Dad I have to go potty!

There is a unwriten rule in parenting - the more layers of clothing the child has on (each layer they can not remove by themselves counts twice) - the quicker they have to use the potty! =)

We had our first real snow fall of the season last weekend (6 inches or so). Z and I spent the day shoveling, sledding, and of course removing multiple layers of clothing the second we were ready to go out.

I highly recommend sledding with a 3 year old if you get the chance. Not much else makes you feel that good while battling frost bite!!

Happy Hanukah or Chanulah or Hanukkah or ...

The best way to celebrate Hanukah is with family and friends. Thanks to everyone who made it the best Hanukah. Bub and Zade make the 1600 miles seperating us seem really really small - and thats a good thing!

Start with lighting the menorah!

Bub and the boys!


Nothing says Hanukah like an alligator on a leash! Watch out Bub!

Z got his first train set! Geo Trax is a lot of fun and D had the joy of putting it together with the help and guidance of Zade and Bub. Where would he be without them.

The biggest surprise of this years Hanukah was that Zade's latkes were really good!
