December 2011 in Rochester

Short stay in Rochester during the month of December.  We will be off to Utah at the end of December to spend Christmas with family and so Steven can begin his final clinical experience at TOSH in Murray.  Here is a bit of what we did in Rochester in December.

MEET BABY ALLIE:

My best friend Kristen had the most beautiful little girl on November 30.  Roxanne and I can't get enough of Baby Allie

CHRISTMAS COOKIE EXCHANGE:

These girls were some of the first people I met in Rochester.  They have become my best friends ever!

BREAKFAST WITH FROSTY:

We took Jasper to Breakfast with Frosty in Webster.  Too bad he was so sick that day that we had to leave early!

HANGING WITH DAD AND KIKI:

Always have to have one of those pics!

MEETING SANTA:

This meeting went a lot smoother than I thought. 

KICKIN' IT WITH KIKI UNDER THE BED:

MY ANGEL BOY BY THE TREE:

November 2011

Nothing makes him happier than a movie with his cars

CHEESE!

The Christmas tree was up in mid-November

Thanksgiving with the cousins

Stokoye Farm

Some art time

Faking nap time

Jasper was able to come to the ultrasound with us this month. He found out that instead of having a "baby gull" as he so badly wanted he would be the big brother to a LITTLE BROTHER!

Halloween Night :

The fire dept. drives around the neighborhoods. Jasper was in heaven that they let him sit on the fire engine!

And some much needed rest with his cars after the long weekend.

It's hard for me to believe that Jasper is already two. He never fails to amaze us with his funny candor and knowledge about EVERYTHING. He is a smart, independent, sensitive, fun, obedient, loving, intuitive, faux-hawk sporting, absolute ALL BOY. Love this kid to the ends of the galaxy and back. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST AMAZING BOY EVER!!

October 2011--Part I

We took TONS of pictures in October! This is one of my favorite months of the year--the beginning of fall and festivities and, of course, Jasper's birthday! We also had a special visit from PopPop this month. This post is the first half of the month.

FUTURE DPT JASPER

Daddy caught this salmon on Lake Ontario.

Looks like it just may eat my little boy!

Nothing says "COOL" like sunglasses and an old man's fishing hat!

I wonder who won the staring contest--the donkey or Jasper.

MENDON PONDS--Feeding the birds

Ruby is showing Jasper how to hold the food in your hand so the birds will land and take a nibble. The nibble was not such a nice sensation.
