Summer is here!

The first day of Summer was HOT and HUMID.  With temps in the mid 90's, Charlotte stayed cool in the pool.





Birth Story

We arrived at Southern Maine Med Friday night around midnight with mild contractions 3 minutes apart.  They continued for about 2 hours and then started getting more intense.  By then, I was 7cm dilated and got an intrathecal.  They broke my water and shortly after I was ready to push.  Three strong pushes and Caroline was born at 3:16am.

I told her to smile, lol!






Smell the roses!

Marbles!

Who knew that marbles are a hard to find item?  You can sometimes find them at antique shops and ebay, but they're not cheap.  It's a good thing Papa collects anything and everything!

Cousins

"Cousins are the first friends in your life. No one will ever understand your crazy family like your cousins. And, even if you don’t get together or talk as much as you would like to as you get older, they’ll always remain your best childhood friends…”



Her new sayings, "ouchy bones" and "stinky butt."  Love you Ryan!
