A little background:<br /><br />Liam loves Laurie Berkner. If you haven't heard her music and you have a child under the age of six, you are a bad parent. She rules! She's on Jack's Big Music Show all the time now and she's super bouncy and fun. Liam loves Laurie Berkner. She has an effect not unlike baby heroin. He will sit and stare at the TV for upwards of 20 minutes when she is on screen. So needless to say, I had to buy the tickets for him.<br /><br />BUT! He got a cold on Thursday, and then Bill got a cold on Friday and I got a cold on Friday night, so Saturday morning was pretty miserable, not to mention BOSTON GOT COLD on Saturday... See... I'm clever.<br /><br />But we walked around Boston for a few hours before the show. They wouldn't let us take flash photography, so my pictures looked like they were taken in a coal mine - so I've updated them with the help of PICASA (woo!). But they're still pretty bad...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYnEsRxQhHCiy-tUdZCO_sHPC7jIjaHNEYtDLtIJr5Mnq644PbezKrCqaGilgy8vWqJhSeoFQVfpfQtEIV2KIAoReiXXchHPKM5886LnFmwTEea-P_If5ZYxX5n8OcS0Kk5OnO/s1600-h/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+008.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYnEsRxQhHCiy-tUdZCO_sHPC7jIjaHNEYtDLtIJr5Mnq644PbezKrCqaGilgy8vWqJhSeoFQVfpfQtEIV2KIAoReiXXchHPKM5886LnFmwTEea-P_If5ZYxX5n8OcS0Kk5OnO/s320/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053305933179599634" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCNuNJQH-uYSOLxlD9Vrxhg7OApxy_b1xOKT6JqR-R0_nKa1FGFwMvphsKJ8UlcktPffHOFamNhU5LPdWKMV0tqmPh40rN9H085EGWxS_MlLfgrYU7vwF17aTefq-WVJN5GNpa/s1600-h/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+005.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCNuNJQH-uYSOLxlD9Vrxhg7OApxy_b1xOKT6JqR-R0_nKa1FGFwMvphsKJ8UlcktPffHOFamNhU5LPdWKMV0tqmPh40rN9H085EGWxS_MlLfgrYU7vwF17aTefq-WVJN5GNpa/s320/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053305864460122882" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihN4sV0lxuozT0cgmi98R8W34qIbftAzdiRzr8x-gwOI88WDHMShWNPf6g0SRGpYhSuzgjj9EvfNa-DV9_WX_WsfGlspI-VkbqwGsxManVZ1SHUE_WfnzD45JjDL7Kt26D5T55/s1600-h/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihN4sV0lxuozT0cgmi98R8W34qIbftAzdiRzr8x-gwOI88WDHMShWNPf6g0SRGpYhSuzgjj9EvfNa-DV9_WX_WsfGlspI-VkbqwGsxManVZ1SHUE_WfnzD45JjDL7Kt26D5T55/s320/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053305821510449906" border="0" /></a><br />Then this morning, since it was actually SUNNY and not in the 30s, we decided to go for a walk in Wickford and be tourists in our own neighborhood.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglcyYGJkpiExXezJHTuXxtXcAhl3dVr_dGXNHg4FvdIhMIUhm81VyABk1mVb4EyWuLBMjVJxVrtCRlxopXnyheCKD7e9BF5nonTs1l4Gf6dDQ0XkZaghVT1n_P6a8E213o7-zY/s1600-h/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+017.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglcyYGJkpiExXezJHTuXxtXcAhl3dVr_dGXNHg4FvdIhMIUhm81VyABk1mVb4EyWuLBMjVJxVrtCRlxopXnyheCKD7e9BF5nonTs1l4Gf6dDQ0XkZaghVT1n_P6a8E213o7-zY/s320/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+017.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053306285366917954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEismoSXpxIvq_bA2oxoGkQipSpSDLvMJVtdKLCxB2b3pbo9V2e1BHr4JradTOv8EvZRU31DgPSkEzAZdP-YpBbtRa0WhqvZO0vm1pxSXS0QgG-b_5Xobxen2tNLSTirclistRjY/s1600-h/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+016.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEismoSXpxIvq_bA2oxoGkQipSpSDLvMJVtdKLCxB2b3pbo9V2e1BHr4JradTOv8EvZRU31DgPSkEzAZdP-YpBbtRa0WhqvZO0vm1pxSXS0QgG-b_5Xobxen2tNLSTirclistRjY/s320/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053306251007179570" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibnihHx84yuk5uLD1Q5h4Z7KxZsb3jf0NfT73sWrGxQKUeqw2m0cUIYFETj4vMPIsQ0IJubEMIz_1a-MCtCKekL_MtJPrAiOkioKhWJcR1lM8jixK3AYRMHs01m7iXDZvjENWG/s1600-h/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+015.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibnihHx84yuk5uLD1Q5h4Z7KxZsb3jf0NfT73sWrGxQKUeqw2m0cUIYFETj4vMPIsQ0IJubEMIz_1a-MCtCKekL_MtJPrAiOkioKhWJcR1lM8jixK3AYRMHs01m7iXDZvjENWG/s320/Laurie+%26+our+walk+in+Wickford+015.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053306208057506594" border="0" /></a>We had a fun time exploring houses that were built before this was even called AMERICA.

But oh well.<br /><br />Liam has learned how to say SEVERAL words, including "show" (for Jack's Big Music Show), "toes," "snow," "door," "up," "down," "bye bye," "car," "go," and "cold!" He says a lot of other things too, but I just can't think of them at the moment. He loves to watch "The Muppet Movie" and when we watched it on Sunday night, and I paused it right before the gang meets Gonzo, Liam went up to the TV and started going "bock, bock, bock." FOR THE CHICKEN! He's a genius! The next TV geek, I'm telling ya!!<br /><br />Enjoy some photos!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnmWV_vXBOhlCLdos4tDV4ytHuQ8Kd2z4KVatBt-HJREdrSjqq775W_ABzLEJt4MimA_FB0cAskzhqa1jsMzQ8mFUB-1EjPgKWmW2G9AtkJhzor3mSRUob6TfVcYT67u6-YOn7/s1600-h/January+06+029.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnmWV_vXBOhlCLdos4tDV4ytHuQ8Kd2z4KVatBt-HJREdrSjqq775W_ABzLEJt4MimA_FB0cAskzhqa1jsMzQ8mFUB-1EjPgKWmW2G9AtkJhzor3mSRUob6TfVcYT67u6-YOn7/s320/January+06+029.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5025988825987494306" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This is officially the most recent picture - since I took it about an hour ago!

Finally!So now that I'm finally back home and somewhat rested, I can finally begin the Christmas blogging. This is in no particular order, since apparently, my computer did not save the pictures in any real order. Also - I hate blogger. I started this post earlier today, tried to grab another webpage and firefox shut down on me (I'm still blaming blogger). So I lost the 30 million pictures that I had already downloaded, which takes a zillion years on blogger. Boo. Wah. I'm tired. Where's blankie??<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/1600/377009/PC270020.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/320/240438/PC270020.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Here's a picture of Lily in her Dora tent. This tent is freakin' huge! Like bigger than an apartment in NYC, at least!! You should check out <a href="http://lilybailey.blogspot.com">Lily's blog</a>, since she's freakin' genius! Bill and I watched "Spellbound" last night and we're convinced that Lily is the next National Spelling Bee Champion, sans the awkward social issues.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/1600/440848/PC270017.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/320/766245/PC270017.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />This is Lily playing "Tickle tickle" with Liam.

We got him this little wooden ladybug that is on a spring that jumps up and down when you pull on her.

He's like - hmm... I see all of these new toys, but how do I get back to my farm? And what's with the freakin' bow, daddy?? Liam was not really all about the presents. He opened a couple, but whenever there was a lot of noise and a lot of action, he pretty much walked into a different room. Since my dad watches him by himself and he's never in a room with more than four adults, I don't think that he likes being around a lot of people.

I wish that I could scan in the pages and post them, but I don't think that my scanner can handle 12x12 pages - only the 8.5x11. Oh well.<br /><br />Have a wonderful New Years. Due to a pending cold and forecasted craptastic weather, our New Years Eve will consist of watching XMen 3 and going to bed. But it's actually become something of a tradition to watch XMen on New Years Eve, so I'm just going to go with it. So yeah - Happy New Year and be safe!<br /></div></div>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08107351860256855064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16682698.post-1166807247262014222006-12-22T12:04:00.000-05:002006-12-22T12:07:27.263-05:00The ManOh - and for those of you who have jumped from Blogger back to Yahoo 360...

Like his daddy. And Jake Gyllenhaal. Coincidence?

Big boy!!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/1600/875276/Festival%20of%20Trees%20017.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/320/574429/Festival%20of%20Trees%20017.jpg" border="0" /></a> This was from the Festival of Trees that we had at the Providence Convention Center. My advice - Don't go. It's expensive and doesn't have that much to do. And please note how we're not wearing coats - It's been SO WARM lately. Not like Christmas at all. Also notice how Liam looks like he's screaming - that's because he is.<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/1600/496524/Festival%20of%20Trees%20007.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/320/203508/Festival%20of%20Trees%20007.jpg" border="0" /></a> Also at Le Festival du Trees - Liam LOVED the carosel, even though this photo would beg otherwise. He would go "whee!" and "Wow!" when we were going around. Emma liked it too!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/1600/319067/Christmas%20Party%20&%20Tree%20030.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/320/519733/Christmas%20Party%20%26%20Tree%20030.jpg" border="0" /></a> Liam looking up at the Christmas tree. I needed a somewhat artsy photo.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/1600/138568/Christmas%20Party%20&%20Tree%20024.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/320/353807/Christmas%20Party%20%26%20Tree%20024.jpg" border="0" /></a> Liam putting the first ornament on the tree. Now, can you tell that this is a fake tree? I think it's awesome. I was completely ANTI-fake tree, but decided to go for, since I figured that Liam would alternate between knocking over a real tree (and thereby spilling water everywhere) and eating the needles. So far, Liam just occassionally stares at the tree (it's pretty!) or goes up and rings a bell - one of the ornaments we put specifically at Liam level, so that he could entertain himself. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/1600/117390/Christmas%20Party%20&%20Tree%20016.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/320/450783/Christmas%20Party%20%26%20Tree%20016.jpg" border="0" /></a> Liam has issues with food - much like his mother. We figured that if we made spaghetti fun, he might be more willing to eat it. No go, but he did think that it was hilarious when we threw it on his head!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/1600/441750/Christmas%20Party%20&%20Tree%20012.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/320/983091/Christmas%20Party%20%26%20Tree%20012.jpg" border="0" /></a> Liam is distinctly anti-Santa when it comes to sitting on laps, but if you ask him "What does Santa say?" he will sometimes response with "ho!" Don't question the fact that it sounds an awful lot like his response to what a dog and/or monkey says.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/1600/498358/Christmas%20Party%20&%20Tree%20010.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/320/665094/Christmas%20Party%20%26%20Tree%20010.jpg" border="0" /></a> This was at the Citizens children's Christmas party. He was absolutely INSANE the entire time that we were there. My mom had to wait in line for approximately FOREVER (almost two hours) to see Santa and Liam RAN around Rhodes on the Pawtuxet the entire time. He also discovered and affinity for climbing stairs that I can give or take. I had to keep him from getting to the top of the stairs, where there was a balcony, so that I could help him live til his 18 month birthday. We survived. Barely.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/1600/508244/Christmas%20Party%20&%20Tree%20001.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3953/1590/320/707428/Christmas%20Party%20%26%20Tree%20001.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is Liam resting after running around Rhodes constantly for two hours. He ate cheese "cheeeez!" and juice "juuuus!" Really, he is my son. He likes bread, cheese, grilled cheese, milk, juice, water, crackers, bananas, and waffles. Other than that, he pretty much wrinkles his nose at food. But he's my son - so what are you going to do??</p><p>I'll post again after Christmas, once I get more fun photos. I want to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! And hopefully I'll see most of the people that actually read this blog very soon!! Except Iris - but I'll see you in May!<br /></p>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08107351860256855064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16682698.post-1164318712276888632006-11-23T16:51:00.000-05:002006-11-23T16:51:52.276-05:00Thanksgiving - The Video<object width="400" height="335"><param name="movie" value="http://www.jumpcut.com/media/flash/jump.swf?id=48CC43B47B3B11DB8DC85A856F9CC894"></param><param name="flashvars" value="asset_type=movie&asset_id=48CC43B47B3B11DB8DC85A856F9CC894&eb=1"></param><embed src="http://www.jumpcut.com/media/flash/jump.swf?id=48CC43B47B3B11DB8DC85A856F9CC894" width="400" height="335" flashvars="asset_type=movie&asset_id=48CC43B47B3B11DB8DC85A856F9CC894&eb=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jumpcut.com/view?id=48CC43B47B3B11DB8DC85A856F9CC894">Or check it out on Jumpcut! </a>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08107351860256855064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16682698.post-1164318422094227752006-11-23T16:36:00.000-05:002006-11-23T16:47:02.116-05:00Happy Thanksgiving!<div style="text-align: center;">First things first - Happy 17 month birthday to Liam (11/16)!

But I always do. I have a begrudging respect and sense of adoration for the Kansas coalminers with the really bad teeth. They’re amusing, with their complete and total lack of worldliness! And Phil’s a hottie – though I’m upset that he’s losing his accent. <br /><br />Monday:<br /><br />How I Met Your Mother – This show is still good, but not as great as last season. I don’t really care that Lily and Marshall broke up – I just want Barney to say something stupid. It’s a really great late-20s show. However, I truly believe that if you are not in your late 20s, you won’t be able to relate to it and the amusement of two guys going to an Alanis Morrisette concert.<br /><br />The Class – BALEETED FROM TIVO! This show sucks. BORING!<br /><br />Heroes – I’m in the midst of liking it. Like my husband, I wish that they would have more Hiro and less wide open brains. And who knew? Ali Larter can actually act!!<br /><br />Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip – I love this show. Considering that I wasn’t even going to watch it, but did on a lark since Bill wanted to, I’m hugely impressed. I hate Harriet – she’s ugly and boring and too conservative, but that’s okay. And I’m not “in love” with any of the characters, but the writing is just so good. I truly recommend it.<br /><br />Tuesday:<br /><br />Gilmore Girls – Unlike Annie, I’m not in love with this show. However, I continue to watch it, because I have since season one. My DVR decided to casually forget to start taping the first episode (we’ve had words since), so I never really found out what happened with Loralei and Christopher and Luke. I actually like Logan as a character and wish that we could see more of him (emotionally and physically!!) and I’m interested in the pregnancy aspect with Lane.<br /><br />Bones – I LOVE THIS SHOW. David Boreanz is a sexy mofo. And the sexual tension between him and Bones is so wonderful. As I stated to my husband, I don’t care who he has sex with, as long as he’s getting some!<br /><br />Wednesday:<br /><br />America’s Next Top Model – Or as I refer to it, crack. I’m addicted to the drama on this show. Tyra Banks seems so incredibly fake in her sincerity and the girls are just mindless drones. It’s wonderful. But I am sad that they kicked off the cute girl with the short hair so early. She was my Kim for this season!!<br /><br />Lost – I keep telling myself to stop watching. I can literally go weeks without tuning into an episode that I have on my DVR, but for some reason, I won’t delete the show from my record listing. If they don’t explain what the frig is going on pretty soon, I plan on boycotting. Are you with me???<br /><br />CSI: NY – Not as good as it’s big papa CSI, but not as drunk as Uncle CSI:Miami. I like the budding romance between the girl and the guy with the glasses who talks about “blue fibahs.” Gary Sinise is really good as the new Grissom, but still no Grissom. And there’s no real tension between any of the characters, so it can be kind of boring. It’s like they’re on a set or something. J<br /><br />Project Runway – RIP. I am really happy that Jeffrey won. He was an ass, but he is REALLY talented. Though not as much as the first season guy, Jay. Some of the clothes that he made, I would actually want to wear – the first season guy, Jay, I mean – and that’s saying something, considering that I have absolutely no fashion sense.<br /><br />Thursday:<br /><br />Survivor – Again, bored. I liked the idea that they were dividing by races and it’s going along just as I thought – the whites and Asians remaining in power. It’s like a really bad joke.<br /><br />CSI – I love this show, but I hate Marg Helgenberger. Her character is so one-sided. And her name is Marg. Boo. I want them to give George Eeds more face time! He’s sexy too!<br /><br />Grey’s Anatomy – This show is really losing me as a viewer. It’s killing me that doctors can be SO DUMB. The main chick, she needs to be put into rehab for her sexual proclivity and need to drown her sorrows in alcohol. I’m glad that none of these people will ever get near me with a scalpel.<br /><br />Real World Road Rules Challenge – I still think I’m 15. And this has the same appeal as ANTM. Really dumb people, doing really stupid things for money. As my husband says – GET A JOB!<br /><br />Friday:<br /><br />Doctor Who – Bill got me to watch this by some form of voodoo magic. I was madly in love with Christopher Eccelston, though I think that the chick who plays Rose is unbelievably annoying. Then they went and “killed off” that doctor and regenerated into the new doctor. I was not really feeling him, but then he put on his glasses. Now I’m okay with the show.<br /><br />Numbers – Again, this is just a show to watch. Not in love. Could stop if I wanted to. It’s really just something to watch on Sunday when Liam is napping.<br /><br />So far – so eh this season. Besides my existing LOVE for CSI, the Amazing Race and Bones, nothing much has piqued my interest, except Studio 60 and I hear that’s not doing too well in the ratings. The OC starts soon, which will be fun (hopefully now that bitchface is dead) and 24 will be on before you know it.

We got to go in a corn maze and play in fun cut outs and then look around at all the pumpkins. It was a beautiful day.

It was so much fun! Liam was walking all over the place with Bill. We were picking and eating apples. We got to go on a hayride with two horses that were really pushy and each wanted their own way.
