Yoda!

Mom and Dad came from New Jersey for trick-a-treatin and James loved every minute of it. We had a full day which included visiting Madrina (god-mamma Jeannette) in Willow Glen so that Uncle Mike could do a halloween photo shoot. In the evening we went to Tait Street in Los Gatos for some T&T. The street was closed for the evening and there were tons of people dressed up! It was a good time.

Mr. James is ready for winter!

2 kids + hot weather = POOL TIME! (oh and some wagon riding too)
Here are some pics of James & Abbie having some fun in the sun!

Last weekend we went to Carmel with the family. James got a kick of Uncle Joe boogy boarding. He couldn't stop laughing when Joe would wipe out! Some pics of James, Nana (Brifi), andMom. Joe is boogy boarding in the ocean somewhere!

James' First Birthday

Our little boy turned 1 this month. Time really does fly by. We had a small party with the family and James enjoyed all the attention, new toys, and eating the cake. Grandpa and Grandma from the east coast were able to come to Cali and join in on the festivities. It was a beautiful afternoon. James had the biggest grin on his face all day.

Uncle Michael does photography on the side and took some fantastic photos. These are only a few.

Vroom! Vroom!

We celebrated Grandma's (Vovo) birthday yesterday morning at Hobie's. James insisted on driving there.

He really said Mama!

James & Daddy

Peter tries to get home every night for bath time. When he does James loooves it. Peter will wear his shark or froggie hoody towel and dance around for James. He cracks up every time. It even cracks Mommy up! Here is a picture of Daddy and James after getting out of the bath and getting dry so that he can snuggle into his pajamas for the night.

Day at the Farmer's Market

James, Peter, and I took a stroll down the hill from our house and into downtown to the farmer's market on Sunday. James loved watching all the people walking around and enjoyed the band that was playing. We found a nice spot in the shade to eat lunch and nibbled on a couple of fresh strawberries. After lunch, James walked around a little bit and spotted a little black bird! He loves birds...every time he hears one chirping he watches intensely and says...bird! Here is a picture of him smiling at the little black bird.

First Steps!

All right..they were really hi ssecond set of steps...but that's because it took a minute to get the video cam and turn it on! James at 81/2 months.
