Dont worry your need of Milo pictures will soon be quenched! Followed by pictures of the new apartment! It makes being inside a nice expierence, much different than the snowy world we live in!
No really it wont stop. I think something is broken.... I have asked them to look into it, I was told that they .."are working on it"......

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the long pause between posts.
Life has been a little busy the last few weeks. A big thing we have been doing is finding a new Apartment! It has been a long serch, Jenna was doing alot of work on her own, looking at 15 different apaertments. We lucked out and have found something that met our every need. We will have pictures of it soon. After we move we are off to Philadelpha for a wedding that Jenna is in. So we will see some of you soon......

Hello all. I just want to say that this has been a hard time for us here in Maine. Living among throngs of Pats fans. Every thing was ok till FredEx opened his mouth. Lets just say that im glad the game is about to be played, though it seems the Iggles can win by only a long shot, We still keep the faith.

Dad got to take Milo out for a little morning of sleding the other day. He never would have thought of it, a co-worker brought it up to him. Chris raised the obviuos question"Isn't he to young?" his reply was that he had his first son out in the snow at 6 months! Emboldened with the idea Chris went out and bought a sled promptly. Milo wasn't imprerssed as much as we expected, but he did seem to enjoy being out in the snow, propped against the back pack.

making new strides in the cold cold

This evening, we officially baby-proofed the living room. Its quite a scene, cast off sofa cushions line the "off limit" sectors of our newly sparse living quarters. Baby gates were bought and put up after Milo walked holding the wall into the kitchen last night. It is amazing how quickly it happens. Yesterday was also his first big day crawling. He crawled 3 feet and than plunked down, put his head on the floor and cried in exhaustion. My favorite new thing that he has been doing is mmmmmmmming everything. When he eats he mmmmmms, when he points he mmmmmms and now he has added a few baba, mamas and an occasional oma to the repitoire.......This make his Oma very happy. For those who don't know my Mom, Sandy is called Oma.
Milo has seemed to been stepping up his game now that we are stuck in the house. Today marked a record 3 days that we hadn't broached the threshold of the front door. Temperatures were a whopping 6 degrees as a high and tomorrow its getting worse. I believe the high will be 0. We did leave this evening and it wasn't so terrible. We went to the store with Chris in tow, so he got to warm up the car, which makes a huge difference. Tomorrow we have a play date in Saco, which is about 20 minutes from here. Milo and I are looking forward to the fun, lord know we need it.
I hope all are well out there in whichever land your in.
Keep warm.

Are we there yet?

WE all know that Maine has a cold winter, {well not really colder, just a lot longer!} But did you know the sun here is magical in how close it feels in the sky.
You can see some of the beautiful light we get in this photo. Jenna was out walking on a sunny day with Milo.

Well nothing else in Milo's life has been what the norm has predictaed. We have been joking about it for a while now, but he really does say "mom!" All the books said the first word would be Dada, but no, Milo has been squeaking out MA MAMa MA MA MAma MAMAMA....! ok well, i know you have been waiting for some new photos, there has been some difficulty get them posted, but here is a link to look at them in the RAW.....
