A cold day...

"Are we having fun yet?"

Coconut Macaroons for Tom...

Tuesday was Tom's birthday and I decided to for the first time ever try to make his favorite cookies - coconut macaroons - that his grandmother used to make for him and that his sister now makes for him.

As you can see it took some work and I never really got it just right...but I'm working on it...


Attempt one. Macaroon Blobs.


Attempt 2 - much better.


The final product. He tells me they tasted great.... I think he was just being nice :)

Nurse Becky

On Friday Aunt Becky learned that she had passed her nursing boards. We are so proud of her and excited for her to start her life in a job that is perfect for her! We had lobster dinner to celebrate -- we ate on our wedding china that we recently unpacked and on the beautiful dining room table from my grandma. The most exciting part of the evening were the balloons the girls played with/fought over for the entire evening...


You can see that she is a very pretty nurse.




Zoë likes to climb into things and read her books. In this case, the baby doll crib which drives Amelia crazy when she does this....

CHEESE! Three monkeys.

Another one bites the dust...

Well, our poor pumpkin Amelia has now come down with croup that Zoë had last week. She woke up in the middle of the night having a hard time catching her breath and coughing and crying hysterically. Tom (and Yoda) stayed home with her today, visited the doctor, and watched a lot of t.v. Tomorrow is a Mommy-Yoda day... we know she doesn't feel well because she fell asleep on the couch at 6:45 and barely ate any dinner... poor little baby...
