So Tired

We've seen a lot of this lately. We think someone is having a growth spurt.

The Next American Idol

I'm scouring the internet for a microphone small enough to fit in her hand. For now she will just have to pretend.

O is for Obama

This photo was taken on election night. Fun times, it feels like a few years have elapsed since then.

Unseasonably Warm

This must be the hottest January ever. We were contemplating using the AC last night. Gemma is prepared of course. I think she has more clothes than I do, definitely more shoes.

Hopefully she will be as happy after she gets her shots.

Brooke's Handy Work

Gemma is pictured wearing a hand crafted dress made by Brooke. I'm trying to be as supportive as possible without suggesting we quit our jobs and start an Etsy page.

Its Not Easy Being Green

Note from Brooke: Still a liitle sicky poo but okay enough for a photo shoot. Running a low fever, but she is in a much better mood today.

Sick Baby

It happened. We've officially hit our first of many bumps in the road of parenting. Nonna has been called in to assist.

Photo Shoot

Brooke had some pictures of Gemma taken at JC Penny yesterday. I was disappointed when I heard we wouldn't be able to see the prints we ordered until next week. Stupid Penny's doesn't offer digital files. They are living in the 80's, totally. So Brooke setup a mini studio in the house to hold us over. As you can see, the set design is fantastic! Now we just need a little softer light on the flash and we'll never have to deal with antiquated JC Penny again.IMG_1765

Day at the Races

This is Gemma all set for a day at Santa Anita race track. She had a fun day of betting on the ponies.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all! This holiday season has been wonderful, but now its back to the grind in '09. Gemma has found a reason to smile though and I'm hoping it rubs off on me.IMG_1725
