Aaron and friends

The visit to Massachusetts included play time with Abby and Max. The kids loved the slide that Jonathan and I used to play on. They also enjoyed climbing the stairs, which was a little nerve-wracking.





That afternoon, we had a visit from Aunt Nancy, which was also nice. They were very cute together. My father would have loved it.

A visit to Massachusetts

Aaron and I spent the last five days visiting Massachusetts, where we spent time with grandma susan, uncle jonathan, judi, cousins nura, mark, alessandra and reuben, and friends cate, abby, rebecca and max. There were also various friends of the family who dropped in to see Mr. A. I didn't think to take all the pictures with my camera, so some are still on my mom's computer, but here are the ones I did capture. I LOVE the ones with Reuben and Alessandra.

I would swear this was jonathan as a baby!!

Aaron also attempted to help me put bean sprouts into some Pho at a Vietnamese restaurant in Worcester. I think more got into the catch-all pocket on his bib than into his mouth, but he tried his hardest.

Of course, he kept reaching for the wine bottle...

A berry good time

We went strawberry picking with Hope, Aidan, Elle and Carolyn this morning. We arrived at the patch right at nap time so Aaron was a little fussy, but he held it together well. It's hard to be cranky in a field full of ripe snacks. I am a little peeved, because our trusty camera is failing. Half of my pictures are grainy or blurred. Is that supposed to happen with digital cameras? If you embiggen the pictures, you can see how stained Aaron's face is. We got right in the tub when we got home.
