The Stevenson Story

We figured out how to post movies from Eric's iphone to our blog last week, so we should have more movies rolling out here in the future. And we are getting the cable to our real camcorder soon so then it will have power and I can take even better quality videos than the iphone ones. I know you're all really excited. Well, at least I know the grandparents are! We'll call this video Jack in the kitchen, and then in his room. Springfield is cool. Can I just say that outloud? I guess if you are going to not have any money to do anything, Springfield is the place to do it in what with all the free library storytimes, and museums to go to, and a sandbox at the mall they bring in every winter. Yes. It's true. They call it summer in February, and I think it's a grand idea. Jack went twice last week, and will go twice again this week. Avey was talking to me one morning so I told Eric to grab his iphone and I could let the rest of you enjoy her. But of course whene...

Our usual Valentines day tradition is for Eric to make me a gourmet dinner. I pretty much love it. And this year with Valentines day being on a Sunday this worked out even better. This year he tried to recreate our 4 cheese pansotti dish from Olive Garden. It was definitely delicious, but not the same as the Olive Garden. He made the ravioli FROM SCRATCH- I know impressive impressive. That's my man.

So here is a much awaited video for the grandparents- hopefully you can hear and see it. (Our cute little ADHD child that can only sit still for 10 seconds.) Here are some other pictures too from our quick NY trip (24 hours) we took to see our friend Dave who flew in to do some training this week. I think we just need to accept the fact that it doesn't take 2 1/2 hours to get to NY for us, it takes usually 4 or 4 1/2 because of traffic- and to get in the city it takes another long time, and like $30 after all the toll roads. Being a west coster this is a different thing for me, and it will take a little paradigm shift- but other than that it was great. (Sorry Derek and Jamie- we'll totally see you next time and plan it much better!) Hot tub that was mildly warm which is why Jack is with us. (And I'm not pregnant anymore! Hooray!) It's cold o.k. Looking out Dave's hotel window on the 23rd floor. Tote a baby Sooooo cold. That is a bitter wind blowing on us.......

Doing laundry in the basement Jack in the elmo towel he wears every morning now. She is such a smiler and a talker- it's pretty much my favorite thing these days. Gotta love the morning snuggle You can see how similar Jack and Avey look in this picture Music section of the children's museum in Westfield- love the library free museum passes! More children's museum fun in a space shuttle! Avey doing tummy time with her brother "helping"
