Cold Spring

Shortly after the return from Florida Heather returned to work and Tessie started day care. She took to the bottle without an issue and transitioned well. So did Heather, although she misses spending time with Tessie during the happy daytime hours. The evenings are usually spent soothing the tired baby, and as a result she has  gotten to watch Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones. She's not absorbing any of it, right?

 We had a couple of big March snows. This is second one - over a foot and so bright you've got to wear shades

We think that Tessie looks a lot like Caroline. See for yourself.

Who's this little guy? It's baby Dad.

Tessie is one day older than Aoife, the daughter of one of Mom's colleagues

 Erin has been great big sister to baby Tess-Tess and helping out "cute little Mom-O" and "cute little Dad-O"

Tessie and some of her new friends.

Tessie is a happy girl most of the time!

On St. Patrick's Day we were visited by a leprechaun. He was so naughty that he kept the seat down when he peed and didn't flush afterwards


Tessie's colors are purple and yellow and her mascot is the elephant.


Unlike Erin, who could make her name from Caroline's letters, Tessie needs a different set. Thanks to Aunt Carol for giving her these.


Chicken bone

That's baby Claire!

Yes, those are egg-hunting gloves on Erin


This year she competed with the big kids and filled her basket


Sad girls


Happy girls
