*there's Christmas 2011

We spent Christmas 2011 in Pennsylvania! Will got to meet several relatives and friends for the first time. He got lots of fun gifts from everyone - lots of Elmo and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse stuff as well as cars, a kitchen, and a choo-choo!
Will and his new Hokey Pokey Elmo
Will and Uncle Matt

Will and 9 year old cousin Jake (also a preemie - can't you tell?)

Jumping on the bed as Jake runs to join him

Will thought "Jayt" was hysterical

Squeezing in another quick visit with Great GrandPop to get some pictures made together
Will didn't understand the importance of getting this done since we can't see Great GrandPop very often. He was really, really tired!
Finding buttons to push at Great GrandPop's house cheered him up some

More buttons to push on this "Mote"
Happy enough for a picture now
In the next 4 minutes I will be asleep in the car on the way to the airport...

Will and I were both sick during the trip. When we got home his doctor declared he had bronchiolitis and an ear infection. We started antibiotics right away and he was better really quickly. Maybe the next time we go he will be well and have more of an appetite. Then his Daddy will be able to introduce him to all his favorite foods from home - ring bologna, cooper sharp cheese, red beet eggs, and Philly cheesesteaks.
