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.

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

Sleeping in the hospital, looking slightly less yellow than when we went in.

There are THREE CHILDREN in this photo. I grew them all.

I need someone to come over and constantly reassure Caroline she is still adorable.

Sleeping smiles in my lap

Caroline and Harry Potter share their ennui

I haven’t decided what to eat this on, so for now I’m using a spoon.

Oh man, that face.

Flower child

Sleeping in the shopping cart while I but essentials.

ARM PARTY! (She made all of those)

Ice cream and farm animals because we HAD to get OUT OF THE HOUSE

Is she three or thirteen?

E was actually home long enough to see his children. It was exciting for all of us.

Sleeping baby in a hat

Baby sleeping in a fabric store

My no-theme, no-effort nursery now has a theme and some effort (my mom recovered the ottoman)

Tippy toes

Morning at the beach…

…afternoon in the sprinklers…

…evening at the playground. There was also lots of ice cream.

Apparently this year we love the birds

She also loves the dumb 5 minute 4D version of Rio

Battles not worth fighting: Christmas jams in JUNE

Guilty face

Lots of laying down because I wasn’t feeling great

Cuddles from this weirdo helped with the pain

We have the same eyelashes

Our kid dentist is super fun

ALL THE DRUGS ARE BELONG TO ME

When your chart says “Clear liquids” this is the only edible thing they give you for breakfast.

There may have been a sliiiiight lack of supervision while I was in the hospital.

Kindergarten orientation at his new big-kid school

She made a nest and passed out

Everyone wants to sit on Daddy

Who let this kid get so TALL? (Also pretend he’s not wearing the same clothes as yesterday. It’s another fight I’m not having.)

MORE couch naps. I have no idea what wore her out.

Evening walk to play with sparklers

I don’t actually know what time she got up, but she was asleep by 11 am.

My secret apple orchard

Too lazy to grill our own food means 5 Guys takeout on the patio

Field day for both kiddos!

AND swim lessons! Busy day.

I love my Target Starbucks but sometimes a girl just needs an Icee.

Won’t stay inside even in the rain

CUDDLES ALL THE CUDDLES

A long week finally caught up with him

She’s obsessed with the rhododendrons

Impulsive dinner out at Voodoo Grill and the best shrimp po’boy I have EVER eaten

STOP SHOWING OFF, MYSTIC

She wore this for most of the day.

She looks really happy because…

…BOUNCE HOUSE. We love birthday parties.

Hello New England, you look lovely from the air.

May the Fourth be with you!

Exhausted and swollen but shocked by how much I missed these kids.

Yay Spring!

Caroline picked me flowers

Who doesn’t love H&M?

Three going on sixteen

Not mad, just showing off the guns

Super happy Daddy is home

Someone threw money in this statue which only has 2 inches of water in it. I made the gingers put it back after they fished it all out because it felt like…stealing? Ruining someone’s wish? I’m not even sure.

The best ice cream in Connecticut @Mystic Drawbridge

Back in the hospital birthing center, my new home.
