A Good Day for Sitting Up

Meara just sent these.  She said that when Roland woke up from his nap he decided it was a good time to try sitting up.  He seems quite happy with his success.

Cara & the Devil Dogs

Jonathan sent this picture today.  Cara wanted a photo of herself and the dogs for a relative.  I'm not sure this was the moment she expected to capture.


Granted this is an older picture but Echo and Delta have always been sweet pups.  But, maybe they are demonically possessed and in true horror movie tradition the camera sees what we don't.

A Selfie Tradition

Meara recently posted this great picture of her and Lando. 

Back in March of 2012 Gus took this one with Rosie.

Meara sent these wonderful pictures yesterday.  More perfect birthday gifts.


My favorite boys.

Perfect!

My sweet baby boy sent me a birthday present which just arrived.  He managed to combine two of my favorite things in one perfect gift.  Giraffe bookends, now holding my favorite Jane Austen novels.

Rosie and Lando

Rosie seems happy to be the big sister.  

Lando is a little more skeptical about being the little brother.

Christmas 2014

Gus, Meara, Rosie, Lando, and I just had our Skyped Christmas gathering.  Rosie unwrapped all of her own presents this year, and she emptied her own stocking.  [Christmas tradition question - When you get your stocking, do you dump everything out at once and then look through the pile, or do you take one item out at a time?  Follow-up question - Does each individual item in the stocking get wrapped, or do they all go in unwrapped?  Or wrap some but not all (as I do)?]  And this was Roland's first Christmas.  He is wearing the very same Rudolph sweatshirt that Gus wore for his first Christmas.
