Merry Christmas

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas to all!

Megan had a wonderful Christmas. Santa was very good to her. She enjoyed Christmas brunch before Mom had to head to work and enjoyed trying out her new toys and hanging out with family.

Ho Ho Ho

Santa Claus came to town. As you can see, Megan wasn't exactly thrilled. Luckily she has been a very good girl!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas . . .

We got our first dusting of snow today which was perfect for picking out our tree and doing some Christmas decorating. Megan was fascinated by the falling flakes!

Thanksgiving 2008

Megan took a trip to NY for Thanksgiving this year. She thought the food was delicious, especially the green beans. It was great to see Grandma & Grandpa and Megan also got to catch up with Molly and baby Owen.

Sharon & Brian

Megan's Great-Aunt Sharon and Uncle Brian were in town last week and got a quick visit with Megan!

November Nothings

November has been tough month for Megan to adjust to. She was really loving her 4pm trips to the park which came to an abrupt halt when the time changed to Standard Time. Now unfortunately it is pitch black by 4:30 and cold. So, instead we have been having some neighborhood playdates with Will and Greta to keep the kids entertained before dinnertime.

Happy Halloween

It's been a busy couple of days leading up to Halloween. Megan got some use out of her rain boots, got to dress up in her grape costume at Mom's gym, and went trick-or-treating! We stopped in to visit neighborhood friends Will (the alligator) and Greta (the turkey). Megan received no shortage of treats. Happy Halloween!

Halloween Costume Party

Megan attended her first Halloween Costume Party with Dad and other babies born in the Spring of 2007. She had a great time as a "bunch of grapes" and is looking forward to trick-or-treating this Friday!

Connor's Farm

Megan got to meet up with her friend Chloe at Connor's Farm today. It was fun walking around and eating some pumpkin muffins!

Mid October

It has been a low key week with lots of fall fun. Megan had a playdate with her friend Will (he is only 1 week older if you can believe it). She is also getting excited about her pumpkins and upcoming Halloween. Today she said "trick-or-treat" for the first time.

Columbus Day Weekend

It has been a nice Columbus Day weekend with perfect fall weather. Megan is enjoying her toys and is always a busy girl.

Rainy Weekend

It was a very rainy weekend here but Megan still was busy having fun with Grandma and Grandpa. She had gymnastics and swim class, and we also went to the apple orchard to get some fresh apples to make pies! Megan got to see some of the farm animals too which is always fun, even in the rain.

Harvest Fest

What a fun weekend! We spent lots of time outside and also took Megan to "Harvest Fest" at Green Meadows Farm in Hamilton, sponsored by Ipswich Ale. What could be better than fresh local beer with farm animals and music for the kids? It was a perfect day to celebrate the last official day of summer.

Megan The Gymnast

Megan is loving her first session of gymnastics. She has so much fun running around on the foam mats and climbing, jumping and swinging. Her favorite is hanging onto the bar. She also really likes the trampoline and is totally exhausted afterwards!

Play Time With Will

Megan had some fun this week with her boyfriend Will from across the street. They had lots of fun in the wagaon and water table. What could be better than a friend to share your toys and snacks?

Labor Day Weekend

It's been a low key Labor Day weekend but we've been having lots of fun despite Megan getting over her first cold. She's still full of smiles!

Surf City USA

Megan spent last week in Surf City USA, Huntington Beach California. We had a great week enjoying the beach and pool. Megan enjoyed seeing lots of different CA sights. We spent one day in Long Beach, at The Aquarium of the Pacific, and also checked out nearby Laguna Beach, and Newport Beach. It was a fun week in the OC.

Megan Goes to Ohio

Megan took a road trip to Ohio to visit lots of family and attend Jack's graduation from Ohio State party. It was a busy weekend with so many new Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins to meet in addition to Great-Grandma O. Megan also was thrilled to be staying with puppy Cosmo and also got to visit with puppy Jake at the party.

Sandcastle Festival

Megan enjoyed checking out the sandcastle festival this year followed by an awesome fireworks display at Nana's. Summer is the best!

A Visit From Nannie

Outdoor Fun

Megan's friend Annabelle came over for some afternoon outdoor fun. The girls had fun in the wagon, pool and water table!

Happy 4th of July!

It is hard to believe it is Megan's second 4th of July holiday. Happy Birthday America!

Megan & Matt's Birthday

We had a special Birthday Backyard BBQ in honor of Megan's 1st and Matt's 30th Birthday! Megan enjoyed seeing everyone taste her first birthday cake. It is hard to believe our baby is now a toddler!

Outer Banks Vacation

We spent the past week in the Outer Banks of North Carolina enjoying some vacation time with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Ryan. We had perfect weather and Megan really enjoyed the beach and pool. Megan liked checking out the turtles in the nearby pond as well.

A Day At The Farm

We had a girls day out at the farm with Megan's friend Chloe. We got to see lots of animals and enjoy some ice cream on a beautiful day.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a very nice weekend with unusually beautiful weather. Megan was busy taking swimming lessons with Dad and spending lots of time outside. Today we went to the beach and swings!

Megan Turns Eleven Months

Only one more month 'til her first birthday! We took this picture as it started to rain. Megan was a great sport. In other news, Megan has been taking swimming lessons with Mom. Dad will take his turn with Megan this week. We can't wait until it's warm enough to go to the beach and put those lessons to good use.

Happy Mother's Day

Nana came over to join us for breakfast this morning. This was Jen's first Mother's Day, so I'm sure it was nice to have her Mom visit. Plus, we needed someone to help us finish all the french toast! Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there.

Busy Busy

Megan has been very busy these past few weeks getting into everything. She pulls up and stands any chance she can get. We now live in a "gated community". Grandma and Grandpa also came to visit this past weekend. Megan has been having lots of fun!

Megan's First Race

Megan ran in her first race today as the YMCA had their Children's Fun Run Race. Megan was just about the youngest to participate, but she still had a great time! She had lots of fun watching the older kids as well.

Megan Turns Ten Months

Megan celebrated her 10 month birthday today with Mom's friends Kirby and Kelli along with baby Chloe (11.5 months). We went to the park for a ride in on the swings and enjoyed the nice day.

Day at the Park

We took advantage of the nice afternoon to check out the swings and park. Fun in the fresh air!

Megan Goes to Florida

Megan, Mom, and Nana spent the past week having some fun in the sun in Florida with Megan's Great-Grandmother! It was four generations of girls spending the days at the beach and pool, along with a trip to the zoo. Megan also met a new boyfriend Tommy from Michigan. He is one month younger but weighs 9 pounds more. He was fun to splash around the pool with. Megan had a great time!

Will You Be My Valentine?

Happy Valentine's Day from our little sweetie to you. xxoo

Looking Ahead...

Megan was just crushed after the Patriots lost the Superbowl. So instead of being sad, she celebrated "truck day" with the Red Sox. That is the day all the baseball gear heads down to Fort Myers on the truck for spring training! Think Spring!

Super Sunday

Well it appears Megan has her first crush - Tom Brady. She can't wait until the Patriots make the season perfect at 19-0 after tonight's Superbowl! Good luck Patriots!

Megan's 7 Month Check Up

Megan finished up all her immunizations today until her first birthday so Mom and Dad are pretty excited about that! She now weighs 15 pounds 2 ounces and is 25.5 inches long. She is laughing all the time and trying to touch everything she can get her hands on. Here are some pictures from the past couple weeks and Grandma and Grandpa's recent visit.

Megan Turns Seven Months

Lucky number Seven! Megan continues to amaze us. She is getting bigger by the day. Here are some recent photos.

More Snow

Megan was out in the snow today as it was Mom's first snow storm that she did not have to go to work! Although, that meant Mom had to shovel the driveway so Dad could get home this afternoon. Megan enjoyed looking at the flakes and getting some fresh air.

Perfect Patriots

The perfect 16-0 New England Patriots take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday, and Megan is ready to cheer on the Pats. She knows Tom Brady will lead his team to victory, and she is ready to cheer with her Brady bear. She's hoping Mom and Dad will fill her in on the victory in the morning since the game is on after her bedtime. She will be dreaming of another victory! Go Patriots!
