New Life

I'm so proud of Sarah. She calmly got through contractions beginning at 2:30 AM and gave birth to Tyler at 11:54 AM with a huge smile on her face. How could you not smile at the new guy though.

Sports Illustrated

Why do we take these pictures to embarrass these kids? Because they're hilarious and for future embarrasment.

But anyway, the little guy loves his Sports Illustrated. He loves it even more on the potty.

Yo, Afternoon BBQ with the Deaners and Holts!

We were graciously invited down to Providence to spend a fun filled afternoon with the Deaners. Who else happens to show up? The Holts! On tap, grilled pizzas, t-ball, and kicking bombs!

Released from his car seat, Ben loosened up and started kicking bombs around the yard.

Then he showed Josh how to coach people in t-ball.

The disappearing ball trick.

Noah was bothered all day by paparazzi.

Ben paid a visit to Santa taking a break from the cold north (Berlin, NH).

I lost my hair.

Allergy boy isn't normally allowed to play with ketchup. Tiny tyke ketchup is hypoallergenic.

Touche'

Sarah enjoyed the sun in the garden.

A second rare Kreg Holt photo! (thanks for the borrowed flash)

The boys showed some luv to Kate.

They were getting hungry.

Ben and Julian teamed up to push Noah's car.

Gotcha!

Cute bat boy.

Welcome to The School of Kicking Bombs!

Um yaaaaaah, find another goalie. I think I'm going over there,



Yup, out of the net Charest!

Time to go. What a great day.

Soooo, our family is growing. Likewise so is Sarah's baby bump. Here's some tracking shots. He'll be coming out sometime in September. We're not exactly sure when because the doc and the ultrasound tech aren't friends. Nonetheless, on with the pics.

Thunderstorm

In the past few weeks, New England has had some crazy weather and lots of Boomers! One surprised Ben while eating his fishies. But the good thing is he's not afraid.

Nana and Pepere's Camp

For a quick weekend away, we headed up to Errol to visit Nana and Pepere's camp. We expected rain all weekend but ended up with beautiful weather...and lupine.





Ben is starting to really love camp. With all the possiblities to see moose.



And wear fun moose hats.



There's lots of room outside to run around and no cars except his.




He took time to see and touch everything. I'm not sure if he liked these flowers.




We'll be back soon.
