Julia & Anna

Grandparents Love Babies

Welcome Anna!

Anna Catherine Flaherty joined us on Monday and came home today. She's a little peanut at 6lb 15 oz and 18.5 inches at birth. Despite her diminutive size, she is still a handful, is nursing like a champ and expects to sleep through every night starting tomorrow, or the next day or maybe the next...we'll keep you posted on that one.

We'll never know for sure, but these are just some of the loving, wonderful and somewhat nutty relatives anxiously awaiting Anna's arrival.

Fun in the Sand at Crane's Beach

Play Group Cook Out at Eliza's House

Nate's playgroup friends held a cookout at Eliza's house. What a day! Lots of frolicking in the yard, playing on the airplane, Nate pouring water on himself and even a little surprise baby "sprinkle" for Julia. We ache for such a perfect summer day in the cold dreary days of winter.

Ducks Unlimited at Pond Meadow Park

Nate likes Pond Meadow Park, where he gets to throw rocks in the pond, hunt for turtles and climb up and over the dam. On this day in August, Nate helped feed some ducks and then rested on a bench as he ran out of gas before his mid-day nap.

Binkie Transition?

Trying to ween off the pacifier is going ok, but every now and then, we regress. Not sure how he wound up with TWO, but it was too cute not to photograph.

Houghton's Pond - Fun in the Sand

Two Boys in a Tent

Luke and I spent a Sunday hanging out. Daddy pitched our tent, which made for a great toddler cave in which we played and hibernated with toys all day long. In fact, it was so much fun, I decided I could not tear myself away long enough to get dressed. Gotta love a full day spent in one's pj's!

Here's Trouble

We spent some time with cousins Luke and Layla recently. Nate and Luke are like 2 peas in a pod and Layla, not yet a year old, is already walking. Look out!
