It's the most busiest time of the year

Sorry if the captions aren't up to par. I had to do this fast. Things are speeding up at the Porricelli household as Deanna and the kids are preparing for a two week stint in VA while I go to school for a week in Fort Lauderdale. I'll miss them terribly, but am going up for a couple days toward the end of their stay. Jude has just started rolling over and sitting up unaided. Christian is using more words every day. Christmas is coming and we are excited. Christian can't wait to get presents and we are looking forward to spending time with friends and family. I just started taking diet medicine from the doc so watch as I slowly dwindle to Mike and Sarah proportions. Also, my nephew Mikey almost caught on to a Santa Claus who looked mysteriously like Uncle Matt last year so if anyone is willing to donn a suit for the xmas party you will be compensated. God Bless

The weather is perfect in Florida this time of year. We spend so much time outside enjoying it.

Babies playing a miniature version of the game RISK. Jude is invading

Either all the oxygen has been sucked out of the playground or Joel Yost is telling one of his stories again (sorry Joel :)

Baby Baker Lynn with her mother, Connie and Deanna (who is secretly wishing she can one day have a girl). Baker's a cutie. Good job Shaun and Connie.

Let's kick it up a notch.

Time out hasn't been working so well, but upsidedown time out is pretty effective

the trinity of trouble. Seperate but one

He grasped the concept this year of putting things on the tree instead of taking them off

We even color coordinated our kids to go with the Christmas tree.

Mike stuffed stuffing between the Turkey breast and skin. It was awesome.

By far the tastiest Thanksgiving yet

It seems we are the parents who dress our kids the same

This is where Santa leaves us presents

He's really happy when he's not crying

Jude and Christian

That's a symetrical face
