Merry Christmas!

Busted!

Nonna and Papa were over for an afternoon with Malcolm. They were left alone with him while we were at volleyball practice.


When I returned, I caught them in the midst of a Christmas photo shoot with Malcolm. Busted! They changed his outfit, brought a sled for a prop, and used a big blanket for a back drop.

Hee Hee Hee.

And the photos turned out quite nice. Malcolm was a good sport too. Here's a little sample.

Ho Ho Ho!

Malcolm's first snow.

Well, it's not technically Malcolm's first snow fall. In fact, he was born while eight inches of snow fell last February. But this is the first snow that he got to experience.




And he seems a bit confused by it all.

Who said let it snow?

Because we got a whole dump of snow (18 inches and then some more). I stayed up late to get some pics and see the lightning and snow thunder show.











And then the next day, Malcolm got a look at the snow...from the window.

Not always smiles

Just so we don't give the wrong impression, there are times when Malcolm isn't smiling.




Like after he clunks his head (don't worry, Nonna was there for comfort.)






Or when he doesn't like the taste of something or needs a change in venue









And generally when he's done (like done getting his picture taken)

Colds and fevers and rashes. Oh my!

We haven't been good at posting lately due to some minor colds, a bit of a fever, and now a rash. All for Malcolm. Not to mention digging out of the snow in our free time. Will have pictures soon without the runny nose.

Not so sure

Not sure what to make of this game of chase. The vacuum isn't as fun to run from.
