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.

Watching “the robot show”

That’s MY soccer shirt from when I was a teeny tiny terrible soccer player

A+++++ PRO PARENTING

Swim class kicking practice

Dinner made and delivered by someone else is better than any dinner I can make. Plus WINE.

BABY HANDS

Caroline says “That is a lady with a gun giving it to another lady”.

2 week check-up

I got my rug! Now I just need a crib and I’ll be almost done.

4:30 am is toooooo eeeeeaaarlyyyyyy

TOTALLY WORTH THE DRIVE

Wearing out kids + dog

Good morning, Sunshine

Good morning, Sunshine (literally)

Last summer, Caroline REFUSED to get in the water or in any boats. This year she rode on all the things.

We are both very relaxed

Evan found a friend and they had a GREAT time jumping

My parents got a boat and a tube. It’s like the WANT to make it as hard as possible to stay away.

AND they made breakfast. My parents are the best.

Tiny baby rash guard and suit = best

S’mores to cap off an awesome vacation

Toys on the porch are more fun than toys in the house

Cuddles. Very grainy cuddles.

NOBODY MOVE, THEY’RE QUIET AND HAPPY.

Swim lessons are the best day of the week

The royal family

Hey look, there are my feet!

Outside is much more interesting than another non-stress test.

Dog feets

FACE SAYS HELLO

Om nom nom nom watermelon

Om nom nom nom frozen yogurt

Eggplant parm made by a princess

TRAPPED IN A GLASS BOX OF EMOTION

You’re so vain, you’ll sit on the floor of the grocery store to look at yourself in a mirror

Mormor is an excellent bedtime reader

SAND. SAND EVERYWHERE.

Fish

Mermaid

Oh no, where did Caroline go?

Frozen watermelon = even better than regular watermelon

Daddy feet! We haven’t seen those in a while.

Who can possibly feel that depressed in the shoe aisle at Target?

She’s a fish

At least it makes a good shelf for dessert?

More fish-like behavior

Fort time

Naps

I woke up and was STILL PREGNANT

The princess accompanied me to my growth ultrasound

Summer means letting them stay up until they ask to go to bed

When it is too hot to do ANYTHING, buckets of water on the porch are good enough

My hero

Maybe some day I’ll need some baby clothes

It’s was a little humid

That drink is 150% sugar.

Showing off her floating skills

That is not the baby I was hoping would appear while I was at L&D

I made a giant pasta salad that no one else in my family eats. I am a selfish pregnant lady.

My cat says: For real, are you ever going to have that kid?

I LOVE MY BEAR MOMMY!

It was a really long, really hot week and by the end she wasn’t super excited about the fireworks

Obligatory blurry firework picture to prove we made the effort to go see them.

Be quite! I am working on my puter!

Traitor cat prefers my husband and doesn’t care if that hurts my feelings.

Footie jams in summer: sighting #1

Outside swim lessons are exciting

Our collection of Wendy’s kid meal clicky things is now very impressive

Adorable sleeping hands

Beluga watching

Obsessed with Friendly’s, like all good New England children

Aunt Amy sent Caroline some costume jewelry. Caroline likes ALL of it.

He told me he was sailing to New York City

There is so. much. sand. in my car.

Dance recital finale practice is more fun for her than me

Grocery shopping is cause for fancy dress

Two of a kind

Dress rehearsal (The routine was to Deep In The Heart of Texas, which starts “The stars at night, are big and bright…”)

8:30 am, lazy baby. (Footie jams #2)

You’d think she’s never seen grapes before.

Falling asleep on the couch is one of the best parts of summer (Footie jams #3)

Baby prep day! Now we can spy on the children without missing The World Cup…

We have one extra place to set the baby down (beside the borrowed rock’n’play and the free basket)…

And I have drunk so much red raspberry tea I might actually turn pink. COME ON BEBEH!
