"I caught a BEE!!!!"

Luke caught a Bee today when we were outside playing. He found his insect house in the shed and was set on finding something to put in it. I’m not quite sure how but he managed to catch a bee. This made him VERY happy. He was jumping up and down, showing Paige and insisted on taking a picture so we could send it to daddy. He brought the bee inside and it sat on the table next to us as we had our lunch. Then it was over by Blue’s bowl (maybe so they could commiserate about being captured animals). This bee was going downhill quick! I think it was close to dying from panic. It was just laying there; Luke said it was ‘sleeping’. I told Luke that he needed to take him outside because he missed his mommy and daddy. After some negotiations (he argued that his friends surely would want to see the bee up close and personal), he agreed and went outside to let him go. A couple minutes later, he comes back inside with a different bee. He said, “Mommy, this bee doesn’t have a mommy and daddy so we can keep him!”

Smarty Pants -

Paige is such a smarty! She talked up a storm. We are always amazed with everything she can say. This morning, I was putting her in her highchair for breakfast. She started saying “John Truck” It was pretty clear that was what she was saying but I wasn’t sure why…..until I looked outside and our neighbor John was getting into his big black truck. Where does she learn these things??? Who the heck taught her our neighbor's name???

Angie taught Paige this...

"in the bath??"

For months and months and months, Luke has a ritual that when I say it is time for a bath he will grab some random toys and say "Mommy, can I bring this in the bath?" 9 times out of 10 the answer is NO but once in a while he has something that can go in the water. 'Me Too' has caught on to this little game and this week starting with her own "in the bath" It is too cute.



She is talking so much these days. That was earlier this week, this morning we woke up to this in the monitor...

Just like Lukie!!

Someone LOVES being just like big brother -

College 101 -

Saturday, we had a party on the Cape for mommy's work. It was fun. I made a new friend, Adam. We learned lots of new fun games like Beer Pong and learned how to work the Keg. I'm ready for the frat house now!!

Any takers?? -


Our first customer -

Wednesday Fun!

This past Wednesday we went to the cape to see Mimi and our friends Wendy, Will and Olivia who were visiting their Mimi on the cape. We went to the pool together for the entire afternoon and had a fun time. It was a nice change from the beach and the weather was much cooler.

Silly Boys -




What are they doing??

Road Race -

Sunday was the Falmouth Road Race. Auntie Kelly and Uncle Scott ran it this year and did great. We made it to the cape in time to watch but Paige was on the verge so we left shortly after we saw them run by.

We stayed for the day and hung out with the family!!

Different Beach -

This weekend we went to a "different beach" with some of our neighbors. We are learning that Dartmouth has more and more BEAUTIFUL areas!!

"Boo Boo"

We, like many families, have the ritual of kissing scrapes and cuts or "boo boo's" as they are called in our house. Paige fell last weekend and scraped her knees a bit. She milked this most of the week. She walks up to one of us saying "boo boo hurts" and won't walk away until both knees have been sufficently kissed. It is very cute. Sometimes she will also kiss them herself. She will kiss Luke's boo boos too, she thinks it is a game.

Jay was touching up some of the walls the other day. Paige walks into our bedroom, sees the spot and says "BOO BOO" and walks over and kisses the wall.
