Hoop dreams

Thanks to cousin Paizley for the cool new basketball hoop! Basketball's easy when the rim is at eye level.

Elmo PJs

First time he's worn these.. Think he likes 'em?

Ready for those cold winter days

Dinner and a show

Vienna trip

We took a short trip to Vienna after Christmas and before New Year's. We were hoping to see some of the Christmas Markets still open, like they are in Krakow, but no luck. We did have nice weather for sightseeing. The Schönbrunner Palace and the Rathaus were especially impressive. I think we'll come back in the summer!

Christmas 2011

We had a fun Christmas morning with JR. He took his time with the presents. He was very excited about his new play tent with tunnel. And he probably would've been perfectly happy to play all day with the new toys he found in his stocking. But we eventually moved on to the presents under the tree. JR really enjoyed unwrapping them -- his, Mama's and mine. Fun times and I'm sure it only gets better next year!

JR, Jill and I wish you a Merry Christmas!

JR sends Xmas wishes (sort of)

Still working on his lines. Special thanks to Aunt Sue for the wardrobe our star wore in this film. Jill especially loves the hat. She couldn't wait until Christmas to give it to JR.
