Delhi Weekend

This weekend was a family weekend in Delhi to say goodbye to CJ and Claire's cousin Caroline Hall and support Aunt Maggie and Uncle Matt in their very sad loss.  We hope the weekend helps them both to heal and move forward as best they possibly can.

After the service, CJ and Brody became quick BFFs.  Although they hadn't seen each other since they were babies being pulled in the wagon at Maggie and Matt's wedding, you'd have thought they play together every day!

Getting ready to go fishing.

Didn't know dad was such a fisherman!  Likely that this is the first and only father-son fishing photo...

Unfortunately, they didn't catch anything...  Claire slept on the patio through it all.

What boys wouldn't love all the motor toys!

And exploring the old houses.  

Back at the house, Claire looked like a little doll in the little chair.  

Hay rides!  A first for us at Delhi.  

Uh-oh...daddy's bad influence

CJ loved riding the new pony.

Claire wasn't really interested though.

A few more photos from the weekend are available here.  

Recent Playdates

We've been busy lately as the weather has been nicer and mom is still on maternity leave.  Here are a few pics from some recent playdates.

Hanging at the house with baby Maggie.

At Marquand Park in Princeton with some of the other kids from Baby Boot Camp.  

At the Hopewell Elementary School playground with Ellie.

Claire - 3 Months Old

Here are a few pictures from Claire's 3-month birthday yesterday!

There was no doctor's visit at 3 months for Claire.  This past month, she's been starting to sleep a little better (~8pm until 3am), and she's smiling a lot and talking a lot!  She's also rolled from front to back a few times on her own.

Playdate with the Hurta's

Mrs. Hurta, Donnie, and Danica made the long trip from Stamford, CT to see us in New Jersey for a playdate yesterday!  We were so happy to see them.

The boys had a blast.

And the girls did too!

Aunt Rachel's Baby Shower Weekend

Claire went on her first airplane ride this weekend!  Mom and Claire went to California for Aunt Rachel's baby shower (we left the boys at home).

Before the shower, we took Claire for her first visit to the beach:

Claire also got to meet her great grandma Tutu.

And her grandpa Tom.

The next day, it was time to get ready for the shower!

Grandma outdid herself with the decorations:

And all the guests made their own onesies for the new baby:

Claire pretty much slept the entire time outside where it was quiet.

But she woke up just in time for presents:

Grandma loved cuddling up with Claire.

After the shower, we took a boat ride in Newport beach with cousins Lauren and Kurt and baby Brinkley.

 

It was a very busy weekend!  Click here to see all the pictures.
