Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from the purple "Stay Puft marshmallow" girl!

Museum of Science

Everytime I go to the museum of science I remember how cool it is. I really really liked it when I was a kid and I still do now as an adult.

Nate, Tighe, Abby and I went there for a bit today to check it out. Here are some photos of the action.

Are you my motherboard?

Oooh electricity...

2 feet tall?

More trippy mirrors

Funky round window in the discovery center.

I think we overstayed our welcome, Abby was ready to go home by the time we left. Tears and all in this photo :(.

Liberace or Mozart?

Other Abby news: she took a few steps the other day at daycare.

Are we doomed now to be chasing around a very mobile baby?

Hey I want some of that one...

New Police Car

Abby the state trooper.
Abby says "I don't need donuts, I'll just have these fingers..."


Of course I had to try out the car myself...

but I broke the door when I tried to get out of the car ;-)

Santa visited

Having a bath with my cousins

Christmas Eve

We hung out with the Archibalds in Bristol last night and had a great dinner of roast beef and mashed potatoes. Abby, Lincoln and Lance were all surprisingly well behaved and had a blast.

I had to let Lance open his present from me on Christmas Eve. As a kid I always hated waiting until the morning for all the gifts from my relatives.


Mr Fix-it

Herding Cats

Since Grammie Jeannie wanted a christmas photo of the 3 cousins Kathy and I had to play shephards to the 3 very wiggly cats.

Attempt 1 - Place all kids in front of the tree:

Attempt 2: return busy body Lincoln


Attempt 3 - Try to get 3 kids to look at camera


All this for the final product - 1 successful photo :-)

Love my red wagon :-)

Little Red Wagon

Abby got one of her Christmas presents early.

Chocolate Kiss

I let Abby have a piece of strawberry dipped in chocolate this weekend ;-)

"Sorry Mom I didn't intend to get green frosting all over you."

Just thought she looked cute here in front of the tree...


Jared thought Abby should wear a Santa hat like the rest of the kids.

"No thank you"

Kyle Sanborn turns 2 :-)

Stacey's youngest Kyle turned 2 this weekend so Abby and I went up to Nashua to celebrate.


Here's Abby with her friend Jared

Abby and I hanging out on the carpet.


"Um excuse me, we are trying to get through this aisle."


"For some reason I always thought Santa would be taller.... "

"Is Connor trying to make a move on me?"

Baby Loves Disco

Went to baby loves disco today in celebration of Jack's first birthday. For those not familiar, baby loves disco is kiddie party at a rock bar. They have food, drinks for parents, disco balls, dj dance music, bubbles, toys.. etc Basically it's a club night for baby.


Esther is groovin' out with Abby and Jack.



Jack says "hey bebe - can I get you a milk?"

Ran into David and Lisa Kasparian there too. Here's a photo of Abby and Eva on the bar stools.

A few more

Since Abby in a christmas dress will distract you from the flaws in our tree....
