An afternoon of adorableness!!

Subject in arms!

How amazing/sweet is this?!?

Perfect Labor Day Weekend!

We celebrated Marissa's 20th birthday a couple of days early in Northampton.
Had a great dinner at the Coolidge Park Cafe- next to Wiggins Tavern in the Hotel Northampton. Hello 38 years ago!!! 

Ollie could not get close enough to his girl! 

Then I got to see Eli! Happy Happy Joy Joy! Oh, and Katie and Tom, too. :)

Okay.. so this baby crawls, pulls himself to standing, eats solids, is adept at getting finger foods from table to mouth, and has a good amount of blonde hair. What great changes since I saw him last! 

Still the same?  All smiles and big belly laughs :)

We took a drive by old Western MA  stomping grounds. Behold- the townhouse in South Hadley that we lived in when Ryan was born. 

A little walk at Andres Institute of Art-

Seriously cute!!!!

LoVe this kid!!

Acton, Maine 2012

Captivating storm clouds blowing in.

At first I thought these caterpillars were really cute. And then we quickly realized that there was an infestation of them. When we weren't being pelted by them, we were being pelted non stop by their poop. GROSS HORRIBLE caterpillars from hell. 

So pretty!

When you've had enough sun, simply sit under a hammock.

Testing out my new feature 'splashing water' on Marissa. 

The view from our table at Garwoods in Wolfboro.. A new (as of last summer) tradition.

OMG good :)

 Lake Winnipesaukee- 

A sad boy after the diagnosis...no running, swimming or jumping and on LEASH for two weeks?!? Are you serious?!?

Goodbye until next year, wonderful Maine cottage.
