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.
