He's taken control of the remote control to the chagrin of his daddy!!! Now instead of Sportscenter and football its Franklin, Wow Wow Wubbzy, Blues Clues etc!! The picture explains it all!!! LOL~

Too Much To Do!!

Its 8 days before Christmas and I've just started shopping last week!! I feel just alittle overwhelmed with so much to do BEFORE Christmas! This year will be our LAST year traveling. Like the last 7 years, we've celebrated Christmas Eve w/ John's mom in Cheshire. Wake up at the crack of dawn so we can celebrate Christmas day w/ my parents in Wilton. I'm just not looking forward to doing that w/ a 1 year old! Fortunately, this is the last year my parents are in CT and we've asked John's family to come to our house next year for Christmas Eve! On top of athat I've got to pack up the family for our trip to Amelia Island in Florida.... shorts, t-shirts, bathing suits, golf clubs and accessories so on and so forth!

Back to shopping.. thank goodness of gift cards and the fact that most of our family members will be getting them this year!! I've made up my mind to finish ALL the shopping by this week and have everything wrapped! That's my goal and I plan on sticking to it!!!...LET'S HOPE!!

Christmas Card Pics!!...

Trying to get a tired, teething and cranky 1 year old to stay still to take a picture is friggen IMPOSSIBLE!!! This year, like last year Jakey fought the good fight in taking our holiday greeting card pic!! This was going to be our 2008 card and trust us we were close but decided not to at the last minute ;) So I thought why not post it on his blog!!...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Love,

Jakey!!

Turkey Day!!...

This year Thanksgiving was much more relaxed for me!! Last year Jake was 2 months and breastfeeding CONSTANTLY! may I add and I was a little bit worn down from it! But this year it was so much fun to see Jake movin' and groovin' at Mame's house (John's Mom). We ate and drank really really well! And by the time Saturday came around all three us were happy to be home! Plus Jake and I caught colds! UGH! sucks to be sick and to have a sick child!! But we are on the mend and looking forward to some Christmas Cheer!! Can't believe it!! But here are some cute pics from Thanksgiving 2008!!

The Slocum Men!! Aren't they so handsome ;)

This is the face he makes everytime I get the camera out to take a pic of him! Pretty funny!!

Daddy and Jakey.. two peas in a pod!!
