The Adventures of Alaina and Evan

by Erin on February 22, 2011 · 4 comments

Alaina and I are spending a bit of time at my mom’s house while Prince Charming works on some long overdue construction projects at our house.  Now that Alaina is mobile, it didn’t seem like a great idea to have her and a tile saw sharing space.  While we’ve been here, we’ve had lots of great time with Nana, Alaina’s adopted aunties, and her buddy Evan.  One of our favorite evenings involved a long overdue Christmas gift exchange and some playtime with Alaina and Evan in matching jammies.  Here are a few of my favorite moments:

She’s heading right for him..  Watch out, Evan!

“Oh look, a camera!”

Evan has no idea what’s coming, as he’s still being adorable for the camera…

Almost there!

Surprise!  The wrestling match begins..

Evan sneaks in with a chomp to the arm…

Alaina tosses him, but he manages a hair pull on the way down!

So cute!  Hard to believe there’s a 3 month age difference between these two!

Evan has had enough.  Soak up the victory, Alaina, this kid is going to be twice your size in no time, and he’ll get his revenge!

Playing nicely again.

Baby’s First Christmas

by Erin on January 22, 2011 · 2 comments

Alaina’s first Christmas was so much fun.  As expected, she had an overwhelming amount of gifts to open between the two family Christmases.  In addition, her Aunt Anissa gave me one of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten -some great photos to remember Alaina’s first Christmas by!  We are so lucky to have such a talented photographer there for all of our big moments, and so grateful that she’s willing to take some time to work during her family vacations -I can’t thank you enough Anissa!

Here are a few (yes, I could only narrow it down so far!) of my favorites:

All The Cool Dads Have One

January 13, 2010

Planning for baby has been an educational experience at Casa de Jones.  One of the things previously overlooked until a friend’s bundle of joy recently arrived was the Daddy Diaper Bag.  How does one maintain coolness and masculinity while still being prepared at a level acceptable of their boyscouting pasts? The solution?  Combine daddy’s hobbies [...]

The Infinite Wisdom of Prince Charming

December 22, 2009

Since we found out that the team was about to grow by a member, things have been…. interesting around here. One of the most “interesting” things (aside from the crazy things happening to my body compliments of this little demon) are the things that have been coming from Adam’s mouth. This may become a regular [...]

Team Jones have been fans of Banksy’s work for years, just saw this video via YouTube and thought I would share.  If you don’t have the luxury of getting to see his work in person around the UK, check out one of his books, or his website.  Brilliant!

I don’t care what your political beliefs are, or where you are from, this is truly an historic day. How are you spending it? What are your hopes for the US in the upcoming years? I am watching the inauguration, hoping that the next four years help make this country better. I am not ignorant [...]
