Another beautiful spring day today!  We went for a walk and then enjoyed the afternoon playing outside.  Evan was his usual comical self and enjoyed “playing” with the neighbors kitty who was in our yard for a while.  It’s a good thing we are leaving for Florida tomorrow because the weather is supposed to be really nice here and I...

Today we celebrated two very special boys!  Danny and Sean had a bowling birthday party with lots of friends and family.  It was a bit overwhelming at first due to the number of people who were there but all the kids were quite well behaved and had a great time bowling.  After pizza and Allie’s donut cakes, we headed back...

We spent St. Patrick’s Day in Southie this year.  Not doing a pub crawl as is very popular…we’ll have to save that for another year…but at a house warming party for Matt and Amy.  They purchased their home in January 2011 and completely renovated it.  It was a long process for them but it was certainly time and money well...

One of Evan’s favorite past times.

I think Evan is getting really excited about our upcoming trip to Florida to see Gramma and Papa.  He already has a to-do list for his vacation. Build a sand castle with Papa Go to the beach with Gramma This morning when I asked him what he wanted to do today, one of the first things he said to me was “Go...

In order to make room for our growing family, we will be moving Evan into a big boy room, hopefully sometime around his 2nd birthday.  As a result, we will be moving the “office” into the basement, which is something we have talked about doing for a while.  Bruce is currently working two days a week from home so not...

Hard to believe that just one week ago we were looking at this and today we are outside with only light jackets on, playing on the deck and soaking up the sunshine!  In fact it was so sunny that I couldn’t even get Evan to look at the camera…oh well!  Today Evan got a chance to try out his new adirondack chair,...

A few weeks ago a former co-worker of mine posted a picture of her daughter with Clifford the Big Red Dog. Clifford had come to the Barnes & Noble in Millbury for story time.  We didn’t know about this event but we checked out the website for future events and found out that Curious George would be there on March...

Anyone who knows Bruce knows that he is a bit of a science nerd. (I mean that in a good way! It’s one of the things I love about him.)  He understands all kinds of processes from simply to extremely complex and has already begun sharing that knowledge with Evan.  Bruce gets pretty excited about space discoveries and new, “green”...

Evan gives a new meaning to double fisting.  Drinking and singing at the same time.  Complete with messy bed-head hair and Lightning McQueen slippers!
