…and it’s a boy! Jay and I haven’t picked a name yet, but if Britton had his way his brother would be named Sonic after his favorite hedgehog. As far as we can tell right now, the kiddo is healthy and at a good size, with Britton’s long scrawny leggies, Daddy’s toecurling powers, and Mommy’s tendency to cross her arms and legs to go into as small a form as possible. He’s also as stubborn as Mommy and Daddy (and then some), which means we’re in for a world of trouble… but we’ll love him to pieces regardless.

We would like to welcome two new additions to the Norfolk Cominoli house hold: Cooper and Farrah (named after some our nerdy tv heroes).  They are 9 week old beagle/hound mutts who are as sweet as can be.  Becka and I had to drive to Carolina to pick em up, but it was well worth the drive.

They are growing up !

Here is our video version of tree trimming for the 2011 Christmas season.   This Chevy Chase tree was so big that we had to cut about a foot and a half off the bottom and there is no room for a tree topper.  We had plenty of help from a couple of little elf’s including one who did some one sock dancing.(click through for the movie) (more…)

Three french hens, two up chucks, and a yoda in a big tree.  Poor Britton has the bug this weekend as we’re putting up the tree, luckily the tree was spared from the aftermath.  Take a look at what we were able to do when we weren’t cleaning Britton up. (click through for the movie) (more…)

On Monday, November 21, 2011 Patriot Game Tickets were transformed from birthday gifts into a night to remember at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro for Jay, Jack and Ryan.  The weather was crisp, the stadium was electrifying and the Patriots did not fail to deliver in a 34 – 3 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.   The Patriots put on a show scoring most of their points in the section of the end zone right in front of our  seats in the corner of the stadium.  So many memorable plays including… (more…)

A couple of Trick or Treaters who stopped by to see Grammy and Grampy…

Well the snow kept falling building up to somewhere around 14 inches as you can see by the pictures.  Like more of the Northeast, lost power for a couple of days. 

Since this was around Halloween, it was quite a trick but not much of a treat.
