let’s go bruins!
this past saturday was a very good day to be a bruin fan. an exciting football game and a very satisfying win that’s been a long time coming. we had a few friends over to watch the game with us which made it all the more fun. so much so that i didn’t even take a single picture the whole time! aw well, maybe next time. to celebrate, this is how the fam bam dressed for church on sunday. oh how i love this shirt. ok, and the boy in it. so while i don’t have any pictures from this past saturday, i DO have some from a game we…

splish splash, revisited
because bath time is one of those tasks that have to get done over and over (like three times a week in this house), i have for you another set of jonah in the bath pictures. because he loves taking baths. and because he’s right at the adorably in-between baby and little kid stage where he can do some things like waddle his tiny self up the driveway all by himself but where he can still be scooped up and toted around in my arms easily enough. and so now bath time doesn’t require as much work as when he was littler and more slippery and less stable on his…
