think he's ready for julliard?

Merry Christmas from the Doyles!

landed

We arrived in Las Vegas after 5 hours in the airport and 6 hours on a plane. It actually wasn't too hellish of a night since River found the airport very interesting and then slept the whole plane ride. We're all still a little off--trying to catch up on sleep, getting readjusted to the new time...

But we're all having a great time with our family. I think I'll be a little busy over the next few days, so if I'm not back here sooner, I hope you all have a great Christmas!

delayed

We have tickets to fly to Vegas tonight. The ticket says: depart 8:25pm

The airline says: depart 11:55pm

I'm so looking forward to this night.

turns out the woman in this house is the biggest baby of all

The boys are being troopers, but I'm very unhappy about being sick.

Thommmmm....

Thommmmm....

*whine*

I need some soup.

I think I'll call 911.

floating

Here are a couple pictures from River's first swimming lesson. He had a great time splashing around, watching the other babies, and listening to the grown-ups sing silly songs. He kicked on his back and took his first (intentional) dunk very well.






























I will probably be taking a little break from posting as I am recovering from a cold that River seems to have caught.

It will probably be a miserable couple days. Wish us luck!

man cold

Discovered at Dooce:

who's been drinking?

Me: "They sure do have a big sign over the liquor store."

Him: "You mean that huge, flashing thing isn't big enough for you?"

Me: "What?"

Him: "What?"

...

Me: "I said they SURE DO have a big sign, not THEY SHOULD."

Him: "Oh. Right. They sure do."
