It's beginning to look alot like Christmas.

On the family blog, Mandy asked every one what they are doing for Christmas, so I thought it would be a good chance to update our blog. We are having lots of fun getting ready for Christmas, though we haven't started establishing well defined traditions. We went to cut down a real tree for the first time, but when we got to the farm, we realized that we hadn't brought the camera. We looked at all the animals, then went to get the camera. By the time we got back, they were closing. After getting all of the other decorations out, we decided to use the small fake tree instead, and just save the money, So we took the tree that we had decorated on our balcony and put it inside. After all the wind and snow, it's just as well. We have had alot of fun with the snow, trying to sled, snowball fights, slipping and occationly eating a small handfull. We haven't done much by way of Christmas treats, but we have two bags of cranberries in the fridge waiting for some really nice loafs of bread. I hope that you all are having as much fun as we are.

Noah is growing VERY well. He checked in at his two month well baby with 15 lbs, 6oz. He is almost always happy if he his full and clean. Sometimes, he'll even cry when we're holding him because he preffers to be on the ground. He's started to smile if we really work at it, though he usually looks serious or angry.

On Christmas, we're going to fly to Mom and Dads. While we are very excited to spend more time with them, we were able to justify the trip to give Yanina the chance to see DC and New York. We might even take the time to post something about it before Easter.
