Change

Just Watch.

I wish I would watch what I am doing when I hold the camera.

A day with Liam.

Liam was vomiting on Wednesday and as luck would have it I had Thursday off.  He was a prefect angel and never vomited even once under my watch.  We started out by walking to the library. We arrived at 9:45AM and it didn't open until 10:00AM.  So I pushed him around the building and by the time we came back to the main entrance - he was asleep.  So we started the walk back home. I stopped at Dunkin Donuts for coffee - he slept.  When we got back to the house I put him in bed and he slept for about 40 more minutes.  He woke up and we went outside to play for awhile.

The best part was that he waited until after he went to bed at night and Chris was on duty to vomit again.  It was a perfect day with Liam. 

Make a funny face, Liam.

We were playing with Photo Booth and I told Liam to make a funny face and here it is.

Happy Easter

15 Months

More Bob and Jackie.

Bob, Jackie, and I went to an art show today on Las Olas in Ft Lauderdale.  Then we went to visit Beth at her store and then to eat a very nice lunch.  They are leaving to drive back to Chicago on Tuesday.  

Liam

I think Liam looks a little like me.

My Mom sent me this picture of me. I pretty sure it is either my first birthday or my second Christmas. They are only four days apart so we won't split hairs. Because "hairs" is the feature that is very similar in my picture and the picture of Liam. And to my Mom thank you so much for sending this to me. I love telling the story that I got so many dolls for my first birthday and Christmas that you put them away and gave me one every month. I probably made up the story, but I think it is right.

A visit from Bob and Jackie.

Bob and Jackie came to visit on the same Sunday as the race. I RACED home and started a Pot Roast. I also made this chocolate cake from scratch. Something I don't think I have ever done before. It's a great recipe from the "Smitten Kitchen" blog. The plate is a mess, but the cake was really delicious. It has a cup of Guinness Stout as part of the ingredients, so how could it be bad.
We had a nice visit and got all caught up with the news from Chicago and D.C.

Brett Runs a Half Marathon-2-23-09

Brett started running not that long ago. I will guess maybe last August-September. He finished the Ft. Lauderdale A1A Half Marathon in 2:40:43. He did better that his last month's run in Miami, so he was pretty happy. Beth, Jessi, Liam and I went down to cheer him on at the finish.

And then we went and had a nice brunch on the intercoastal

And Ben is going to be on Leno!

This Thursday Ben is going to be on Jay Leno.  He playing the song from "Slumdog Millionaire", Jai Ho. He will be playing with A.R. Rahman.

I love that song.  I fear it will become this wedding season's Macarena.  

Ben was on Jimmy Kimmel

Liam singing

This one is for ```1AAJTHGK

This is for Amy! With help from Beth. The title is from Liam.  

The top picture is of Liam blowing the red donut shaped toy out of his mouth.

Great Day

What a great day.  A change is always good.

But!  OH! TOMORROW!!!!!

Liam has a cold.

As you can see it is not in his chest.  From his x-ray (swearshirt), his lungs look clear.

Where's your nose, Liam?

As before the video is not the best, but he cracks me up.

Fast Forward.

It doesn't look like I am ever going to get caught up.  Since Liam lives here, I am witness to non-stop cuteness.  There is no way I can keep up with him.  For instance, yesterday he and I spent the day together.  I took videos and will post them now.  Keep in mind that he is hard to keep in frame these days.

This video was to prove that Liam will eat Broccoli.  He was on his second or third helping and I thought it was safe to take a video to prove my point.  Watch for yourself:

P.S. Sorry for my singing.
