Nutcracker

Very excited

Luke and Yoda

Very scenic view of Groton Long Point

My UPS guy is very busy

Warrior baby

Santa is delivering these to Linc and Caroline

Helping wrap presents, because babies should totally have scissors

Evan’s “can” sentence: “She can be a superhero”. THAT’S RIGHT SHE CAN.

Seriously in love with my Rocksbox this time. I might keep the necklace.

This is their favorite game

Sleepy baby

That’s not my fairy!

Twinning

Fish girl

Surprised face

Destroyer of worlds

Grown up cards night

Caroline really thought we should keep them

Polar Express train at bedtime = tired baby

But he woke up for the cookies and Santa

Grocery shopping with 3 kids is a pain, but a baby who sleeps the whole time makes it better

This haircut cost me $37 – $17 for cut + tip, $20 for the Legos I promised him if he just SAT STILL

“This chair is like my THRONE!”

Making zucchini bread in our pajamas

That Lego set was totally worth the $20

He sleeps with his eyes open. NOT CREEPY AT ALL.

“Mommy, I love love LOVE Baby Lincoln!”

Showing off his kindergarten cubby at orientation

No one wants to hold my hand when Daddy makes an appearance.

All summer long the kids have been up at 6 am. I took this at 7:10 on Evan’s first day of school.

It’s such a shame she’s so shy and quiet.

Linc agrees that school starting is very exciting.

Obviously they’ve got the moves

I think her first day was fun?

Entertaining ourselves with shadows while we wait (FOREVERRRRRR) for Evan’s bus

I really hope she comes out of her shell at school.

Showing off his brother to his best friend

Farmer’s Market night gets an A+++++ for food and friends

I spent most of the morning like this. It was lovely.

They’ve never met a big, flat field they didn’t want to run across

My photography assistant fell asleep on the job. Again.

That is Linc’s “WTF are we doing in New Jersey?” face. Just a rest stop baby, chill.

She hearts books

There was a BAT IN MY HOUSE. I WAS NOT PLEASED.

Deep end of the big pool!

This is not an effective way to grocery shop.

More books!

I bought that outfit 5 years ago, when it was already too small for Evan, thinking my next baby would wear it. I took the tags off right before I put it on Linc.

New London! Surprisingly scenic!

He’s too cool in his TooQool

Aunt Carolyn brought him an elephant from Rwanda. The kids thought he needed to sleep with it NOW.

I love when baby stuff shows up in my mailbox. Especially when it’s useful baby stuff.

Up feeding the baby, all I can think is how much my closet needs to be reorganized.

They are singing sea shanties.

GORGEOUS day at the seaport

Aunt Carolyn read A LOT of books

Pensive? She’s going for thoughtful.

Farmer’s market = 3 year old heaven

That was my dream car when I was a kid too.

He’s going through a Lego phase again

Milk drunk

I showed her Grease for the first time. It was a hit.

Faaaaaalllll! Leaves!!!!!

Applessssssss!

Tank tops and snow boooooooots!!!!

More fall. That’s really all I’ve got right now.

We both needed a nap on Monday.

I’m really excited to finish editing these.

Cool fish sculpture that fills with water when it rains so the fake fish have somewhere to fake swim.

Every curb.

It was a really good way to spend the afternoon.

Who can pass up a deal like that?!?!

Ready for a terrible storm…in the children’s museum.

MY PRECIOUSSSSSSS.

My only photo: Caroline staring out the door for Daddy. I FEEL YOU, GIRL.

Pre-school selfies

Aquarium date

Twins?

Fall leaves & 80 degrees

Last farmer’s market of the season (so they BURNED IT DOWN!!!)(kidding)

AND a grown up date with some of my favorite people and a mountain of food

GORGEOUS lakefront property for my morning photo session

Basically everywhere in Connecticut is gorgeous right now.

Despite his face, he was very happy to be there.
