yesterday {pics from my sister's camera}

 walking at the playground.  only needs a hand or two to hold.  just barely.

 bridget and sweet little parker, who hangs out like this most of he time. 

quinn actually walking {just one step with the right foot} at the park after lunch.

quinn with two of his big cousins.

quinn and his auntie meghan.

sister is pregnant!

sister is pregnant!  i may have mentioned this a few times already.  she is having a boy, which could not make me (and quinn) happier.  and despite the fact that we live about six hours from one another, i know that these two boys will become great friends.  i already have grand ideas for meeting bridget halfway...say, in new york...a couple times a year so that we can have a getaway with just us and the boys.  and dammit, this is gonna happen!


we had bridget's first shower (for the NJ/PA crowd) last weekend. and it was marvelous!  bridget glowed the entire time, looking absolutely stunning (as always).  her non-maternity dress was perfect for the occasion and her bodacious ta-tas were there to party as well.


mom, erinn, and i put together the little soiree for forty.  it was a brunch and it was delicious!  i think i may have flexed my barefoot contessa muscle a bit, making buttermilk cheddar biscuits from scratch, blueberry yogurt cakes, bloody marys, and a zucchini goat cheese fritatta.  yes...erinn and mom made stuff too...yada, yada, yada.


we had a fabulous time (quinn too).
