So many children, so little time.

It's so hard to keep up now that our help is gone. We had Grandma for almost two weeks, and then Nana for 10 days, and then the whole family came into town for Ava's naming. We were terrible about taking photos that weekend, but Matt managed to snap a few at the kiddush afterward.




Since then, Ava's been working on her tummy time:



And Jonah decided that Tigger wanted to hang out in the Baby Bjorn:



We got Jonah to stand near Ava long enough to take some photos, but Ava refused to smile:



But since she sleeps six or more hours most nights, we've forgiven her!

Happy Second Birthday!

Work stresses, child care stresses, and a disfunctional internet connection at home have all contributed to making it harder and harder to keep up with all that Monkey has been up to. Fortunately, the child care stress is more or less solved (although we miss our 'Bine, and it's only been one day since her last day!), the internet connection should be fixed on Monday (fingers crossed), and work stress should dissipate once I leave for our conference in Florida in 12 short days.

Here are some photos from Monkey's two birthday parties. We had one on the 17th, for his daycare friends, at the Pru.



We also had another one, on the 19th, at home, for other friends and family. They were both lots of fun!

Cousins!

We spent a long weekend at Passover with Grandma, Aunt Carrie, Uncle Brian, and cousins Samantha and Landon. Here's a series of photos that recreate that classic family photo dilemma...how many do you shoot before you give up on that perfect snapshot?

I guess the fifth time's the charm!
