Christmas Morning 2012

These photos are grainy but they're from a camcorder video on Christmas Morning, 12.25.12

Eisai Christmas Reunion Party

My old Eisai pal Paul Marinelli had a Christmas party in Lawrence.  Top two photos are Henry with Lily Lu.  Bottom photo with Mark and Keira Holland.

Day in Boston

We took Henry to the Children's Museum in Boston.   Then we went to the Barking Crab for lunch.  Liane and I ate giant crab legs and Henry just had french fries.  The Philistine.

Return of the Lionel Trains

For the first time in well over 30 years I pulled out my 1973 vintage Lionel 027 gauge trains.  And they worked!  Even the liquid smoke was puffing out of the engine.  Hopefully this is the start of a Christmas tradition of me & Henry enjoy our train sets.

Sweet Boy

I love this picture of that sweet boy.  At the Buckley's swing set.

Thanksgiving at Nana and Pop Pop's

Building Stuff

Top: Henry and Daddy used every piece of track to make "loop-de-loops" in the office; Middle: Henry built that giant house all by himself with "Magmic Tiles" (Magna-Tiles); Bottom: we used Legos to build a car-boat-truck.

First Dentist Appointment

My little boy is so brave!  Henry's first visit to the children's dentist.  A year ago we couldn't get him to sit still for the pediatrician and now he's so mature he'll sit in a dentist chair and get his teeth cleaned!

New School Picture

My baby's school pictures came out this week. I can't look at this without choking up. I feel like I have a crystal ball and I'm seeing Henry as man in his early 20s. It's making me dizzy.

Age 3 to Age 4. The change is incredible.

The handsome boys

More Halloween 2012

Trick or Treating with Eva Cady.

Halloween

My little Monkey!

Henry going to a costume party on the Saturday before Halloween.  Despite Hurricane Sandy, we made it trick or treating on Halloween.  This is the monkey costume he was supposed to wear Halloween 2011 which got cancelled from another power failure due to the "Snowtober" storm that dumped a foot of wet snow on the leafy trees, Oct 29th 2011.

Lobster Pajamas

Henry in his brand new Lobster Pajamas!

More fun with Cheese

Henry took these pictures himself with his Netbook program Cheese.  We've got dozens of the same shot.  He never gets bored.  :)

My big boys

Henry and Mingus: two very big boys.
