wishing we were in CT

zack is away this weekend visiting his family and i'm more than a little sad we're not there. i love when family is all together in the same place, it makes me so happy.

thea and i made the best of our weekend alone and took a trip to sea world. i have VERY mixed feelings about sea world, especially after seeing this, but we already had one year unlimited passes and it's just so damn convenient. it takes us less than 10 minutes from our front door to get inside the park and thea can run around until she drops. today we went on some rides and saw the shamu show. then i let her play in the padded pit, which is the equivalent of putting her in a hampster wheel, she's totally exhausted when she's finished.

here are a few photos with some of her favorite sesame characters:







and waiting patiently for shamu on an unseasonably cold day in san diego:

kinkle kinkle

if you listen closely you'll hear thea's version of 'twinkle twinkle little star' with a little 'baa baa black sheep' thrown in for good measure!

some photos taken today with a new camera app for my iPhone. the stitches in thea's lip fully dissolved yesterday. all healed!

early april

i'm attempting to get caught up and wanted to post some photos from our easter morning.





like father, like daughter

off to see the wizard

we're just this minute packing up the car to head to LA. thea has another surgery in the morning and we need to arrive at the hospital at 5:30am. keep your fingers crossed and send us lots of positive energy tomorrow.

here's a couple of my favorite recent photos, taken this weekend.







sorry i've been so out of touch. i promise to be better. love to all.

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!
