hanging with papa

papa and thea were best buds this trip, spending quite a bit of time together. so much time that they even developed their own language. zack and i are still trying to decipher what she means when she launches into papa speak. it's great to be home but we miss papananapapa and nanapapanana.

the warmest of welcomes

thea and i arrived in boston this morning and went straight from the airport to lucy and john's place before heading to newburyport. we were greeted by a very grown-up william who is walking and talking. he was extremely excited to see his cousin and shower her with affection. thea was reciprocating for awhile but then became a little overwhelmed by all the love.

at one point william thought that sharing his super cool iPhone would buy him a few more kisses but when he got the cheek, he knew he needed to step it up. the cat and mouse game moved to the fireplace where he tried to entice her with a few of his patented dance moves. it's pretty priceless and well worth the three minutes if you have the time.

i'm so glad john caught the exchange on video, though i don't think i'll ever forget it.

hippity hop

we've got a full day ahead of easter brunching and egg hunting with our little bunny.



enjoy your day!

no joke

thea has been up for an hour and a half in the middle of the last three nights: 1-2:30a, 3-4:30a, you get the picture. at first i thought it was her cruel version of an april fool's joke, especially since she slept through the night without a peep for the entire month of march. but alas, it's been three nights in a row and it's NOT FUNNY.
