Myrtle Beach Update
We are having a good time on our vacation down here in Myrtle Beach. Helena is not overly impressed with the ocean and has no desire to get her feet wet, but that hasn’t stopped dad from trying. We toured some gardens yesterday that were absolutely beautiful. They were about an hour away and it…
Read MoreLong Drive – Great Finish
Two days and 900 miles later we enjoyed a walk in the ocean at sunset. Can’t wait to go for a swim. Helena did awesome in the car but is very happy to not be in the car seat again for a little while.
Read MoreGoodbye Month 8, It was nice to know ye.
And a happy hello to month 9. Wow, I can’t even believe it. 8 months may not seem like much and I’m sure I’ll be even more amazed when 8 years has come and gone so quickly, but it’s still hard to believe. She is growing up so fast I can barely stand it. She…
Read MoreTubes Equals Better
It has been almost 2 weeks since Helena had tubes put in her ears and she is doing just fine. Maybe even a little better than fine. We are extremely happy that she is not shaking her head back and forth due to excessive fluid. She seems to be hearing better. And she does seem…
Read MoreOut To The Coast
After having a little spat with cabin fever we decided we needed to get out of the house. The destination was the ocean. Helena’s first trip since about 3 weeks old. She had a great time and seemed very impressed with the ocean this time (don’t think she even opened her eyes last time). But…
Read MoreMonth 7 Has Come and Gone
It has been an amazing month, and it is hard to believe that we have already entered month 8. Helena now loves her solid foods (as you can see by some of the pictures). She is super interactive now and seems to take in all of her surroundings, sometimes a little too much so at…
Read MoreMy Little Patriette ;-)
Helena was very impressed with the Patriots this weekend and posed for a few shots at halftime. This one was my favorite! I started calling her my little Patriette on Sundays. Seems more feminine that way I suppose. In any case, she is way too cute not to share. We’ll probably post some more pics…
Read MoreFour months and counting…
It is hard to believe that four months have come and gone. As of Helena’s four-month wellness checkup a little over a week ago she was about 26 1/2 inches long and she weighs 17 lbs. 6 oz. But that only tells part of the story. She has changed so much just in the last…
Read More12 Weeks on the ‘Lena’ Express – Lots of Stops Along the Way
Guest Blogger, Christine, here. Today is my last day of maternity leave 🙁 and I’m trying to check things off my to-do list. One of them was to get some recent photos (about 300 or so) downloaded to the computer and then uploaded to Smugmug. I’m happy to say I can check that off the…
Read MoreOn a collision course with Tom Brady
Aside from the multimillion dollar contract to play professional football, Tom Brady and I are more alike than I ever thought before. There are the obvious similarities, such as the fact that we both have beautiful wives, both have babies, and great jobs, not to mention that we both have rugged good looks ;-). And…
