Our recessive gene baby.

Catherine actually took this one - it's my favorite. His hair has sprouted in the past month and he is definitely blonde! Posted by Picasa

He found his feet!

Catherine's soccar game

Catherine had a great soccar season. We all really enjoyed going to her games. Most of them were beautiful weather, until this one. :) She had a fun coach and fun teammates - all girls her same age. The rest of us enjoyed the fun atmosphere with the other families. Catherine was really good at hustling and cheering on her teammates. Posted by Picasa

The trip to Portsmouth!

The first highlight of our trip to Portsmouth was being greeted by the boys at the motel and introducing David Smart to his namesake. Posted by Picasa

David meets Nonna.

It was great to see Grammie's new place and we enjoyed her wonderful italian lunch! Posted by Picasa

Playing at Newcastle Beach

Friday after lunch at Grammie's we went to Newcastle Beach. It was a beautiful day! People climbed and talked on the rocks, played in the water and the David's napped. Posted by Picasa

Michael climbing on the rocks

Michael didn't bring his swimsuit to the beach (who knew it would be such a good day for swimming?) so Tim graciously let him borrow his. Posted by Picasa

Nice day to be together

Brudda's in the water.

The boys are still right at home in the water. Michael commented how amazing it was to feel good swimming in the Atlantic Ocean in September. The weather was so beautiful! Posted by Picasa

Touring Strawberry Banke

David was a good sport and came along with all the girls as we went to tour the restored area of Portsmouth called Strawberry Banke after breakfast at the Friendly Toast on Saturday. It was such a gorgeous day! Posted by Picasa

David and Tim

Tim bonding with his newest nephew. David wasn't always the happiest camper in the back of the car, but Tim was so good natured about it. He's been that way with all of our kids - always so patient and sensitive. Posted by Picasa

Pinchy would have loved this.

A tradional New England feast. I am proud to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my lobster and even dismantled more of it myself than ever before. Michael still helped me with the torso though. Posted by Picasa
