Cookin' and Climbin'

Joss found the stairs.

In the time between taking these pictures and setting the camera down, Joss managed to climb up and sit on the first step, and would have made it to the second step if Mommy hadn't swooped in and taken him away.

Joss also discovered the play kitchen - and sat playing for a good 10 minutes, long enough for Mommy to actually finish a cup of coffee. Pretty cool, kiddo.

Fetchez le Vache!*

During the latest snow storm, we brought out the big guns for the stir-crazy kids: an unnecessarily complicated to assemble cardboard castle that Uncle Eric and Aunt Andi got Paul for his birthday, and which Mommy and Daddy squirreled away for just such desperate need.

They both LOVE it.

"They're looking for a grail. I told them we've already got one."

"Yer mother was an 'ampster, and yer father smelled of elderberries!"

*Monty Python and the Holy Grail references. If you did not know that without this foot note, well, there's nothing I can do for you except fart in your general direction. Thbbbbttttttt.

Milestone: Oh yeah, Joss drinks water from a cup now.

Playdate in Providence

On Sunday, January 30th, we were like masochists in Newport - Rhode Island bound. We met up with Cousins Selene and Rich for lunch, and bid adieu at dinner to some friends who are moving to Spain. In between, we had an awesome playdate with Lea and Brian and Amelia!

We last saw Lea and Brian way back in July 2009, when Amelia was about the size of a blueberry and Joss was the size of a two week bigger blueberry.
