A Dylan-ous Blog Entry

It's been a while since I blogged - because life is just way too busy - I thought with school out, it wouldn't be so bad and now I'm wondering how that even fit into the picture...there is so much to do this time of year...

Dylan's birthday is a week from tomorrow. He'll be turning 8 this year. Time goes by so fast...we moved back to MA from NYC in Feb. 2003 - we bought our house that year at the end of July - this was taken the following October - Dylan was only 2 in this picture - turning 3 that December.

Dylan was almost 3 in this picture - gone are the days of the fireplace that he is sitting on. Gone too are the days of the bowl haircut too. This picture was taken with my old Sony point-n-shoot. I can't even remember the specs on that camera....

Halloween has turned out to be a tradition in getting the cousins together....with the exception of this year, the kids always get their costumes at the last minute sales at the Disney Store...this was Halloween 2003 - Dylan was Mickey Mouse as a fireman (no, they did not have Mickey Mouse as a Policeman or Dylan would have definitely been that instead).
This was taken the following summer 2004 - at my mom's house - check out how blond Dylan's hair gets in the summer. It is not as blond anymore - his hair represents the Asian in him...but not back then.
This picture was taken before a friend's wedding in November 2004. That's Dylan with my nephew, Andy in the church where Adam and I got married too.

I love this picture of them together - Dylan was almost 4 years old in this picture taken at Faneiul Hall in Boston. He was so little then...
Dylan just all of a sudden really looked like a big boy - this was taken 5 days before I had Melody - I took this one on the way out the door to go to work.
Dylan was off to kindergarten in this picture - he was only 4 - the age cutoff time in our city is to turn 5 by December 31 of the year you start kindergarten. So he's usually the baby in his class.

I'll continue to post Dylan shots as I get the time to blog this week until his birthday - that way when he gets old enough to find my blog on his own, he'll know that I thought of him this whole week - like I do every year at this time...to make sure that he gets a birthday separate from Christmas. Signing off for now to work on my parents' calendar...it's part of their Christmas gift...
