Tommy - 10.5 months
Noah - 15 months
These two guys hammed it up together the entire weekend! It was a great time! Good friends, gourmet food, Rockport downtown eating/shopping, hikes (and a few wrong turns), and of course lots of laughter and catching up. We each took turns in preparing a meal for the group - there was definitely some talent in the kitchen! Ken and Mer's fish entree should be a featured dish somewhere - it was so good, Connor and I tried to recreate it the first night we returned home (no comment)!
We miss everyone already. This is such a wonderful group of friends - I learn so much from everyone. Amy and I are in the same life chapter, so hearing how she does life - The Big Balance - her daily strategies for chaos-management, friend-outlets, and social skills with a ten-month-old definitely taught me a few things. She and Joe are so happy, and Tommy is so darn cute (as you see in the videos)! Mer just got her Board Certification as a Behavioral Analyst. She is one smart mama (figuratively, not literally - just yet) - and is an extremely kind-hearted and genuine person. She works with developmentally-challenged kids around Noah's age and up, so just hearing her daily obstacles and stories was a strong reminder of how very much we have to be thankful for.
Here are a few special moments from our trip:
1 - Family pic in downtown Rockport.
2 - Daddy and Noah barefoot on the patio - note the cord we are dragging (still The Thing)
3 - Babies figuring out how to stuff an etch-a-sketch pen (another one of Noah's faves) into a box opening. Great part about this photo - notice the adult konked out for a nap in the background (yeah Brent) - grown-ups took better naps than kids this trip - is there a point in life when this 'reversal' happens?
4 &5 - Babies boarding a Corona box together (note the etch-a-sketch pen, still in hand)...and babies in box together...a Corona box together...that about sums it up!
6 - Tommy's smile. :):)
