The Meeting

Carter & Liam met for the first time this weekend.

I can already imagine the trouble these two will be getting into together!

Odds & Ends

Here's a few of the pictures that have been piling up over the past week or so:

"There's nothing better than a warm blanket after a bath."

"Training for the next Olympics."

"Giddy up!"

"Wazzup???!!!"

"I've got the whole world in my hand..."

I received this note early this morning...

Daddy,

Happy Father's Day!!! Mommy took me shopping and I helped pick out the cards and gifts from Athena and I. I had to take a cat nap but up until then, I was really involved. I hope you have a great Father's Day...I look forward to all of our father/son moments. I already think you are the best and coolest dad around. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, Daddy.

Love,

Carter & Athena

Rodin's sculpture...

...would've looked much better had he been able to use this model!

Paging Dr. Pavlov

For some strange reason, this is the face he usually makes whenever he hears his mom's voice.

What could that mean? Hmmm.....

Welcome to the Family!

Hi, Liam. I can't wait to meet you.

Love,
Carter

(The Last) Baby Shower

Well, this past weekend marked the clsoe of our Baby Shower season.

I had been working with Ann (unbeknownst to Nichole) to arrange a NNY baby shower. Planning was going fine and we were shooting for a late May weekend to surprise Nichole with, but she & Carter decided to "alter" those plans.

After the dust settled we finally decided on a date and threw the "surprise" element out of the window (just in case Nichole had anything else up her sleeves).

Despite the forcast of possible thundershowers, the day could not have turned out any better.

Once again we were blessed with many wonderful and thoughtful gifts from our friends and family.







Looks like our little man partied a little too hard!





Thank you to everyone who came and thank you, thank you, thank you to Ann & John for being the ever-wonderful hosts!
