Trip to Gloucester

After the wedding, the kids and I headed to Gloucester for a few days. Ben was working nights so we spent some time with Nonnie and Papa so that I could have a little help.

Congrats Andrew and Lauren

A few weeks ago the kids and I travelled to western MA for my stepbrother's wedding. They had a beautiful backyard ceremony followed by a reception with some yummy food, good music and thankfully, a bouncy house for the kids. Maddie and Owen played in the bounce house the whole time. I was busy chasing the kids and feeding Cole so unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the couple. It was a great time. Congratulations again guys!

Lilacs and a new haircut

At the lilac festival.

Owen got his first big boy haircut today... check out the handsome boy! At first he cried as soon as I put him in the chair so I held him and he did fine. The pictures are a little blurry but they're still cute.

2 weeks

It's hard to believe that Cole is already 2 weeks old! On one hand it seems like just yesterday he was born but on the other it seems like he's been part of the family for much longer. Either way he is a pretty good baby. He sleeps very well at night and only cries when he needs something. He is very alert and loves to look around at everything. Big brother and sister have taken quite well to him and love to help Mommy and Daddy take care of him... and smother him with hugs and kisses! Many thanks to everyone who has visited... Maddie and Owen have enjoyed the extra attention! Here are some pictures from the last 2 weeks...
