Getting ready for the holidays

Auntie Jeana visited us this past weekend.

Sam decorated the tree.

Radiators were meant for sitting.

Here is Sam and Lucy making ornaments and decorations. Sam really gets into his work.



And here is Lucy with Sam, Grace and Nico making terrariums.

Long overdue introduction...

To the newest friend of Sam and Addie: James McCann Fitzpatrick - born on November 23rd! We got to meet James and congratulate Matt and Dana (James' loving parents) a week and a half ago and the entire family is doing wonderfully. Bryn Arnholt and Colton Thompson were also there. Here is the entire brood ranging from 2 weeks to nearly 2 years(you'll notice Sam's puzzlement at all the little people):

Addie update

Well, as you can see by the sparsity of blog posts, life has been busy over the last couple of weeks. But we are all doing wonderful and starting to find our rhythm. Addie will be 1 month tomorrow and I can't believe how fast the last 4 weeks have been. She continues to be a good sleeper, good eater and good screamer. Sam is adjusting well and is very curious about his sister. He's also totally into art these days - drawing, painting, chalk, etc. Lucy is recovering very well and is even getting some sleep. I'm doing well too. Now that life is starting to get back to, well, not normal, but some semblance of normalcy, I can post some pics. Enjoy.

Grandma Nana

Grandma Nana was here a couple of weeks back for a wonderful visit. Addie and Sam were in Grandma hog heaven.

What was Sam doing when Addie was being born?

Eating Sebastian Joe's ice cream with his cousins!

The family

Sam meets Addie

Big brother met little sister for the first time last night. Sam was very fond of his "Baby Addie"

Adela Katsura Jones

Yesterday we left the house a family of three. Today we've come home with a new bundle to make our family a perfect square. I am delighted to introduce the newest member of our gang, Addie.


She was born yesterday, October 2nd, at 6:31 pm weighing 8 lbs 2 oz. Addie is just a wonderful little girl and we love her to pieces already.

A few more pictures of our newest star:




This introduction would not be complete if I did not acknowledge and thank my beautiful wife for supporting this bundle of joy for nine long, hard months. Lucy is absolutely amazing. She gave birth to Addie naturally and without painkillers of any kind. I am still left breathless at all she has accomplished as a woman and a mother. Lucy, thank you and I love you.

What's Sam up to these days?

Cars and Stickers!

Grandpa Jerry and the Model Train Museum

This post is long overdue, but here it is anyway. Grandpa Jerry paid a visit in late July. It was wonderful to see him and Sam really enjoyed getting to know him. The highlight of the trip was a visit to a model train museum. A few pictures can be found below.
