Ending a Week with Peace

The end of January was a little “crazy” with spirit week at school. But for the parents who endured (and also overcame nasty colds), there was a light at the end of the tunnel – 24 hours away to catch up on sleep and enjoy some peace and quiet.

On the Move!!

Well, it finally happened! After weeks of standing and the occasional step, Owen finally figured out how to put one foot in front of the other. Heaven help us!

Keeping It Clean

It took 17 months, but we finally figured it was time to teach C some oral hygiene (don’t judge!). He had actually started several months ago at school, so we were a little late to the game adding it to his evening routine. Luckily, it’s still a fun occurrence; we shall see how long that…

Embracing the Selfie

Colin has embraced the selfie craze, learning the art of digital photography and playing to his vanity. Here are some of his early works…

Carb addict!

Hands, Touching Hands, Reaching Out…

Admit it, you’ve just been struck by the fine words of Neil Diamond and are now humming his epic Sweet Caroline. As enamored as you may be with that song, especially if you’re a Red Sox fan, it pales in comparison to Colin and his love affair with…his hands. That’s right – if he’s awake,…

Staying Busy

So, we’ve had a few adventures over the past month that may not warrant a full-on blog post. But, they were so much fun that we decided to show the love for our nearest and dearest. “B” has been the theme, with ballet, brunches, beverages out and Brewhahas…
