Happy Father's Day!!

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the men out there who modeled excellent fathering to Andrew. You did a great job. Andrew is everything I could have ever wanted in the father of our children. Hats off to all the hard working dads!


Ben is growing growing growing. At 4 weeks he is just shy of 11#. Nursing him is the polar opposite of my experience with Zach, and it is really something to treasure. He's awake and alert much more these days, which is really more fun!


Sleep is for other babies! I don't need to nap! This is what Zach protests during his late afternoon resting time.

Picnic at Barnegat Lighthouse for Father's Day

Eating sea shells by the sea shore. Why eat what mom and dad prepare when you can pick random stuff up off the ground?

An excellent stair climber!

It was a leetle windy!

Giddyup!

We finally got a horse!

Awake!

Rocking horse video coming soon, we are experiencing some technical difficulties!

Getting ready for our haircut!

Newly shorn for summer!

Helping put away various sized clothes

Oh, mom, did you need this for something? I thought I would nurse the baby!

Capers! And Peas and Bread

So it isn't cooked yet, but this is the prettiest challa I've ever made. The secret? I weighed the sections before braiding so they are even!


We have some beans coming up. The tomatoes are doing well. The arugula and lettuce is not. But, oh well, I'll figure it out soon.

And the peas are coming out! Yeah!

The potatoes are doing great too. This is what a potato plant looks like.


Two rows of purple peruvian potatoes! I look out the front window at these every day and they make me absurdly happy!

Zach loves to jump in his crib!

You mean the Boppy is for Benjamin?

Umm, dad? I'm stuck!

Pictures

Not much narration today. Things are going great. Ben is gaining weight and breastfeeding is thus far, quite successful! Zach is adjusting, and generally doing pretty well!

Getting into a Groove

Well Ben has been with us for a week! We are all adjusting. Zach has been very gentle with him, and that seems to be a good sign. Zach has had a little trouble napping which could be the new brother, or could be molars. Ben is doing great, we have our 1 week pediatrician appointment today!

Working with dad on the vacuuming. I was looking at this picture and noticed how much Zach is now a little boy.

We all have toes!

Happy Daddy

Sleeping peacefully

Blueberries!
