Visit with Friends

Toby, Kate, and Gideon took a break from unpacking (they just bought a house) and come down to Woods Hole for a reunion that we attended. Afterwards, we decided to have a nice stroll out to The Knob at sunset and it was beautiful!

Cutie Girl!

Just wanted to share some cute pics of the girl - in Alex's chair, with her great grandpa on his 88th birthday and wearing her beautiful outfit from Caroline, and in the car seat with the fun froggie cover that Grandma got for Alex when he was a baby.

TGIF!!!!

We had a very fun morning full of activities. First, we played on Norah's gym mat and Alex decided it made a cool backpack. He wanted to snuggle up with his little Sis. Thanks to Emily & Chris for the adorable giraffe onesie! Next, we went to the farm again and saw all Alex's favorite animals, but I think he had more fun playing in the dirt in the garden. He also had fun with the last of the pumpkins for sale (you can see why they were left behind as they are looking a bit rough) and he had to play on the little calf on the way out. Then, we headed to the playground and I showed him the baseball diamond, we played on some rocks, then we decided to play on the actual playground and had a wonderful time!

Minor Boo Boo

Alex was helping me mail some thank you cards and decided to jump up while standing under the mailbox. So, he not only cracked his head on the wood under the mailbox, but did an immediate face plant into the driveway. He got a mouth full of dirt, a bump on his forehead, and several scratches, but it was nothing a popsicle couldn't cure! We ended up having a lovely day despite the incident and enjoyed our grilled cheese out on the deck in the sunshine. The next day we all went to Mimi's house and had a great time, and then last night Alex was lounging on Daddy with is feet up. I think he'll survive!

Saturday with the Family

We went to Mimi's for the day on Saturday and Norah got to finally meet her Uncle Teddy and her Great Uncle Wally. Great Grandpa had a tough time putting Norah down - he just loves to hold her! Alex had a blast running around with Cousin Evan and then we had pizza together for dinner and came home. Thanks for a wonderful day!

Lil' Pumpkin

We went to the playground yesterday and Alex had fun playing in the sand with his trains and loved when I pushed him super high on the swing! We would have stayed longer, but he decided to wipe the rain water off the slide with his pants and got soaked so we went home to change and then played in the yard with the neighbors. Norah looked so cute in her new hat that Grandma knitted for her - thanks Grammy! Oh, and like the Red Sox pacifier... Go Sox!

Snuggle time with Daddy...

Mommy's little girl

Meeting the Great Grandparents

We took our first trip out of the house on our own on Friday to go to Mimi's house. Norah got to meet her great grandparents, her aunt, and her uncle. We had a very nice day trip and it was fun to actually leave the house! It took us a little while to actually get out the door, but once we were in the car it was a very smooth trip. Great Grandpa was very happy to hold his little girl! He has 5 great grandsons so he was waiting for this one to come along for a long time. So sweet!
