Father's Day

Erin soaks in some late afternoon sun

We went downtown to see the sea life at the New England Aquarium. We saw turtles, sharks, an octopus, and lots of jellyfish. The next day we asked Caroline what she saw at the aquarium and she said "penguin poop". I guess that's what interests a two-year old.

Mom (& Caroline) enjoyed cupcakes for Mom's birthday

And we went for a walk in the rain (since it has been raining for about 2 weeks straight) in our new BOB double stroller, our (only) big splurge since Erin was born.

I guess we're overworking Caroline with all these videos

Fun Around the House

We've had a stretch of beautiful late spring weather, which combined with a pause in our travel schedule has meant spending quite a few weekends around the house. Caroline now runs full-tilt all over the place, accumulating the bruises and skinned knees of a roughneck toddler. Erin wants to start moving sooo bad, but all she can do so far is raise herself off the ground. She'll be moving soon.

Erin loves the swings!
