Some Recent Photos

Two more days of school after today. Wow that year went fast. Sorry we didn't post pictures more often, but the days are all so short! Here are a few from the last two weeks, though!

 This hair salon in Woodstock was great. They even offered a lap dachshund!

 Check out this outfit, people. Let's go Mets! (Why are they terrible again?)

 Sparklers!

S'mores!

GODZILLA STRIKES!

You set 'em up, Nicky will gladly knock 'em down. This is fun, except sometimes for Charlie when he's building something with Legos or Magnatiles..

More Adorable Video

Just two bros, out for a stroll in the woods.

Pictures from Long Island!

Have you guys been to Long Island? It's not all strip malls and people with weird accents! There are actually some nice towns, if you drive far enough. And beaches. Lots of beaches!

We're Basically Monthly At This Point

We're all sorry to so rarely post. There's not enough time. And we forget. Life is busy. Tiny violins.

Anyway, here's Nicky walking/stumbling around Greenport, way out on the end of Long Island!

More Videos! Everyone Loves Videos, Right?

Here we are on the trampoline. I'm helping the little guy bounce. I think he likes it!

And here he is, giggling. How cute is this little dude?

Me and Little Bro

Well it finally got above freezing -- barely -- so we cleaned up the yard. Now we get to use it for a whole month before the mosquitoes take over. BOO mosquitoes!

Oh, I Forgot to Post This One, Too!

This was the big Easter egg hunt. We still had snow! Then we went to Florida, which didn't have snow, and when we got back to the Big House this weekend there was no more snow. In fact, it was warm enough for shorts and we started working on the garden.

Peekaboo!

Here's another trick he just learned! PEEKABOO!

Jeez, Nobody Ever Updates this Thing!

Sorry about that. We need some interns. Please send resumes, c/o Charlie.

Meanwhile, here's Nicky in the bath, doing what he does: Making noise and a mess!

Tubing!

Sadly, yesterday was the last day of the season for snow tubing. So Mama and I had to go!

This Little Guy Cracks Me Up

Not Mexico!

Back to reality. Which means no beaches or limes or margaritas at 5pm on the beach.

 This guy doesn't seem to care where we are. He's just happy to have trouble to get into.

 Taking a break from skiing to go snow tubing!

We tried to go for a hike but there's still a LOT of snow in the woods. Daddy and Mama kept falling into holes up to their knees.

Mexico!

We are so behind on this blog. So behind that it's been nearly a month since we left for Mexico. That seems crazy. WHERE DID THAT TIME GO?

But, a trip back in time...

 Lamby arrives at Cancun airport.

 Nicky breathes his first non-American air!

 Daddy and me in the lagoon up the road from our condo. It's super cool!

 Mama and me in a cenote. Also cool!

 Nicky nibbling on his new favorite snack: LIMES!

Just hangin' out in Tulum.

 Thumbs up! Family portrait at the beach!

 More limes!

 Did someone say limes?

 Walking to dinner in Akumal! Wearing a shirt Daddy bought me in Indonesia!

 Nicky in a swing at my favorite restaurant on the beach.

Finally, a Snowy Day that Wasn't Freezing!

I love winter, but this one has been something else. SO COLD. Mexico can't come soon enough. Meantime, here's a nice day we had on Sunday when it was finally a more normal winter day. More of those, please!

(Not my most flattering shot, but the snowman looks good.)

Look Who's Skiing?

This guy! Here's me and Daddy on Sunday, which was beautiful, a day after Saturday, which was like skiing on Mount Everest during a blizzard. I got good grades on my ski school report card and my teacher wrote that "Charlie really likes going over the jumps in the terrain park," so that's where I took Daddy on Sunday.

And what about me?

Don't forget about your #1 pal, Charlie Dean! Here I am with Daddy watching the WVU game and cheering on the Mountaineers, and there I am with Mama on Valentine's Night, eating Indian food in Queens. 

Cute Nicholas

Just some adorable shots of the little nine month old cutie patootie, who is crawling everywhere and pulling himself up, and standing for 10 seconds at a time and gets into EVERYTHING. But he loves to crawl onto mama's lap and just hang out there most of all. 

Best buds

We are best bros, and best friends. We really love each other a lot. 

Snowshoeing!

Snowshoeing! We finally got a chance to try out the cross county/snowshoeing trails near our house and they were awesome. Nicky loved being pulled in his little sled and fell fast asleep, and I walked around for a full 25 minutes before I made mama give me a piggy back the rest of the way home. (Ed. note: not an easy feat to do in snowshoes.)
