Hard Work

Porter and I tagged along with David out to Hingham, MA on May 11th to "help" one of David's attendings with some yard work. David got Porter all dressed up and ready for work.

First time wearing shoes.

During our outing, it started raining. Part of the job was hauling off a bunch of weeds/brush to the local dump. David and Dr. Mancuso decided to drive the car down in the yard to pick it all up. It went down easily, but unfortunately did not come back up as easily. They got stuck. Porter and I watched from the kitchen windowseat as the SUV wheels spun and spun kicking up mud, but going no where. Porter and I said lots of prayers that they would finally get out. And they did. Unfortunately I don't know if the grass in that part of the yard will ever be the same. Oops!

Photo Test

David has been wishing, hoping and dreaming of a new camera for years. Then with the arrival of Porter, I finally jumped on board to get something new. In true David fashion, he's been researching cameras for several months and has a good friend in our ward that is well versed in the world of cameras, so they have spent hours talking and comparing different cameras. A couple of weeks ago the camera arrived, a Canon 6D . This past weekend we went out on a photo shoot of sorts so David could teach me some tricks since I know nothing about cameras besides how to point and shoot. It was a lot of fun and the pictures are so much better than our old camera. Although, it's going to take me a bit to figure it out and learn how to manage a camera and a baby.

Here are a few of the photos from our adventure to Hall's Pond and then downtown for dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown and a walk around Boston Common/Beacon Hill with friends.

I felt like I was getting my senior photos taken, so I had to strike a cheesy pose.

Tummy Time

someone is 3 months old today!

I can pose myself now!

 

Sometimes tummy time is just too hard and I have a melt down.

3 month's old today!

Return of Romeo and Juliet

Every spring, the swans Romeo and Juliet are returned to the Boston Public Gardens and there is a ceremony and parade. A bunch of people from the ward decided to head down there to participate. To be honest the whole thing was a bit cheesy and would not have been that fun if we weren't with friends. So, I guess it's lucky that a bunch of friends went.

Growing Boy

I want Porter to grow up, roll over, sit up, talk, reach for me, say "ma ma" and "da da", but all at the same time I don't want him to get any bigger.  I want him to stay my little baby.  But his baby face is turning more and more into a little boy.

David snuggling our little man.  I think he gets jealous of all of our snuggles.

Could he get any cuter?

Caught in the act of spitting up.

Peaceful baby boy.

This boy wants to go to a Red Sox game.
