Dog Sitting

Today the boys and I went over to our cousins' house to take our dog-cousin, Toby, for a walk.  Jack LOVES to do this and does not take his responsibilities lightly.  Ryan is still a little unsure of Toby, but they are becoming fast friends too.  It was a GORGEOUS day out for Fall in New England - which is a good thing.

Typical Ryan fashion, trying to catch something in his mouth of course.  I think this time it was my camera strap.

I love this shot because you can see the fuzz on his head.

Chatter box  :)

Toby and Jack just RUN.  I honestly don't know who is walking who sometimes.

You can just see the "fun" on his face.

Ryan had a good time discovering.

This is Jack saying that Toby was ready for a nap.

Movers and Shakers

Just some randoms of my two faves...

Jack's pout face.

Such a little flirt.

Very intense; concentrating.

My walking boy.

Pumpkin Pirates

My little baby man is officially one.  Although he does toddler things, eating everything but baby food and having Mommy chase him all over the house, he still has that baby face that makes me just want to snuggle him as if he were still a little bebe.
My parents and I took the boys to Eden Farms.  They had a lot of fun playing in the pumpkins and running through the "scary spooky house."
Here are some of the shots I took, celebrating Ryan's first year.

This one is my favorite.  I love his curiosity.  There was a man watering some plants and Ryan was in a trance.

Jack loves the haystack maze.

Back from Paradise

Holy cow!!!  My husband and I just got back from an amazing vacation down to Excellence Playa Mujeres in Cancun, Mexico.  We went there to celebrate my 30th birthday (ouch) that is coming up in November, and my brother in law's 30th birthday that took place in July.  My brother in law, Andy, was there with his fiance, Liz, and so was my brother, Eric, along with his wife Julie.  There were many, many, many laughs that we will have memories of forever.  Between us girls, there were 500+ pictures taken.  Here are some of the ones that I took, early in the mornings...

This was the pool right off of our porch.

Ah yes, the lazy river.

I love this shot of the ocean and beach.  I like all of the different forms...

beach.

These sails were the only color along the beach, so they really stood out against the sand and ocean.

This was a bed at the X Lounge, or the HO Bar as we affectionately called it.
