Baby, Baby!

Wendy, Daryl and baby Jacob came to visit snowy Buffalo this week! We loved seeing our nephew...he's changed so much in the past four months. We were surprised to see how animated he was, and how he recognized his name! We all stayed at the apartment, and had one big slumber party. Jacob found a new friend as well: his cousin Oliver (our kitty). Oliver was terrified at first, having never seen such a mini-person...and Jacob's squeals and kicking legs scared the wits out of Oliver, but I think they ended up buds after all. We loved having Wendy and Daryl over...and it gave us a cause to have some nice wine, play a few games, and explore the blustery city of Buffalo a bit more. Thanks, guys for making the trip! It really meant a lot to us. We LOVED having you...
Other news: James and I are almost finished with our semesters (Hallelujah!), and desperately looking forward to coming home to NJ for Christmas! It's been almost four months since we've been back. We can't wait for the Ziegler Christmas party (who's bringing a stocking for stocking face?) and getting together with the Van Wycks in front of the cozy fireplace...it's such a joy to be with family for the holidays.
