First Snow, 2007

Here are Peter and Lex enjoying the first real snow this season. We had a sprinkling earlier this week, but it didn’t amount to much. Today, we had about an inch to an inch and a half to work with.

Minh Xuan

I wasn’t going to post these pictures, but since Henry and Mike set up an entire website for her, I think it’s OK. In fact, they have their own set of pictures from this event. They brought Minh back to Boston for a visit this summer. My boys had a blast visiting up in Milford NH that day. It was just a couple weeks earlier that we had been to the same place for my wife’s aunt’s 50th wedding anniversary.

Halloween 2007

This Halloween, Peter was an ice cream cone and Lex was a firefighter. Lex still wears his costume from time to time around the house … and to firehouse tours … and to friends’ houses. At one firehouse tour, someone asked who the shortest firefighter was. Lex raised his hand and said that it was him. Stephanie hand-made Peter’s costume. The sprinkles are cut up straws and the ice cream is white tights stuffed with batting and appropriately arranged.

A Day at the Children’s Museum

We had a fantastic time this afternoon at the Boston Children’s Museum. I left a little early from work and met the family there. The kids loved everything there. Lex was just crazy … running back and forth and crying out in joy … you’d think we kept him locked up judging from how happy he was to run free! They both loved the water thing where you put sponges and boats onto a sloped ring in which water is pumped. It was near impossible to drag them away from that one. After a McDonald’s break, they both went crazy again with the extra energy. Alisa, from my office, says McDonald’s is crack for kids. I think she’s not too far off!

A Day with Thomas

We had a fantastic time at Edaville Railroad yesterday! The kids both had a blast on the various trains and especially on the Thomas train. They have a huge assortment of trains and rides for kids.

We were quite nervous about the weather as Ophelia was supposed to drench us. It turned out to be a great day, nice and cool, for playing outside. Stephanie arranged the outfits, which was pretty cool. Everyone commented on how cute they looked. There was only one other boy dressed similarly, and he had a whistle and a stopwatch as well.

Peter with the Backhoe,

Peter and I visited the lot in Holbrook. Here he is on the backhoe that was doing some of the clearing. This was taken back in November ’04 just after Dave and I bought the lot.

Peter and the Snowman

Peter and I made a snowman tonight. This was around 4:30 this evening and it was already pertty dark out!

More Peter and Lex Hanging Out

This is from early March as well. Peter and Lex have since replicated this pose dozens of times. They really do get along pretty well most of the time.
