Christmas '08

Dave and Kelly took us all to the Boston aquarium.  

It was really fun.  The boys had a blast.

Elliot... or is that Randy?

(Christmas Story joke)

Family photo op!

Gamma taught Hudson how to snowboard on one of Mark's old boards.

Hudson with the help of Daddy makes his 1st snow man.

Pop and Gamma convince the boys to eat snow.  

Hudson loved it, but Elliot wasn't so sure.

Jeremiah and Kenan Bradford came for a visit a couple of days before Christmas.  We had a really great time hanging out.  As you can tell from the picture, Kenan (due in March) and I (due in February) are both pregnant.  Yea!!!

Hudson's 3rd Birthday

My mom, with a little help from my dad this time,

 pulled off another excellent birthday cake!

Hud tried out his new baseball tee.

Pumpkin Carving

We carved a couple of pumpkins with my sister and Owen.  Erin decided we need a creative way to show off our carving skills.   Obviously we had a little too much fun with it!

October Trip to Boston

Good times in the leaves with Pop.

Hudson found some fuzzy caterpillars.

Apple picking with Pop and Gamma... 

We enjoyed a great apple pie from the fruits of this outing!

Elliot got some good reading time with Ma, Mark's grandmother.

Gamma took us to the Carlisle fire station.  

This is Hudson a little traumatized by the weight of a fire suit.

Gamma and Elliot in front of a fire truck.

We went to a pumpkin field and found the perfect pumpkin.

Couldn't not post this one...

Good times and lots of laughs!

Elliot's 1st Birthday

Elliot's 1st birthday, June 29th, 2008, was a really good time.  He LOVED his cake and had a great time opening presents.  He actually took his first couple of steps on his birthday too.

My sweet mom did a great job on the cake!
