For his third outfit change today, Mama dressed Owen in his new long underwear. He took to them immediately, and oh my did his blue eyes pop! With plenty of room to grow, these will be great for underneath the Halloween costume this weekend and on through the dead of winter. I can’t believe our [...]

This morning a package arrived in the mail with new big-boy overalls for Owen. Mama couldn’t wait to dress up her little man for a photo while the morning sun was streaming in the windows! As Murphy’s Law would have it, this outfit wasn’t long for the world. Moments after this photo was taken, there [...]
You are the apple of my eye.

The Sunday morning after our hike, we took advantage of the beautiful fall weather by driving to Smolak Farms in North Andover, where we enjoyed apple cider, apple cider doughnuts, and apple picking. Fortunately, we found a grove of trees holding delicious Macouns and Macs, with which we filled our bag before heading back to [...]
Owen’s First Hike

Last Saturday we hiked with Owen for the first time, to the top of Kidder Mountain in southern New Hampshire. It was a chilly day, but we kept a good pace and made a pit stop in a sheltered, sunny spot near the summit. As usual, Owen spent a good portion of his time in [...]
A chilly morning worthy of the union suit

Autumn in New England has arrived! A few mornings ago, Owen and Mama met friends Kati and Sammy Holland for a cup of coffee and a walk on the waterfront. There was a nip in the air, which made it the perfect morning for Owen to wear his hand-me-down union suit. He stayed cozy in [...]
Jamberry

Much to Mama’s delight, one evening when Owen was 11 weeks old she discovered that he was captivated by a book called “Jamberry” by Bruce Degan. In the book, a little boy and his brown bear friend go hunting for berries; while on their journey, they encounter a fantastic world filled with bright, colorful berries [...]

Once it was clear that Owen could hold up his head pretty well, Mama decided to try putting him in the umbrella stroller. The wide grin that spread across Owen’s face when Mama sat him in the stroller was all it took for her to realize that Owen was ready to roll.
The Last Gasp of Summer

“The Last Gasp” is a Cape Cod institution: a 60-mile charity bike ride from Sandwich to Provincetown held in late September each year. ”The Last Gasp” is also a nod to what is typically the last lovely summer-ish weekend on the Cape– what some people call “Indian Summer”. Daddy did the bike ride with several [...]
Go Pats!

Owen got his first taste of the New England Patriots with their season opener on Monday, September 14th (they’re watching their first game together here). Daddy says that Owen loves watching football but gets bored during the commercials. I can’t say I blame him.
Train ride to Exeter

In early September, Mama and Owen boarded the Amtrak Downeaster for Owen’s first train ride. He loved looking out the window at all the trees and buildings passing by, and charmed all the passengers who walked past our seat. We headed north to Exeter, New Hampshire where Daddy was competing in a day-long adventure race [...]
