Last weekend we took a trip to the Children's Museum here in West Hartford. You really liked seeing the animals on exhibit, particularly the owl and the racoon. One part of the museum has a jeep that the kids can "drive." here is a picture of you driving your mom around. :) Later,

What a great month it has been! You uncle Jim has been staying with us since Christmas to study for the New York Bar Exam. It has been really great having him here; you have had a blast during his visit. You refer to Jim, alternately, as "dada", and "mama" despite our best efforts to teach you to say "uncle." Last weekend we took a trip to drop Jim off in Boston, where he is going to continue his studies. After saying goodbye to Jim, you, your mom and I then went to the Boston Science Museum. You had a great time checking out the exhibits. Your favorites by far were the dinosaur and train exhibits. I think you are torn between a career in Paleontology or Engineering. I am not counting out a career as an astronaut, however. Each night when your mom or I pick you up from day care, as we walk to the car, you always try to find the moon and point it out to us. You use a very excited yet declarative tone of voice, as if to say "Dad, there is this amazing thing called the moon, and there it is, and I will go there one day." Moon!
