Madeline’s first haircut
Since she was born, Madeline had never had her hair cut. Lost plenty to hair ties and brushes, of course. This past weekend we decided to go with Michelle and Jen so Madeline could...

Madeline turns two!
Madeline had a Sesame Street-themed birthday party this year! Lots of folks came – Mem, Pepe, Liza, Beaug, Sue, Tim, Olivia, Pookie, Lis, Jackson, Michelle, Jen, Henry, Scott, Kristy, Bryce, Rowan. We also had...
My Cup Runneth Over
I’ll be the first to admit—I was nervous about having another baby. I had so many concerns: how would another baby affect our current easy, breezy family dynamic? And how in the world could...
Madeline & Nora
A quick selection of pictures from our first few days with Nora.
Madeline’s in the Pool
My family took Madeline swimming while we were up in Canada last weekend. Here are the pictures they took:
Can Am Cup 2014
Last weekend, we headed up to Canada for the 7th annual Can Am Cup. The trip didn’t start off great – Nicole got a ticket in New York State, not far from her debacle...
Halloween 2013
For Halloween this year we decided to act as if Madeline and Henry were twins or siblings (as they pretty much are) and dress them up as a costumed pair. At first, we planned...
Madeline turns one!
Our little Madeline has come a long way. These are similar photos at 3 months and at one year… she still loves the light Pepe put up for her (click either to enlarge): Here...
Quick post : Madeline turns 6 months
Madeline is 6 months old today. Before heading off we held an impromptu photo shoot in the living room:
Maine-spotting
We took Madeline up to Maine for the weekend. Nicole scored us a great deal at the Harborside in Bar Harbor. And when we arrived we told the folks at the front desk that...
Headed to Maine
Tomorrow we are heading up to the great state of Maine for Madeline’s first road trip. We have some lighthouses and quaint little towns we both want to see, and I had some vacation...
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
Spent yesterday up at SQL Saturday #146 in Nashua, NH. Today was a nice lazy day at home. I left only to drive Scott to the airport, then to go pick up this box...
Madeline’s first bath
Yesterday her bellybutton fell off (finally!) and we were able to get Madeline wet. (Apparently, though, we were supposed to wait.) She seemed a little, um, apprehensive about this process in any case:
Say cheese!
Today I kind of got Madeline to smile:
The days are blending…
Yesterday Katrin, Sven and Lucy came for a visit. In the afternoon we took Madeline to the pediatrician to check on suspected thrush. Last night close to midnight I turned to Nicole and said,...
A great visit
Today we had Ron and Sharon over for dinner – all the way from North Bay, on their way to Michigan. Just don’t look at a map to try and figure out how far...
A photo shoot is worth, well, something
We had our newborn photo shoot with Madeline this morning down in South County. No, I don’t have 400 pictures to share. In fact I only have one from the whole shoot – I...
Madeline is 10 days old
Madeline’s sleeping habits are stabilizing, becoming a lot more predictable. Three nights in a row she has given us four hour stretches of sleep. We’re also better able to predict her poops: basically every...
Madeline at home
Madeline hiccups a lot. I’m not concerned about this, I just feel bad – sometimes it seems to scare her. She’s also very sensitive to sudden sounds. Poor Kirby is going to need a...
