fishing

Scott and Tom planned a surprise for all three boys on Saturday morning. Scott ran to Dunkin Donuts and got a dozen donuts and Tom went to the bait shop and got 100 crickets for their first big fishing trip. By big, I mean across the street to Pop and Loni's to fish off the dock. It worked though, Marshall caught a fish on his very first cast. Scott said he wasn't particularly interested in touching the fish but he was happy to pose with his catch. It worked out that they just walked across the street because his two year old attention span didn't last much longer than this first catch. I think more than anything he enjoyed this time with his daddy.

catching up

I've been playing catch up on the blog. Keep on scrolling for lots of updates on these two!

big bow

Grandma got this bow for Lily before she was born. It's ridiculously big and I LOVE it! I recently saw a onesie that read, "The bigger the bow the better the mama." So true! Thanks, Grandma!

lily girl

Baby girl has been growing like a weed and doing all sorts of new things. I was so much better about keeping up with the milestones when they happened with Marshall. Such is life with the second baby. So...while this is late, I still wanted to document all the things our sweet Lily girl is doing. She really is SO sweet. We just love her to pieces.


she sits!!!

gives herself her bottle (special thanks to Poppy for the blue eyes!)
Grabs and plays with her toys. She entertains herself pretty well but especially loves to watch her big brother play.

she eats!

Lily started eating rice cereal at about five and a half months old. She has done great with solid (if you can call it that) food. In addition to rice cereal she also eats peas, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, and apples. She has loved them all!

5 months...

and about the happiest little muffin ever. She's just yummy!

(photos were actually taken on her 5 month birthday despite the fact that she is almost 6 months now)

first day/last day

Marshall's school year ended at the end of May. He had a great year in Ms. Tanna's two year old class. I took pictures on his last day of school and couldn't help but compare them to the pictures on the first day of school. WOW...how do they change SO much in such a short time? Ugh..I hate it. If I could figure out a way to keep him little I would totally do it. I love this age!
