Catching Up... It's never a pleasant feeling to realize that you're a month and a half behind on something. To realize that as a result of being so far behind, I now have seventy-odd pictures to take care of...eep. So what follows is a batch of pictures stretching from October to December, covering everything from Lily's first bath to this year's Santa pictures. Enjoy! |

| Family movie night (a.k.a., "We all watch something about
dinosaurs which Aidan finds fascinating and we find okay but it's fun anyways because he's so into it"). |
After the movie, Aidan explains the vagaries of evolutionary theory to his little sister. |

| Lily's first bath. As you might imagine, it is not an experience she is thrilled to have. |
Thanks to the clock, we have a time stamp of Lily's first sanitary terror. |
Cleansing back rub? Reminder of how small Lily is? All of the above? |

 |
| Although this picture looks like Maria is way more thorough
with cleaning than necessary, and Lily's face on the next picture might seem to confirm it, I promise, this is all a routine bath. |
For just pennies a day, you too can support a freshly bathed baby. |

| The rare Aidansaurus. Only seen on Halloween. |
Lily not only dressed like a pumpkin, she mimicked their stillness and silence. |
Part dinosaur, part Aerosmith singer. (This was when we thought he was still quitting.) |
 |
 |
 |
| Though he seems imprisoned in these nets, the Aidansaurus
is never truly held back by the desires of man. He's only here because he wants to be. And because it's really, really bouncy. |

| Aidansaurus's prey, an innocent giraffe, lies slain behind him. |
Having defeated the giraffe, the Aidansaurus engages in its
traditional victory dance, which involves a whistle. |

smile, and become far more involved in the world around her. |
