Is that Kevin Garnett?

No, it's Noah Brown the big boy!

(thanks Mark and Tina for the great T-shirt!)

I look sharp in my new outfit from Denise
(and I love my Curious George choo-choo train from Elizabeth)

Merry Christmas everyone!

We had a great time with an early Christmas at Nana and Grampy's house
with Aunt Jen, Uncle Zack and baby William.

My new keyboard even has a microphone!

This morning we made a snowman!
(Well, the snow was too light to pack, so we made a snowman's head only)

The hat Tina made me still fits!

Happy Chanukah Everyone!

Chanukah Dancing!

Things are really quiet around here today!

Noah is in New York on his first vacation alone to visit Grandma and Pop-pop. He has been playing there happy as a clam since Saturday and they will return him to us on Wednesday. (this is our second weekend away from him; last time he stayed here in Medford with Nana and Grampy - but this is five days!)

What are Adam & Serena up to in the meantime? We spend a long weekend in Mystic, CT, at the Steamboat Inn, with a stunning view of the Mystic River from our window.


Now we're back in Medford, relaxing and catching up on all those little things...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Lots of cousins!

Noah with Uncle Zack, Aunt Jen, and William

Nana and Baby William

My new big boy bed is so cozy!

Introducing...
baby girl brown, due sometime around April 8, 2008

Noah is so excited to be a big brother!

Super-Noah...
(this dude is fierce)

My first drumstick!

While Denise was on vacation, Mama and I went to visit Baby William and Aunt Jen.
I even got to hold him!

I love my cousin William!

Wow it's been a busy weekend!
Today we went to the Topsfield Fair!
It was a lot of fun, we saw tons of animals and ate lots of food.

Having a snack on a hay bale with Mommy....


Sitting in a real tractor!!

Apple picking!

Reaching for an apple...

Ezra and little Noah having fun under the trees!

A great big hug with Josie and Hayley!

Fun at the Zoo with Mommy and Daddy!

Digging for dinosaur bones!

The rest of our trip to NY was great!

We played with Gabriel and Sammy (they have so many toys)!

And playdough with Grandpa Mark (thanks Uncle Chuck and Aunt Syd!)

Grandpa Mark is starting my training early!

We had tons of fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house for Rosh Hashanah!

Hanging out with cousin Lauren in the backyard...

Eating tons of food with Grandma...

Watching cousin Simon juggle!

And lots of delicious desserts!

Making potato kugel for Rosh Hashanah with Mommy.

We can post movies now!

This one is from our July trip to Maine.

Cousin William is a little tiny baby! (that's a direct quote)

The best part about having my tonsils out: lots of popsicles!

Just like Fireman Sam!

I'm a cousin! William Noferi Brown was born this morning (3 weeks early!)

Uncle Zack, Aunt Jen, and the little guy are all doing well, and Noah can't wait to meet his new cousin!

Blueberry picking!
We went to Tangerini's farm with Aunt Jen and Uncle Zack and it was tons of fun!

I think Noah loved running in the field almost as much as eating all those blueberries!

At breakfast I like to read the newspaper with Mommy and Daddy.

Check it out! The picture of Noah picking strawberries has been featured in a post on one of my favorite personal finance blogs, Get Rich Slowly! This is the same blog that inspired our berry picking outing!

Okay, okay, I know, these posts are really late (although they are backdated to reflect the actual timing of these pictures).

We had a great time in Maine, until Noah got a high fever and we came home early. But actually then we had a great couple of days of vacation at home.

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite pics from our trip this year:

starting him early on the video games (mostly kidding...)

I made pizza with Daddy!
Yum!
