the annual trek north to celebrate Baby Girl

just some favorite photos from this past weekend. =)

started out with a visit to Boston on Saturday. first stop, the most important place in the whole city. first time i have seen the red banner with my own two eyes. =)



this is one of my favorite things about Boston. it's not all skyscrapers & tall shiny office buildings. you never know where you might find a building with some personality tucked in.



and then there were kids. the birthday girl...


check out how much she has grown up since last year!

Miss Liv...


...who *really* went from last year's baby to this year's full-fledged little girl.

Sir Seamus...

...who looks the most like he did last year, just bigger.

and the requisite shot of Us Girls. never mind my hair. it needed to get cut June 2, but my stylist had an emergency & now it won't get done til the 16th. it was wicked damp in Connecticut, which, when combined with my too-long hair, tried to curl in all manner of craziness after being outside for several hours. so yeah, not the best photo of me, but whatever. they rarely are.

we aren't really that different from a year ago, unless you count that the two in black have little round baby bellies growing. =)
