Oh boy, if we aren’t careful, Evan is going to think that weekends are synonymous with parties! I guess it kind of is in the summer anyway. Saturday we had a quiet day at home. Evan took a good 3+ hour nap in the morning and early afternoon so Bruce and I tended to our gardens that have been greatly...

Evan is 10 weeks old today and we went back to the pediatrician for another check-up. He is still thriving and growing as quickly as all of the weeds that have taken over our gardens this summer! Here are his 2 month stats: height 25.25 inches (96th percentile), weight 14 pounds, 2 ounces (86th percentile) and head circumference 16.5 inches...

Today Jenna and Isabelle came to meet Evan. We have been trying to schedule this for quite a few weeks now and it finally worked out that we were all free today. They arrived at 10 and left around 1:30 and Evan slept the entire time!! There were a few times where he started waking up but then never quite...

Now pitching for the Boston Red Sox, making his major league debut at a very young age, the left-handed ace Evan Skarin…I can dream can’t I?? Thanks to Diane Ricci for this adorable handmade Red Sox hat. Even if Evan doesn’t play for the Sox someday, he is sure to play baseball once he is old enough. And at this...

Another weekend, another party! This time it was a graduation party for mommy’s cousin Andrew who just graduated from Villanova. It was a hot, humid day with thunderstorms threatening all day but they stayed away most of the day. We had a fun day at the party and apologize to all who were “blessed” by Evan. I think his tummy...

Evan is two months old today!! Boy how time flies!! We don’t take Evan back to the pediatrician until next Friday so you will have to wait for the updates on height, weight and head circumference but we know he is getting bigger every day! We are having so much fun with him as he continues to interact more and...

What a busy weekend!! It all started on Friday with a visit from Amber. Evan slept most of the time while she and I had lunch on the deck and were able to catch up on all that has been going on with both of us. When Evan did wake up, boy was he hungry! After I fed him, he...

A few weeks ago I noticed Evan “talking” to the circles that are on the inside of the bumper that goes around his crib. As a result I hung one of his toys, a frog face with what look like flower petals all around it, from the bumper. Well let me tell you, he could not have been more excited....

On Tuesday when Mindy and Jayten came to visit, we put the boys in the chair in our living room so that we could take a picture of them together. As you can see in the photos, neither boy was all that thrilled about being placed there for the photo op. <table style="border-collapse: collapse; border-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); border-width: 1px;"...

Yesterday and today Bruce went to Rome…Rome, NY that is. This was his first business trip since Evan was born and my parents offered to help me with Evan while he was gone. So on Wednesday, Evan and I headed to Rhode Island once again. I would love to know how many times I have made the trip back and...
