Cousins

Here are my attempts to get all 5 sitting and looking at the camera!

Our Christmas tree

We got our christmas tree last week. The girls had a good time decorating it!

Halloween a few weeks late

Here are our two matching princesses

and one unhappy little pumpkin!

Vegas!

A Party fit for a princess

Our little Sophie turned 3 this week. All she asked for was to have friends at her party. She got her wish. 15 little princess and princes were there to help her celebrate.

Brennan's Baptism

This weekend we had the little man baptised. With the help of Nana we had a wonderful brunch after church to celebrate.


Here our Brennan's godparents: Jessica and Daniel

They entire family at home before the service

The Three munckins, of course they fought over who got to hold him for the picture

and the little man himself. Smiling on his special day.

Apple picking

Last weekend we went apple picking.

We picked tons of apples and everyone had a great time

The weather was beautiful

and the apples were abundant

Now its time to make applesauce, apple pies, and apple crisp.

pumpkin patch

Last Saturday we went to a pumpkin patch with some friends
We attempted to get a picture of all of the kids



They played in the hay

Road on cows

It was a fun and beautiful day.

Onset, MA

Last month we spent the week in onset, MA.

We visited Plymouth Rock and The Mayflower II. Brie decided she was not going to sleep there!

We went on a whale watch. We saw lots of whales up close, but it something we will not be repeating anytime soon. At least with toddlers. Four hours on a boat with nothing to do but look at the water = not fun.

We climbed some trees

Took lots of pictures

Lounged on the beach in the cabana

Played on the porch of our little cottage

played in the sand

Rowed in the boat.

And desipite an 8 hour car ride each way, still had a great time.

2 months old- a little late

These pictures were taken the day before we went to Cape Cod.

The little man was 7 lbs 10 oz and 21 inches long before we left.

When we came home he was 9 lbs! He most like the beach. In one week he gained more then a pound.

One month old

Our little guy is just over a month old. Hard to believe he has been here that long already.


He is so far a good baby. Eats and sleeps. He does cry but only when he is hungry and stops as soon as you feed him or give him a pacifier.

Madan voyage

After a 12 hour trip to CT to get this boat and several weeks of trying to figure out how to get it to the river.

We loaded it up in the back of Shelley's van and took it for a ride. It was not easy to paddle and Marcus needs to do some practicing before we all get in again.

Making of a deck

Two weeks ago Donnie, Marcus and Brian put a deck on the back of the house.

They got the frame and the deck boards done all in one day.

Working hard in the sun all day

Sawing, putting in screws, and sanding lots of boards.

Now we are just waiting for the weather to cooperate so we can enjoy it.

Blueberries

Just before our baby boy came home we took the girls blueberry picking. Sophie picked lots of blueberries, but none of them made it into her bucket. Brie was helpful and collected lots of blueberries and was very proud to say she only ate one! Quite the opposites aren't they.

knoebles

Last weekend we spent the day at Knoebles with some friends. The girls had a great time. Brie rode her first roller coaster. . .


she claimed to like it, but looking at her face on the ride I am not so sure

The both enjoyed the kiddie rides, Sophie especially loved these boats.

They also loved the slide.

Mommy rented a little jazzy scooter and rode around the park, it was a bit comical but it works there was no way I would have been able to walk the park less then a week after my c-section and I didn't want to miss out on the fun.
