Halloween in Cape Cod

This was truly a great weekend. We braved the airports and flew with Julia to Cape Cod to visit Uncle Dave, Aunt Paula and cousins Alex and Anna. Julia was amazing on the plane. So well behaved. She slept during the car ride. We had a great lunch Friday with Dave in Onset and then met up with the kids and Paula at their house. Their AMAZING house. They moved into a new place a bit ago and it was our first time staying there. It is magnificent! Brian and I agree the hidden bar between the library and kitchen is probably our favorite feature. Julia liked the walk-in closet....and she said it's not just because her pack and play sleep area fit so well there. It is because a walk-in closet would provide enough space for her ever expanding wardrobe and accessories.

We walked on Main Street in Falmouth, picked up some gear--including a Cape Cod tee for Julia. We were fed extremely well, courtesy of Dave. He even made Julia some of her first squash. Check out the video. We dressed up for Halloween...I'm partial to the homemade costumes, especially since i can't justify spending money on something that will only be worn for 20 minutes. And so, tada, my homemade Lorax costume.

We just had a great time (thanks again Dave and Paula). Julia was so upset to leave on Sunday that she wailed the entire time in the car. But then was great on the plane. We even got home a little early so we could pick up Bella that night and have time for a bath. What a wonderful weekend.

Enjoy the photos!

This is what I have been doing.

Yes. I haven't updated anyone in a while. Truthfully, there hasn't been much camera action. Between packing up, moving out, moving in, unpacking, and the notorious fourth quarter of work... and a computer that is dying (are you listening, Santa?). I can't get anything done! But I did create something at work that I'm super proud of. You should watch it. Over and over. And share it. And like it. That's the thumbs up button. I art directed, executive produced and helped promote this video on all the free channels that we know of. Including this one! My blog. So enjoy.

Fond memories

I know. It's been a while. But days like today...with the clear blue sky and the crisp air, remind me of our week at the beach. That happened a month ago now. How things change in one month. Lots to update everyone on. But first, let's share some photos from the amazing, incredible, fun, giggly week we had with these guys . It was an awesome week. The kids did so great together. And they were so much fun. The only photos I don't have, that I wish I could share, were from our first night there. I took the four kids down to the beach and the sun was setting and shining through the clouds. The ocean was so warm. We put our feet in. One thing led to another. And then Julia, Alex and Annalisa were swimming in their clothes. But never happier. The smiles I saw that night were priceless. I will never forget the sun shining in their eyes and how happy they were. Which was good, because that night of swimming held them until Thursday. The red "no swimming" flags were u...

Sleepless nights

For the past week and a half, the entire house has been waking to sounds similar to this coming from that little Schuyler body. We've tried feeding the kid more. We've tried putting her to bed earlier and later and with less blanket and more music. I guess she's just at that age when she enjoys being a night owl. Hopefully it won't last long. Luckily, Schuyler is super cute and very happy when we go in to see her. She hugs so tight and tries to eat your face. It's very comforting...except that her talons are super sharp and she doesn't sit still long enough to make it easy to cut them. As I keep hearing, this too shall pass. And I'm sure we'll miss our midnight rendezvous adventures and snuggle sessions. But, truly, we just want a few hours of quiet sleep. Schuyler, if you can read this, there is lots of fun to have in the daylight hours too!
