Patriot's Day Sun

Summer in Boston came early, and this chick was prepared.

This chick knows how to have a good time...

What's better than an elephant pool?

Dirt.

Look everyone, I'm standing on it!

Easter Baskets

My Easter basket...

Naomi's Easter basket...

Aunt Marnie, you're so snuggly!

Caught a tiger by the tail.

A New Home!

Thanks to all for your encouragement, prayers, thoughts, and help. We're settled in our new place in Huron Village (West Cambridge), just steps from 2 toy stores, some fabulous restaurants and Mt. Auburn Cemetary (gorgeous). We're so happy here. It has extra space in all the right places - first floor living, a real dishwasher, disposal, space for a kitchen table freeing up the dining room for a play room, a toddler-sized patio, and two separate nooks for studying/working.

This chick had no trouble getting settled. She thinks she's royalty in this chair from Nana.

Baby of Mine

What a gift to parents in need of comic relief!

New Wheels

This sweet ride came in the mail yesterday & we put it together last night.

This morning, she was excited that she didn't even notice me say goodbye. (Note the still pink "I just woke up" cheeks.)

Impromptu snuggle break.

And tonight...safe to say she was pumped.
