Even more photos (keep scrolling!)

Katie's new dress from Paris (thanks Tom, Lesia and cousins Peter and Daniel!)

Pushing the cart at Costco (straight to the diaper aisle, please!).

Yup, even the Kennedy Center advertises its performances at Costco. We kid you not!

Finally, more photos!

At the Kennedy Center following Eugene's Christmas concert with Choral Arts.

Groupies!

Katie's first packing peanuts. Bad for the environment, but fun for her until her generation gets to clean up the mess (sorry, kid!)


A gift to Julie from her brother, but equally as useful for Katie! Click to enlarge the image so you can read the fine print.

Who's more excited about this gift?

Wow

Katie has been great just grand. She has been climbing stairs, as if it was something she has done all her life. We went out for kabobs last night and she chowed down on Persian flatbreads, rice, and chicken and beef kabobs.

Our big musicial news is that Katie just correctly sang the first five notes to Beethoven's 9th that she hears from one of her toys! Of course, she didn't sing the words, but she sang it to "Ba." It was a one performance show for today.

Good girl!

Katie's First Holiday Season

Eugene and Katie hanging out "Christmas style". Katie is sporting a beautiful handmade sweater by Sally!

Katie's first painting!

Little Katie had fun with fingerpainting today! Her teacher said she had a blast. Is she following in her grandma's footsteps?

A first! Now it's really time to babyproof (and lift the railing)!

Thanksgiving!

Thankgiving was fun as always. We spent a little extra time in NJ visiting family and Princeton.

Great Turkey, Uncle Joe!

It's fun to play with Uncle Steve!

New great cousins to play with!

"Um, I ordered the organic strained peas medium rare..."

Meeting friends Teresa and Allegra!

Having fun in the lobby. Where all the cool kids hang out!

"Can I get this to go?"

This chicken parmesan was bigger than Katie! This was the first of many NJ diners for Katie. Thanks to the wonderful staff and service at the Clairmont Diner in Hightstown, NJ.
