Because I need to just get a post out already, jeez!

First off I have to say that Charlie has reached the ten month mark! I can't believe that first birthday is just around the corner! He is walking along furniture now and getting brave enough to let go for a half a second. He lately has been under the weather. Perfect timing with the SWINE FLU media craziness. It turns out he is cutting his 8th tooth, but also has a nasty cough to go along with it. I got some wonderful looks in the market the other day when Charlie let out his big cough. As a parent, I just LOVE concerned strangers don't you?


Charlie is babbling more and more. I think I heard him say dog, but I'm not sure. He is really into dogs now, though. He wants to get right up in their faces and touch them. Makes me a tad nervous! He also loves playing with balls. We roll a ball to him on the floor and he catches it in his legs. It's real cute. He loves the swings at the park and has been really into playing in the sand.
Noah just started tee ball. We have been so busy with everything. Josh and I were so proud of ourselves that we got Noah into this tee ball thing, though. So far Noah's pretty excited about it.


Yesterday Josh visited Noah's classroom and brought in some frog eggs. He taught the kids about frogs and tadpoles. Noah was beaming. He got to give the intro for his dad's presentation. {Note: he is getting into the habit of putting his shirt in his mouth again! Ah man!}

Here is Lynne, the TA holding Charlie in the back. That classroom is so welcoming to our whole family. I'll miss it next year.


And SPRING has finally sprung in Cambridge. It is gorgeous here. I think the only reason we don't get as many tourists this time of year as we do in the fall is because we get quite a bit of rain. It is so lovely here, though.




My kids do cute things. Maybe the snore symphony thing is more embarrassing, but I think it's cute. Noah woke the whole house up the other night and all three kiddos wond up in our bed. I woke up to Noah snoring in Charlie's face!


I was trying to get a cute shot of Noah and Charlie playing on the floor, but wound up capturing one of Presley's famous afternoon melt downs!


There we go!

I love that Josh went to Noah's school to teach about tadpoles! My dad's job as a lawyer was just not that interesting...
I also think it's funny that Noah and Charlie are totally ignoring Presley's meltdown. You have cute kids!

Your photographs are lovely - what great memories you and your family are making. I love the ones with all three kids. And that picture of Presley crying pretty much sums up life at our house. Audrey throws little fits while Grant and I look on wondering: where did this girl come from?

I feel so out of touch with your fam! Cute pictures. We need to get together this summer when schedules calm down and let our kids tackle each other while we eat chips and salsa! And now our boys can tumble together. I miss you guys!
