No, it has nothing to do with you, Dear Reader. Me & the Mrs. have just been struggling to hold on to our best-intended blogging spirit. We continue to navigate the management of daily life as New Parents, and in-between gawking at Thumblini, working, attending to Chateau Nous, and remembering to eat, we are finding only the thinnest of slivers of "free" time. 'Spose this is the normal, natural way of things, but it does impinge on, oh, reflection and posting. So, a few updates and some photos are overdue:
1. We had a Christmas/Thanksgiving In January last weekend at my parents' house at the shore. Thumblini staggered under a technicolor plastic avalanche of goodies, and chased down every last rippable shred of wrapping paper. The adults fawned and doted, and Little T was overstimulated to say the least, but it was a wonderful time and a great visit.
2. We took her to the water ("the big bathtub") for the first time. She didn't know what was up with wave action, and she definitely was unimpressed with the cold sand on her foot (oops, Mommy!).
3. For ThanksChristmas, I got a lesson in oyster shucking. I even have my own gloves now. I will teach Thumblini as soon as she is cleared to eat raw shellfish and wield a 3" knife.

Thanks for catching a moment to write an update and post some gorgeous pictures of our grandbaby's first look at the Atlantic. You made our day!
Glad you had a happy ThanksChristmas with T's new grandparents. Her other set (that would be us!) simply can't wait to meet her next week.
we certainly understand how busy you are, but are delighted with any glimpse of Ms. T, the cutest baby ever! Love love the pics of her. She is indeed a beaut. :)
Welcome to the wonderful world of parenting! Time? What time? Glad that you are enjoying it though. Also glad you are able to find use for the requisite snowsuit at home on the beach.
I am glad you found some time to update and give us some much needed pictures :) The beach in a snowsuit, now that is a first for me. She gets cuter all the time!

Amazing how little time we have for ourselves now. :)
T is very cute!
Sounds like a wonderful time and love the pictures. Love the one of her sitting in the snowsuit!
nice to see you back on line.....now, you understand why I have two half written novels sitting in my desk....sigh....
Glad your belated ThanksChristmas was splendid! If only we could bottle and sell time ... it would be the most precious commodity on earth.
Thanks for the Aila fix. I am back from a business trip and hope we can talk again soon!
She truly is one of the most adorable little girls ever! The snowsuit in the sand is just priceless! I hope you two have been able to catch up on some sleep:) But I am sure Miss T is not making that easy for you!! Take care of yourselves and that precious little one:) I can't wait to see her shucking oysters!!
