We probably have some other games we can play too. Also we have Xbox 360 too, so if you wanna game with us shoot us an email, well game it up.

lil update

Jasper and I have been getting over being sick, Jasper is all better and I still have a cough.
Today is sunny and warm so he is outside playing and having fun.
I am thinking about our impending move, our lease is up at the end of the month and I can't wait to move. We are looking to move closer to family, so we aren't such an island to ourselves. I think it'll be a good thing to have a fresh start too.
Jasper as been adjusting pretty well to losing Elise, he's to the point now where he can talk about it more, still hard for us both though. I'm proud of him, he's an amazing kid.

been a while

Hi all,
I know it's been a while, Jasper and I have been laying low and taking some time to ourselves.
We had a great new years out at Suanne and John's house...


and today Jasper lost his first baby tooth. I was so excited, what a milestone.
Jasper looked at me with confusion and said sadly, "Why are you so excited daddy, I'm not excited, my tooth fell out.". He was a little upset about parting with his tooth, that passed as I took him to a mirror and showed him his "grown up tooth" that is poking out where his missing tooth was and explained the process.
This all brings back a funny memory of Elise and Jasper. When Jasper was younger maybe about two years old, Elise was telling Jasper that when he's grows older he will lose his baby teeth and get his adult teeth. Something was lost in translation
because Jasper took it as all his teeth all going to fall out. It took a few minutes to explain, but the look of horror on his face was priceless, poor kid. He was all laughs after he understood and we had family giggles about it for a week.

merry christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!!!
Unfortunately Jasper and I managed to get a nasty cold, so we had to cancel/delay our Christmas plans.
However we are making the best of it and I am not totally unprepared to do a nice Christmas here.

What a day, this afternoon the snow started coming down like crazy.
(as always click on the pics to see full size)

More Snow

We last night we got 6-12" of snow. It's snowing now and the forecast calls for more. I've never seen this much snow here.
It really makes me miss Minnesota, I lived in the St. Paul Minneapolis area for almost two years and loved it there.


me bundled up.


Rosemary and Snow. (last night)




From today!

snow

We have been getting a lot of snow.
The headline of the local paper read something to the effect of "Fun and Troublesome" which I think stated it rather well.
I have been avoiding driving as much as possible, and Jasper has made an effort to stay in and warm. He did have an outing into the snow the other day though, which concluded with cuddling and hot cocoa. These pictures are from the first snowy day.

Happy Thanksgiving

Some days it's harder to find things to be thankful for.
Still, there are undeniable things in my life I can't help but be thankful for.
The support given by friends and family(Pagliacci included) through all that my family went through this year. We couldn't have made it through without all of you.
What I'm most thankful for though is that in the short time Elise had on this earth, I got to spend a nice chunk knowing and loving her, my life is better for knowing her. Also, for Jasper, who is my little smiling beacon through the hardest times. In him is so much of his mother she will always be there smiling back at me through him.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving all.
