What can I say??????


He is a sweetheart that is growing up so quickly.  AJ is 10 months old now and has change a lot since we last visited him. He lives too far away and he will be growing and changing so quickly the next few years.  He is a young man with such an expressive face. He has 8 teeth already and is a big guy for his age. 

We had Christmas with our son Andy and his wife Patricia on Friday in Arlington Heights, Illinois.  Patricia cooked such a wonderful meal and we spent time getting to know our little guy.  He had been sick with an ear infection but is now on medications which made him feel better for our visit.  We still exchange gifts with or sons and their wives so it was a fun time opening presents and watching AJ really enjoy all of the paper and boxes. Our youngest son lives in Maine so it is impossible for he and his wife to be around at Christmas time. Apple pie and ice cream with great coffee finished off the day before we faced the Chicago traffic maze to come  home.

I have many photos but will show good examples as the weeks go by, trying not to overwhelm the readers of this post.

AH is adorable. How great that you managed to have Christmas with him. Hopefully it will not be too long before you see him again. Do you have an ipad ... I'm thinking about Facetime (which is gree) where you can see each other as you talk. It would be so nice to talk to the little one that way.
