The Bam Bam Era

Evelyn started removing her barrettes and chomping on them...so...the Bam Bam era has officially begun!

The side view!

Sydney's shamrock glasses! Below are some videos of Evelyn making some adorable sounds and faces.

Representing

Our friend Ashley gave us a very nice shower gift when Sydney was born with black and white photos of Sydney in the hospital. After an exhaustive search, we finally located the same frame so Evelyn could also be represented in our sun room/breezeway.

Spring Break in RI

We went to RI for part of our Spring Break

The girls had fun with Julie and her Wall Street Journal!

Yes, Sydney is wearing an awesome Animal t-shirt she got from her parents for Christmas!

Evelyn and her Great Grandma

Sydney, Great Grandma Faucher, and Evelyn

We went to the Providence Children's Museum.

Evelyn's Papa enjoys watching her make a mess of the soft blocks. She is now pulling up to a stand (as of St. Patty's Day)

The water room was a big hit!

Step 1: stuff in the pieces of material

Step 2: Watch the vacuum suck them through the big, windy tubes and Step 3: Get ready for them to come floating down on you!

The pursuit of the puffin legs!

We celebrated Nana's birthday in style (and you can tell Sydney was distraught about the prospect of cake!)

Happy Valentine's Day

Evelyn (who recently learned how to make kissy sounds) would like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.

Snow Angels

We've had our fair share of snow and tried to make the most of it!

You are not imagining things. The hill did get bigger after another big snow fall (and in time for Sydney and Evelyn's Nana and Papa to visit).

Sydney's snow angel is so much better than mine!

Sydney doing her ostrich impression.

Hooray for shovel rides!

The girls in denim.

Evelyn in the jumparoo with Papa playing the role of admiring fan.

Sydney and Nana attending to the serious business of making Valentine's!

Holidays

 Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. The three above are from Thanksgiving and the ones below are from Christmas on Long Island and New Year's in Rhode Island. The quote of the season was Sydney giving a gift to her new Aunt Kate and saying "Merry Christmas, it's a sweater."
