Well...It has been a few months since I have updated James blog - he has kept us running. Wow - there is quite a few things to write about. I will be brief and just hit the highlights. On Thursday January 1,2009 - Mommy made her now famous hangover turkey dinner and we had our neighbors Jamie and Robin over for dinner. Onto to see Adam and Carmen and the boys on Friday January 2, 2009 - James had a blast as he and Luke ran around for hours. James also was able to see a couple real horses and loved them. On Saturday, we went to visit Daddy's college friend Laura at her new house and flirted with Laura and Bobbi. It was an exciting few days! The end of the month of January resulted in a lousy stomach bug that was painful for both James and Mommy and Daddy.

In February our town hosted a winter carnival with snow sledding, snow shoeing, hiking, food, snow man contest and a snow sled dog team that we loved. James was mesmerized by the other kids sledding down hill. James loved the snow and made a couple of snow balls to throw. Mommy took James to the Sandbox indoor play area while Daddy was working on Monday the 16th. There are many activities and fun things to do and James joined right into the ball crawl and a bouncy house. Good fun was had! A major milestone was accomplished as James was moved from the babies room to the toddlers room at his daycare. The bigger kids have been playing with James and teaching him new life skills. He is really showing signs of growing up and comes home with new things he learned every week. At the end of the month James had a sleep over so that Mommy and Daddy could go to a 70's theme party that Greg and Collen hosted for the completion of a major kitchen renovation. It looked great and mom and dad looked groovy in their 70's attire.

March was another month of fun! It started out with the Saint Patrick's Day Parade in the city of Rochester where we saw many fire trucks which are our favorite of all big trucks. The biggest accomplishment was the finalization of the re-adoption as we had the hearing on the 18th. Way to go James, you name is now official and you new york state birth certificate is on the way! The worst part of the month was for Daddy - an emergency appendectomy landed Daddy in the hospitol the weekend of the 21st and another 8 weeks of recovery time during which I couldnt pick James up at all. That was the toughest p[art for Daddy as Mommy had the complete burden of taking care of James needs while I recovered. What a trouper Mommy is!!!!!

That is the major highlghts for the quarter. Many new and exciting adventures to begin this summer for the family.
