December














Jack really enjoyed playing in the snow that we have been getting this month. He especially likes to eat it, we try to remind him to not eat the yellow stuff!

For Jack, December was a long month of waiting for Santa and Rudolph to come to his house. However, he was ecstatic to get drums on Christmas morning which were "just what he always wanted!" He immediately began wondering how Santa fit his new drum kit in his sleigh, though. Jack got his fill of being with the family and of toys and presents!















Jack also celebrated Christmas at his school and was in his first play! He played Santa (sorry, Mr. Claus, as Jack reminds me) and wore his costume for many, many days after the play to spread Ho, Ho, Ho's and presents to anyone who would listen. (That firefighter coat has sure come in handy!)









Daddy has been playing with his band on weekends again and Jack says that his Momma has been "staring at the potty all day long because that baby is growing!" and now professes that he wants to be a baby doctor (when he is not being a firefighter, rock star, airplane pilot or "worker guy")

November






Another month of lots of work for momma! But Jack and Daddy always have plenty to do. Squire is no longer with us, but Jack (and Daddy) somehow managed to get two new kittens (brother and sister) which we (Jack having the final say) named Lennie (after John Lennon) and Lizzie (after the movie, CARS). He is learning how to be gentle with them and doesn't seem to respond to the cat's clawing protests and squirms.






We also found out that we will have a new addition to our family this coming July. At first Jack wanted a girl, but changed his mind and thinks that two boys (him and the baby) would be better.


Jack learned about Pilgrims and Indians in school. He made a very good Indian and also made a great centerpiece for our Thanksgiving dinner with Grandy, Papa, Nana, and Pop pop.
