Excuese me if I'm cranky...

but I'm really not...not for all the teeth I've been working on lately. I have my two bottom, my two top fangs, and now I'm working on my two top front teeth. I'm hard at work getting those teeth in. You would never know it. Mommy says I'm such a great baby even when I'm teething!!

Happy Birthday Nana!!

We went to Mimi's for dinner Sunday night to celebrate Nana's birthday. We told Luke we were going to Mimi's. He says "CAPE COD!!". We had to explain to Luke that Mimi has another house, it had been sometime since we'd been to Lexington, Luke didn't remember. So he looks at us and says "Mimi's Cape Cod house is broken" as if he had it all figured out in his head.

Apple Picking!!

This weekend was the annual apple picking outing with our friends (although last year got rained out). It was a beautiful day. The kids loved it, we did miss the Ryan family this year! They have lots of great things for the kids to do: see the animals, ride the little tractors, have cider donuts and other yummy treats, go in the hay maze and jump on the hay stack and oh yeah..there was the apple picking part too!! Luke really got into it this year and was able to pick the apples himself...after some coaching not to take the apples from the ground. Next year we'll work on not "throwing" them in the bag. All in all, a great day!!!

In the old neck of the woods..

Before apple picking, we drove around Acton and drove by our old house. We figured it had been almost exactly a year since we moved. We asked Luke if he knew where we were when we pulled in. He said "Jackson's house". NO. He said "Katie's house" and pretty much went down the line of his friends. He didn't remember our house at all which was a little sad but what did we expect the poor guy wasn't even 2 when we left and haven't been back in a year. We went to Kimbell's for some ice cream too!!

New Toys!!

We've moved toys around, taken some downstairs, out, in and all around. We also got some great new toys from cousin's Chase and Madison. Both kids are lovin' having "new" toys to play with. Fan fav is the Dora kitchen for sure...

Gettin' clean!!

Marley vs the berries

Speaking of berries, we have a berry tree out back. The berries fall right on our deck. Marley loves to sleep on the deck. You can see where this is going. Someone came over the other week and asked if something was wrong with "our dog" because his fur is covered in berry juice where he sleeps on them all day...OH MARLEY.
To make matters worse, he was "helping" Luke play chalk the other day. So now we have the dog with berries and blue chalk all over him.

Yummy...blackberries!!

This fruit tastes different than the other berries I've had :)

Cousin's Weekend!!

My cousin’s came to visit me this weekend and stayed OVERNIGHT! I was so excited for my first sleepover. I was walking around all morning talking about all the things I was going to do with Chase-N-Madison, all the toys we were going to play with and how much fun we would have. Did we ever! We went to the playground, had lunch, the zoo, more playground, played at home, ate dinner, had our baths together, did books and stories in my bed, slept together in my room (which was the most fun!), ate breakfast together the next morning, played some more, went bowling, more lunch, played outside some more, and a bunch of other things too! I was so tired by Sunday night I could barley keep it together.

My cousin’s are BIG FUN! I love hangin’ out with them. I hope they come back again real soon!!

The Zoo Crew...


Bedtime book and scary stories - LOVE the "Uncle Jay" stories...


Bowling the next day. Luke lost interest after 2 turns and ran around with the goldfish bag. Madison won (beating out Uncle Jay and Auntie too!)...


Madison was a BIG help with Paige. She helped feed her, buckle her in and out of her car seat, stroll her around and helped her to crawl. She is a great big cousin…

What I did on my Summer Vacation
By: Marley Peabody

I went outside sometimes, but mostly I just stood by the door and waited for someone to open it. It was the most awesome summer ever!! I can't wait until next year.

The End
