Pierce Play Date aka- Jam Session

Riley got to play the drums and the guitar recently at Gibson's pad- he was so psyched and when we got home that night he was actually crying with the sad little whine of "I want Uncle Chrissssss". Anyway, here's my "stolen" pics from Auntie Liz of Riley's Jam Fest!





Riley and Gibson "post- jam" watching "do do do do do do do do doooo", aka- The Muppets!

CHEERS!

News in Photo...

Not much time for a long-winded post about the ongoings of Team Awesome...(yes, I do know that I am a long-winded typer)but all seems to well in our world for the time being after a couple of weeks of nuttiness post Jim's knee surgery (poor boys had that nasty 24 hour barf-o-rama). Clumpster doing good..although he or she is loving giving me the ol' heartburn these days and is a big fan partying till dawn after sleeping all day.

Some recent pics (the most recent not uploaded yet from the camera)...

A warm day post-Xmas at the Jenk's Aquarium with Abram, Jonah, and Auntie Erika:





The boy asked for some pigtails- who I am to argue?

Palaitis Boys (and their p's, of course) Play Date!




"Baby" John's Post-Baptism Party

Did he plan the matching brows and shirt?

During Riley's bout with bronchitis, he had to endure up to 6 "rock-concert" inhaler treatments/day and the "KISS Concert" vibe wore off him pretty quickly and he grew to be quite the pain in the tuckus when the "treatment" machine came out. Anyway, the following picture shows just how far we (including Poppy!) would go to amuse Riley through the inhaler treatments. I love it.

More pics and a lengthy update soon..it's been a busy week with getting back into the swing of the post-holiday back to work and Jim had surgery on his knee this past week! He was supposed to get it done in Feb. and an opening to get it done came about, so he's been on the the mend since Thursday with Nurse Poppy Nightingale by his side on surgery day and me and Riley for the last 2 days.

Baby Ben

The day after Christmas (And pre-post-holiday ill-fest!), Riley and I visited my friend (my ONLY friend in grad. school) Kristi and her new baby Ben. Too cute- and of course, I forgot how small they are, when they're so "new". It was great to see Kristi and meet Baby Ben- it was an interesting visit since Kristi got to see a glimpse of her future, for example, Riley throwing turkey across the room, and I got to remind myself of how much babies sleep and snuggle...ahhh, I'm looking forward to that again, as is Jim. Ben is 7 weeks old in the pics below and as you can see, Riley warmed right up to him.

Unsure...

Hmmm, this is kinda okay...maybe I'll take a peak at him!

I LOVE BABY BEN!


Next up on our baby meetin' list?? We are dying to meet Baby Dorian and of course, visit with his lovely p's, as it's been way too long!
