Madeleiene and Benjamin playing on the beach.

Madeleine playing in the "pool." Elizabeth bought this pool six years ago for Milo. Now the kids love playing in it. Madeleine and Benjamin sitting on the chairs that are just their size.

Playing with Legos. Madeleine has been having so much fun playing with all of teh new toys on the Vineyard.

Sharing a snack.

Strawberry Picking

Elizabeth, Benjamin, and Katharine invited us to go strawberry picking with them today. The weather was not great but we still had fun! All the kids looked so cute in their rain gear.

Katharine poses with some flowers. I tried to get Madeleine to stand with her but she was too busy.

Walking out to the strawberry fields.

The problem with taking a 15 month old strawberry picking is that she does not want to wait to eat them. So, against my better judgement I allowed her to eat dirty strawberries. Oh well, she seemed to like them.

Inspecting it to see if it is worth eating.

They even had animals!

Madeleine liked walking through the mud puddles...

Conn BBQ

We had a BBQ on Saturday night with a few people from Conn College. It was a fun night and we actually had a sunny night. We have not had much sun here for the past week.

Madeleine was sleeping so we had to use the lender in the garage.

Paul made very yummy rotisserie chickens

Zoe and Wick

Connecticut College class 2004.

SCARY!

Madeleine had a lot of fun playing with Brian... I don't think he realized that he was going to have to babysit Madeleine when we invited him over!

Madeleine had a blast being pushed at high speeds.

We celebrated Zoe's birthday a little early.

Byron was so tired by the end of the night!

North Shore

Katie, Zoe, and I went to Swampscott on Saturday to go to brunch with Jillian. We wanted to have a little pre baby celebration.

Jillian poses with her Brooke (the baby's name) cup.

Here are a few pictures from dinner at the Kaplan's

Madeleine was Baptised on Sunday June 7.

Her Godparents are Katie Carr and Brian Tyler. She was Baptised at St. John's in Hingham. We took a few pictures outside after the service.
