Claire's Arrival

January 22nd was the big day!  We made it all the way to Claire's scheduled date.  Here's mom and dad in the morning on the way to the hospital.

Seeing Claire for the first time

Dad and baby too

And even CJ got to visit and meet his little sister later that evening

CJ loved cheers-ing with sparkling cider

Dad, CJ, and grandma visited every day

4 days later, we were definitely ready to go home!

Back at home, Claire enjoyed testing out all of CJ's old toys

and just hanging out around the house

There are a lot more pictures from Claire's first days - click here to see the rest.

CJ's First Soccer Team

Two days before Claire was scheduled to be born, CJ had his first soccer team practice.  They did a lot of stretching...

and dribbling... 

and racing...

And at the end of practice, got patches to put on their shirts for things like good listening!

New Years in Delhi

We had a relaxing New Year's holiday and Eve this year since mom was 36 weeks pregnant.  We still had a great time celebrating with friends Nick, Katie and baby Maggie!  There was lots of outdoor fun in the snow!

Christmas 2012

Christmas in New Jersey this year!  Here we are getting ready to go over to Ma-G's house for Christmas Eve dinner. 

 



 Ma-G had an extra special surprise for CJ.

 

CJ really enjoyed opening presents Christmas morning this year.



Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving weekend in California this year.  A month after Halloween, CJ is still dressing up like Spiderman!

 

We also visited the Getty museum this year.

 

 

And back at Grandma's house, we had early Christmas!
