Irish Flat Hats

Momo came to visit yesterday, fresh from her trip to Ireland.  She brought the boys some Irish "Flat Hats" - they are super cute.  The boys really liked the hats and kept them on for a long time.  Gah!

handsome boy!

so serious!

look at them!

I played T-ball with my hat

me, too

Maudslay Park Part II

We went back to Maudslay Park yesterday for a mid morning walk.  It was another beautiful spring day, and it was great to be outdoors.  I think Henry could get used to these adventures.

there were horses there again!

"I have a surprise for you, Mama."

these boys are always picking me flowers - I am so lucky!

we saw turtles this time!

A Maudslay Park Adventure

We took the boys for a walk in Maudslay Park, Newburyport yesterday.  It was a beautiful spring afternoon, and we had a lot of fun.  At one point, we heard a strange noise that sounded like birds.  We followed the noise, and it led us to a little pond where there were lots of frogs swimming and making frog sounds.  Super cool!

We saw horses walking in the park when we first arrived!

Another Visit From Our Thompson Cousins

Auntie Alanna and the boys came up for a visit last weekend and we got to celebrate Drew's birthday with a little dinner at Auntie Auntie's house.  While we were waiting for the party to start, Gabe and Zach stole up into Auntie Auntie's bedroom and got busy with some Sharpie markers.  Zach's face was a sight that none of us will forget.

Gabe made tiger stripes on his face

for a child who doesn't like to color or draw, Gabe did a really good job on Zach's face!

And then we had the party - and it was great to see our cousins again

my turn to hold baby Cody!
