Aunty Kerry

Aunty Kerry's a hot commodity with the children in our family. Luckily Luke got a little extra time in with his Godmother last weekend before having to share her with his cousins on Easter.

On the swings:


I thought this picture was artsy. I could be wrong.


Aunty Kerry told me I'm the cutest little giraffe ever! Even though I have no neck...see??!!

Jackson Pa-Luke

Luke's Grandpa turned 70 today. On the side of Grandpa's card, I held a marker in Luke's hand to see what would happen. I think it's pretty impressive for an 8 month old...I mean, he even signed his name in the lower left corner (L):



Happy Birthday, Dad!

Luke's Playdate

Now that Luke's getting older, I think he's actually getting something out of the play-dates I have with the moms of his "friends." His latest play-date with Ryan proves my point.

Sitting there looking at each other is always a blast:


Huggin'...awww!


Making funny faces:


Sure beats old times:

The Games Dads Play

I walked in on this one the other day:

Luke Holds His Own

I'm purposely destroying Luke's chances of becoming President of the United States. What mother wants that? These photos were taken today at the Museum of Science:

Luke at it again with Pacifier Kid:


Back off Ella, this theory of relativity's mine!




Wasn't me. I'm just sitting here whistling.

Luke's New Lovey

Luke has become quite attached to his breathable bumper these days:

Beaver Brook

Like many people on the East Coast, we tried to make the best of the warmer weather this weekend. On Sunday, we visited Beaver Brook Reservation, a park ten minutes from our home. We enjoyed walking on the paved trails, introducing Luke to some dogs, and showing him the way around the playground equipment.

Enrichment Thursdays

Who needs expensive music, yoga, or signing classes when you've got a group of moms looking for another excuse to hang out together? Enrichment Thursdays is our attempt to "stay focused" and enrich the minds of our youngsters. Today's agenda? Singalong!

A bird's eye view of great minds at work:
