maple sugaring

We had a lot of fun today learning about maple sugaring at the Ipswich River Audubon Sanctuary.

listening to the explanation of how the sap comes out of the tree

Finn after tasting the “raw” sap

tasting the finished product – real maple syrup

I’m too tired to edit these photos (yes Finn needs cutting from this one) but can you stand Leo’s face? my goodness that’s cute

best friends.

6 Weeks Old Today

Mummy and Donncha

Recreating a moment

The above are Allan and Finn on March 25th, Finn was  6 days old.

Today we were outside and Allan said, this reminds me of that day with Finn…so we tried to recreate the picture with Donncha.

Nana’s Here!

Denny and Nana meet at the airport today.

sunny day!

tummy tub adventures continued

Finn checking the calibration on the tummy tub

Donncha listening to the tub being filled up

uh oh, hope this tub works!

Finn took this one!

Baby Chicks

Finn and I enjoyed meeting the baby chicks today at Green Meadows Farm

Finn took this one of me holding a baby chick.

Inspecting the chicks

After some time with the chicks we wandered the farm and Finn built a fairy house in the woods. It was for his birthday fairy…

Five Whole Weeks!

those cheeks are on their way!

almost a smile!!!

the boys arrived home from a busy afternoon in Swampscott, Finny was asleep in the car and Allan was asleep just as soon as the parking break was on!

Soccer Dad

On Friday Allan took all three boys to soccer practice. I am not sure if I was more impressed with getting all three carseats in the back of our car or with him getting there on time! 

Leo thought that it was pretty fun! 

And Finn showed off his best badger face…While I got a whole hour to go for a walk with no sling, no stroller, no toddler flying ahead of me on a bike etc etc!
