Oh so sweet!

Peter was working late tonight so I had the task of putting both boys to sleep. Not easy, I must say...finally though, at 10:30pm, both boys were FINALLY asleep. For the first time, they fell asleep together in the same bed. Pictures like this just melt my heart!!!

Apparently I look like a dog wearing glasses...

Most nights before bed, during "book time", we read Jack's favorite book, "Dr. Seuss' ABC's". Jack likes to point out what he sees on each page and almost every night when we get to "G" he tells me, "There's Mommy! There's Mommy". For some reason he thinks I look like a dog wearing goo goo goggles...

And yes, this is a drawing of a dog wearing glasses...the girl and goat are on the other page. I guess I can count myself lucky that he doesn't think I look like the goat!!!

Jack said something else funny the other day too -- he was looking at the bottom of his shoe and noticed a design in the sole that was a circle with 2 or 3 other circles around it. He told me it looked like "target". I thought, wow, he is quite astute and is learning lots of things at school... I then asked him where he learned what a target looked like...the answer..."buy cars; that is where Mommy buys Jack cars"! There have also been a number of times we ask him what he wants to do on a particular day, and instead of hearing that he wants to go to the park or on a walk, he tells us he wants to buy cars!!!!!!!!! I think I have created a monster...

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend with family, a trip to the beach and San Francisco, great meals made by Grandma and an early Christmas celebration.

Grandpa Jess arrived first on Tuesday night, then Grandma Kathy arrived Wednesday morning and Aunt Katie came on Wednesday night. Needless to say, I got to know the airport pretty well! Unfortunately on the way back, Aunt Katie's flight was eventually delayed over 18 hours, but poor thing eventually made it back to NYC.

Peter & I decided to give the boys their Christmas presents early since Grandma & Grandpa had gifts for them during their trip. Wyatt loved the wrapping paper and tried to eat it and Jack was thrilled to get any & all presents that had to do with the movie, "Cars".
