Watermelon and a broken flower

Georgia was eating watermelon and helping me put flowers in our vases the other day. We were having a blast.

Georgia's flower was broken. She thought it was so funny.













Of course she couldn't put the flower down to eat the watermelon.











Cheese!













You want me to say cheese again?














This one smells funny.















Cheese again!

Quinn found his feet!

Quinny found his feet last week and loves playing with them!

Maine

We had a great weekend in Maine. Swimming, light boating, napping...all around relaxing. We needed it after a crazy 6 weeks getting our house ready to go on the market (5 showings so far!).







Wooooo hooooo!













My babes (all three). The only pic I could get of all three of them. Granted Brendan's head is cut off and Q is chewing on his hand, but there they are in all their glory.
















G juicing up for the big rock throwing event.



















The boys getting ready for fun in the sun.

















No Daddy! No more smooches!













Super dog Rocky loved jumping off the rock for sticks or rocks (he wasn't picky). He swam so hard his tail was sore.











Super dog!













A girl and her super dog.

Quinny is on solids!

Quinny weighed in at 77% in height and 34% in weight at his four month appt last week. He is pretty long and already fitting into 6-12 month clothes. The Dr. also gave the go ahead for solids. Upon his first taste of rice, Quinny made an awful face, choked, and puked all over himself, his seat, and Mama's work clothes. Yay... After Mama made it a bit more soupy he started to smile and grunt for more! more! more! Later that night it was peaches for which he wasn't a fan. But the next day he fell in love with blueberries, pears, and bananas. What an eater he is!

Daddy and Quinny!

Daddy and Quinn had lots of cuddle time this weekend in Maine. See the two of them performing for the camera.

Big News

So...we are moving to San Diego! That's right. Georgia and Quinn are going to be California kids. Just in time too. The other day when I was dropping Georgia off at daycare she told me she wanted to go to the "potty." I got so excited and said "yay" then started to take her to the bathroom. She said "no mama" and pointed up the stairs to where they had a party a few weeks back and said, "the pahtty!" I realized she was saying "party" with the New England accent (which for those of you who aren't familiar sounds just like "potty"). It was quite disturbing (no offense to my wonderful friends with NE accents).

Catch up

Things have been crazy lately. Here are some pics from the last few weeks. We'll catch everyone up on emerging news very soon...


Quinn had his first Mum Mum the other day. He loved it and got really upset when it turned soggy and he couldn't grab it anymore.











G and B wrestling around.




















It wasn't really a fair fight.

















But they both were having fun.




















Smiles all around.











Even Q had a super smile (as usual).
He laughs like an adult. It is too cool.















G is having fun with Q now that he is a little more interactive. He still thinks he is wiggly and loves to give him kisses and hugs.











Look at my two babes. G is growing her hair out so we rarely see her eyes.


















SPRINKLER! The teachers at school said she is a bit of a girly girl. I think this picture says it all. Guess Mama will have to teach her how to climb trees in her high heels.

Mama and Q

During one of the last mornings of maternity leave Q and I had a little photo shoot. Georgia and I used to do this too. As you can see, we are madly in love :)


Mama and Quinn.














Quinn is three months old here!














Here is one of Mama and Georgia that was posted when she was about 5 months old.

Mama has a few more wrinkles since then and Daddy has a lot more gray hair!

Aaawww

I was reading "lots and lots" of books to Georgia tonight while Daddy took Quinn for a walk. During "Counting Kisses" Georgia turned to me, put one hand on each of my cheeks, looked into my eyes very seriously and said "You are the best Mama in the whole world." The she smiled and hugged me.

I'm not sure where she picked that up, but it made my heart melt.

Babies Sleeping

I snapped this pic of G and Q sleeping in the bed after getting up. What cuddly little creatures they are. We love it.

Quinn's first day of school

Quinn started school this past Monday. Here is a pic of his first morning. He had a good week and enjoyed getting to know his teachers. Mama of course cried several times the first morning and all the way to work after dropping him off.

Happy Fourth of July!

Quinny (as Georgia calls him) was full of smiles this Fourth. He and Mama are both sad she has to go back to work on Tuesday. He is excited to go to school with Georgia though!

I've been trying to post a pic of Quinn turning over for the last couple of weeks but am having problems posting. It was a big milestone!




















Georgia wasn't keen on having her picture taken today.
