Playground

Yesterday was such a pretty day! We enjoyed the warmer weather at the playground!

Daddy helped Sara to climb the caterpillar. She did a great job!

And made it all the way to his head! YAY!

We tried to teach her how to blow a dandelion, but we're not quite there yet!

Pumpkins and Apples!

On Saturday we headed up to Parlee Farms to pick out a pumpkin and pick some apples. Sara had a blast picking out a pumpkin.

They also had some goats and sheep we could pet and feed.

Also they had a hay play area that Sara enjoyed.

Finally we got to take the hay ride to the apple orchard to pick some apples. Sara was a little nervous about the hay ride. She loved picking apples and was much happier on the return ride!

There was a kitty cat that Sara befriended. She called him Toby, since that is the name of the kitty cat that lives next door and so apparently all kitty cats are named that!

We had such a fun day! When we left, we drove up to New Hampshire for lunch, but since Sara feel asleep, we didn't actually get anything!

Good news!

In case you didn't get that, Sara's going to have a new baby brother! Our little Pasquier is a boy and he's doing great!

Hanging around!

Winnie the Pooh wanted to watch some TV:

Sara's coloring skills are improving...

In this picture, Sara is supposed to be in bed, but knows better than to open the door..

And yesterday we fingerpainted. Since she was wearing a nice dress, I took Sara's clothes off instead of putting on a bib, here's what happened:

And here is a little video from dinner time. Right before this Sara wouldn't stop blowing on her food since she claimed it was hot. So needless to say, we missed that video

Parrain's visit

Last week we had our first official visitor: Parrain came for a visit. We did all kinds of fun things! We went to the Museum of Science and to the Head of the Charles Regatta. We had a great time!

Here are some pictures from the Museum of Science

On Saturday we headed out the Head of the Charles. It was fun to see all the people! And Sara loved the Kettle Corn!

It was getting close to naptime, but Sara entertained herself with the Hookie Pookie (That's what she says when you can't quite hear her!)

New England!

If you were wondering what a school bus in the Boston suburbs looks like, there you go! Most kids walk to and from school, so they don't have a huge need for buses.

I thought I would take this chance to comment on how nice people here are. We all know that "Yankees" as we call them in the South are supposed to be rude, stuck up people. However, time after time here the people here have proved that stereotype wrong. Whether its the guy who volunteered to carry Sara's stroller up a flight of stairs at a subway transfer (that didn't have an elevator) when I was by myself or the woman who helped me when I went in the exit at Target (don't ask!) people here are extremely friendly. When I am driving and suddenly realize that I need to be in a different lane, people let me over almost immediately... come on, does that EVER happen in Louisiana? Or when Sara and I are walking and 4 lanes of traffic stop without a signal to let us cross. I know pedestrians are supposed to have the right of way, but WOW! I find myself wondering if I am a kind enough driver! We've been pleasantly surprised by the kindness of strangers over and over and just wanted to do our part to end the stereotype of stuck-up New Englanders!
