Hey, I'm four months old today!

I've got new skills! I like to roll over belly to back now

Ha ha, now I'm on my back, I rock 

snow fun

It snowed quite a bit last wednesday and we all went outside on saturday to enjoy the snow with daddy home. Nothing fancy just in the front yard and on the snowbanks

Bruce on the giant snowplow made snowbank

throwing snow

daddy and his mobile posse

Even mama  and Eliot made it outside

today's outdoor fun suited Ollie better (like he could walk on the sidewalk and enjoyed being up high on the snowbank)

snow quality control

woo hoo snow!

Blizzard fun!

Yesterday it snowed and snowed, so we made banana bread!

Today we frolicked, or the older two did anyway...

Ollie all dressed but not too mobile...or happy

snow princess

self timer mode....little Eliot buried in the sling under the coat...ollie's head..

so close, just believe me, Eliot is in there ;)

45 minutes to get outside, and I took Ollie back in after 7 minutes....life w/ littles...

And we leave Maine...

We skee-dattle out of Maine, with one last pit stop at the family restaurant in Windham. parting is such sweet sorrow...but the food is great!

The last of Christmas: The Maine cousins

We ended the week after Christmas with a big all Maine (and Massachusetts and California!) cousin event. It was quite the night at Mummi and Pappa's!

look what you started!!! good job!

all mummi and pappa's grandbabies, with 2 extra cousins thrown in (and aunties steph and Bridget because our toddler boys were being a wee bit high maintenance...)

Daddy and his siblings (and gabe too)

Auntie Spring and Uncle Rich take it all in

2cd cousins Kelsey and Erin wtih 1st CA cuz Alyssa in between, or as we call her, "big alyssa" (for her age and height relative to my little ones)

dessert time!

homemade gift success: super sock the superhero sock puppet!

batman sock puppet, BRILLIANT

Phoebe and Molly help lily put on her princess sock puppet they made her, delightful!

if you have a family full of lovely girls, there is likely to be a dance number on tap!

the older girls and double dream hands...ha ha

Gillian especially enjoyed this part of the evening ;)

the big boys looking cool
