Wow has it been a long time...

"Let's go Brady!"
Uncle David and cousin Jakob gave Althea her first football shirt. She'll be sporting it on Friday, like she has every week the Pats have won - is there a connection there? Who knows, but why chance it. Oh yeah and those crazy things all over her are the wacky velcro creatures Auntie Lisa and Uncle George gave her for Christmas - you can put them together in a variety of ways to create your very own Frankensteinian monster, or simply stick them to your shirt.


What can I say?


So we are planning a big February trip to Seattle - whoohoo! And we bought this baby backpack thing, after researching the heck out it on-line - it is awesome! Althea sits way up high, there are loops for her toys to hang from and she has her own backpack that zips on the back of it...BUT the best thing is it fits the both of us and she feels so light in there, it is so much easier on my back than anything else we have used to tote her around.
The Seattle thing... we are heading out to the San Juan's and hope to do some hiking around and some crabbing while we are there. We also plan to see Jeff, Mary and the pack o' doggies - as much as Althea loves dogs this will be a nice perch to visit with them. And of course we will visit Pike's Place, she has to have her photo taken on the pig, sample the fresh doughnuts and witness the tossing of fish. We will post photos when we return from the trip...


Matt loves to make her laugh - he was swinging her back and forth on his knees and she was laughing hysterically the entire time!
