new niece alert!

Molly Grace Winslow is here and we are ALL in love.  She is the teeniest little nugget and we are working on our gentle hands.  But who doesn't want to squeeze that little head sooo tight. 

Had to get that tight grip on Winnie's arm, my baby looking like a giant now.

Resident baby whisperer expert.

'Wow, my hand is as big as her whole head.'

Freeze

Oh to freeze time.  I could bottle up these ages of all my kids. Sometimes I would like to take that bottle and throw it in the pond but I'll take all the bad with the good. They are funny and loud and confindant and loud and cheesy and loud.

#1 dads!

My dad is cooler than your dad.  Did you know that in high school he once drove 3 hours to see me run a cross country meet that did not matter, 3 hours?!  I remember being mad about it.  So mad, that I ran my best time (ok, maybe the course was a little short) and he wouldn't have missed it for anything.  Here he is, a few years later, at all of his grand kids events.  He coached Theo's t-ball team this year, who likes to coach t-ball?!? This guy.  My #1 dad. 

And my best friend.  I set my standards high and he continues to blow them away every single day.  He loves us (and everyone he meets) no matter what, over and over and over.  His own father taught him well.  We hit the jackpot.

Celebrations

We had a visitor... Baby Silas!! (my sister came too)  We did lots of holding and poking and burping and breathing all up on him.  Thankfully he is the 4th kid and very used to it.  Thanks for visiting Aunt 'say-yahh.'

Adults only dinner out with the best fam.  Sleeping babies don't count.  

Sorry 'baaabbbyyy Silas' - we can't resist!

And another baby girl will be here soooo soon.  We loved celebrating the pending arrival of baby Molly at Boxcar Arcade.

Baller

Nash's baseball team, the Red Sox won the SDLL Championship AND then went on to win the 'Mayor's Cup' for Durham.  It was such an awesome little team with great players and families and THE best coach!

SDLL Champs!

I don't always wear a hat with my kids name on it, but when I do they make the nastiest diving catch ever and win the championship! Go Red Sox!

We drove in the neighborhood and saw this sign. Best neighbors.

My handsome baseball loving twins.  

MVP

I literally wake her up out of her crib to put in the car, in pjs, to get to her brothers games that will last all day long.  She smiles and ask 'where T-O? where Nassthy is? where jacksy is? oh no, where daddy?!' I tell her they are at baseball and she sings 'ta me out to da balll gamessss.'  The snackingest, sweetest, most supportive Orioles, Red Sox, Tigers Little League girl around.  You are the real MVP, Winnie Lou!
