We've had a great couple weeks. It's been snowy, and freezing, and beautiful out. One day it was 50 degrees, and then the next day it was 6. I've been off work since December 19th, and it has been an absolute joy to stay home and be with Kate and Cole all day. I have to go back to work on Tuesday. I'm not looking forward to it.
Cole is wrestling through a bit of a cold, and I am not even going to attempt to describe the torrents of snot he's producing. Who wants to read about that anyway? We are doing our best to avoid contracting his sneeziness, but we have a feeling he's going to take us down with him. We figure one of the best ways to keep our health up in the middle of winter is to get out and enjoy the weather, so we've been taking a lot of walks at Cabot Woods and Cold Springs Park. Beautiful places.
On Christmas Cole got some groovy clothes, including some super awesome crocs with little croc faces on them. We can't wait till his feet grow big enough to smoosh into them!
His other big gift was a box of tissues. What can I say, he enjoys the simpler things in life.
We also found out that Cole has done a complete 180 regarding his position on being thrown up in the air. What used to terrify him now brings him barrels of gigglie joy.
Good to know, right?
For no reason, here's some pictures of Cole after a bath:
There's a whole ton of them at Flickr if you want to see the rest...
Something I'm excited about, for which you may not share my enthusiasm, is that for my birthday I just got a new lens for my camera. I'm not so sure about the grammatical structure of that previous sentence, but I'm not sure about a lot of things. Anyway, the new lens is a macro lens (or in Nikon nomenclature, a "Micro" lens) which allows me to take super zoomed in pictures of things. I think it's pretty sweet. It's typically used to take photos of tiny things like insects, but since there are no insects in the snow, I brought the lens to the sink.
Fun! Again, there's a number of these shots at Flickr.
That's all I got for now. I hope you're enjoying 2010 so far -- we sure are! The music is on, and we're napping on the couch!

Oh Pretty.
Why are your pictures always so pretty? Nice to see how big Cole is these days. My my.
Did you hear about Maine? Eric Odessey is moving to NY (binghamton) and we are moving to Maine (Orono).
Perhaps this entails future hangings out.
Best,
