Nutshell...

There has been a severe lapse in the blog updates.

I'll try to encapsulate the last couple months with a montage of pictures.

Time robs me of the ability to narrate with the usual detail.

Enjoy!

Uncle Kenny spent the better part of 2 hours reading to Nathan. I think they went through almost every book at Nana's house.

A rare moment where Josh and Nate are both smiling at a camera.

Joshua and Jackson talk around the water table.

"Have you heard the one about the daddy, the poopie diaper and no wipes?"

"Ha ha... yeah, that's a good one!"

4th of July! Joshua is not happy about the Red Sox game play going into the All Star break.

Papa Bill teaches Nathan the basics...

First dip in Nana's pool

The water table is open for business again. The yard was never so much fun!!

Who's 1? Oh... you're all singing to me?

It took Mummy a while to submit, but Joshua was finally allowed to have CAKEY FACE!!!

Papa "no problem, mon" Ken

Nana Laura reads one of the many library books she has gotten Nathan.

I'm the baby. Gotta love me!

1 year stats: 19 lbs. 4 oz. / 30" tall / 181/2" head

He had to have 3 shots at his check up... did NOT like that!

Nathan decided it would be best for Daddy to fill the water buckets while he gave instructions from a safer distance.

Cousin Caitlin teaching Josh how to make prank calls...

It's for you!

"DADADA..." translated: "I picked this specially for you!"

Doesn't he look proud?

Joshua has been very helpful with removing some of the clover that Daddy has not been able to get to this summer.

Broccoli you say?

Not bad (ate it all...)

Deep thought...

The forecast calls for high waves and possible flooding in some areas.

How cute is this!

How cute is this?

Hot steppin! Joshua starts walking at 12 months (Nathan started @ 11... score keepers)

Somehow the balance greatly increases with something in your mouth...
