Big Brother Excitement!

Jack is pretty excited to be a big brother! Ben sure is lucky!!

Welcome Little Ben!

Benjamin Kermit was born on November 9, 2009 at 7:01pm. He weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 19.5" long. We brought him home a few days ago & Jack is ecstatic to have a baby brother!

The last hooray (33 months)

We are welcoming baby Kermit into our family tomorrow! So, this week, Jack got to enjoy some of his favorite activities. Today was all Jack's picks: making & eating pumpkin muffins, swimming at the "cool pool" (Palo Alto JCC with slides etc.), grilled cheese lunch at Dinah's, crepes dinner with G&G, N&P, and Aunt Emily at Ti Couz (including his own dessert crepe with chocolate sauce and ice cream) and seeing "the whole city in lights".

At Dinah's after swimming--our last family of 3 outing!

Hooray for the Hot Dog! (Jack, 33 months)

Jack had a fabulous halloween starting with a party at his place and finishing with trick-or-treating up the street. Jack had quite a few clever costume ideas, but the hot dog was his final choice. A funny choice since he has thrown-up from eating hot dogs 2x.....he said, "I not eat a hot dog, just be one."
