Happy Gotcha Day and Merry Christmas to All

Hello again!!!

Merry
Christmas and Happy Gotcha Day.
Thanks to everyone who has been following along...welcome back.

It looks like we fell a little short on that "recommit to posting" thing from a few months ago. However, New Years usually means resolutions, and this will be one of ours.

Here we are again: Gotcha Day + 2 Years = UNBELIEVABLY WONDERFUL!

It's Christmas Eve 2008 (can it really be 2008?) and we are enjoying an afternoon of preparations before we go to visit Kyle's Uncle Mark for Christmas Eve Dinner and fun.

Looking back, we've left a few gaps in Kyle's 2nd year. It's only because we've done so much that it's been difficult to post. There is lots to tell, and we have a few days between now and the weekend (when we drive back to Philadelphia) to try to catch up - with stories and photos... Speaking of "photos", we got a new camera over the summer, and we love it. We're really psyched to have it. The good new is that the camera takes excellent pictures and is easy to use, the bad new is that the camera is easy to use and takes great pictures. We have taken literally thousands of pictures of all of Kyle's experiences - and we have only gone through a few hundred of them.

I am a bit of a packrat and so I'm not as comfortable as I should be with throwing things away. This extends to digital things as well. Since digital storage is so cheap and easy, I find it really hard to delete even marginally bad photos of Kyle. I am getting professional help but progress is slow - in the meantime, I'm still snapping - sometimes more than before. We've captured a number of "perfect" shots that capture moments. I will try to post as many of these as I'm able to. Hopefully, we won't exceed our Google Blogger limit! Anyway, our catch-up may extend over a number of postings, so let's get on with it. (I will need to take a look back and see where I can make a convenient re-start. It seems like the start of 2008 is as good a place as any...) But, before we go back, here is one of the very recent photos of Kyle that we used on our Christmas Card:



In Comparison, here is a shot from Last Year's New Year's Eve Party:
