Chicken dance

For further elaboration on the complex relationship that evolved over an hour or so between Miss E. and her new chicken friend at Drumlin Farm, a brief film:

In like a lion, out like a lamb

First of all - apologies for being shamefully lax in our posting recently - where did all of March go?? Wow!

Now, on to spring! The last 6 weeks or so have been a whirlwind of late-winter snowstorms, early-spring thunderstorms, and a too-quick trip to Southern California thrown in amongst it all.

A hair-raising experience (har-har) at the Museum of Science in Boston.

Heeeeeeere's Eva!

Story time with daddy.

Eva Out & About

After returning from our vacation to two feet of snow, we've been patiently waiting for spring. And as the weather gets warmer, Eva gets speedier and "talkier." Her preferred mode of transport is running...while yelling. She's also developed strong clothing preferences. Blue fleece sweater please!

Her first taste of ice cream (quickly followed by her 2nd through 10th tastes).

The lack of beach weather didn't keep her from repeatedly trying to get into the ocean.

Cruisin II, High Seas Boogaloo

Well, it hasn't snowed around here for a few days...but it did rained for a few hours before deep freezing Now everything is solid ice...more reason to post a few more shots from the cruise!

Water baby, err, water toddler.

Cruisin'.... Part I

We just returned from an absolutely fabulous week of sun, swimming, and loved ones, having taken off on an eastern Caribbean cruise with Grammy and Poppy I. and Tio Loco (a.k.a. Tod). Eva was particularly taken with her "wa-wa"-view cabin. We have since returned to 2 feet of snow and the sub-freezing temps of a Boston winter, but cherish the memories of warmer days!

The view from our Miami hotel room over Biscayne Bay, with our very own cruise ship in the background! (Yes, it's that big. Wow.)

Wa-wa! (As viewed from the position where Eva spent countless minutes over the ensuing week.)

But seriously, guys....have you seen all this wa-wa??

Who let Eva into the casino? Everyone knows she doesn't know when to fold 'em!

Enjoying the baby pool on board.

Someone's been having too much fun and passed out in her lunch - party foul!

Enjoying the rock wall - Eva's turn is coming up soon!

More to come soon...

Technical Difficulties

Our apologies while we undergo a temporary blackout on new posts - our camera is currently MIA, and we're slowly coming around to the realization it's probably not temporary. As soon as we find ourselves a worthy replacement we'll be right back with new pics... promise!

In the meantime..... Happy '09!!!
