New England Aquarium

Scott and I brought Camden down to Boston today to visit the New England Aquarium! We had a great time exploring the different exhibits and showing Camden all the animals! It was a super busy day at the aquarium with tons of school groups, but we managed to still have a great time together! Here are some pictures of our day...













We ended our adventure with a stop at my favorite restaurant, Bertucci's, on the way home. This is the best pizza ever!


Camden didn't last all that long at the aquarium so we made it home in time to have a family afternoon nap! A perfect ending to a wonderful day!

On another note, my brother-in-law, Brian, just proposed to his wonderful girlfriend, Sarah!!! Scott and I are so excited for them and to welcome Sarah to the family! Now we have Jeff and Ashley's wedding to look forward to in May and Brian and Sarah's sometime next spring! YAHOO!!!!

Here are my awesome two future sisters-in-law...

Fun, Fun, Fun!

What a wonderful week we had this week! Camden and I kept busy with playdates, visits with family, playing in the snow and swimming! Scott and I also gave Camden his first haircut! It was getting really long and we just trimmed it a little in the back and over his ears so it isn't so stringy. We both agree that it definitely looks much better now. Here are some pictures from our fun week!

This picture of Camden was taken on Christmas morning and kind of shows how long his hair was getting...

Here is his new haircut!

Camden sat perfectly still watching Sesame Street songs on my computer while we took the scissors to his head!

Playdate with Jordan! Jords lives in the dorm next to us on campus so we have lots of impromptu playdates in the afternoons when either his mom or I are going insane and need some company!

Camden checking out the mini-snowman we made together!

A pretty view of the mountain from our front yard...

Love this face...

Dancing with Pop during their visit from Vermont on Tuesday...

We had our second playdate with Camden's new friend, Henry, on Wednesday. Scott was able to come home for about 20 minutes while Henry was here and he entertained the kids while Heather and I ate apple crisp and ice cream in the kitchen! :) What an amazing husband I have!

He's pretty good at juggling two!

Camden in the locker room before our swim class on Thursday...

Linden and Camden together (it's hard to get them to stand still long enough for them both to be in the same shot)!

A chilly mommy and baby after class! Brrrr!

We had a great time playing with Ami and Clara on Friday over at Ami and Bepa's house...

Love him!

Cousins...

We have another exciting week ahead. Students leave campus from Thursday - Monday for a long weekend and we are looking forward to a quiet dorm! YAHOO! We're planning on an adventure to the New England Aquarium with Camden during one of our days off! Can't wait!

Just Another Week...

A peek into our week...

In many ways it was pretty ordinary week...
We cleaned up our Christmas decorations which Camden was not very happy about...

Read some Sports Illustrated...

Had lots of Mommy/Camden time...

...and did LOTS of laundry (this was just an ordinary day...wow...we do this multiple times a week PLUS all our cloth diapers! Yikes!

We had some wonderful moments this week too...
On Thursday Camden and I went to our first Mommy and Me Swim class at the beautiful new Upper Valley Aquatic Center just over the line into Vermont. We are doing the class with my friend Molly and her son Linden who live here at Proctor with us. The class is just 30 minutes long and includes some fun little songs and games and is really geared to help your child become more comfortable in the water. Camden was very hesitant for most of the class. He clung to me like a little monkey, but started to get more comfortable near the end. We stayed and played in the pool for another half hour with Molly and Linden, and by the end Camden was jumping off the edge of the pool into my arms and immediately doing his sign for "more." We're definitely looking forward to next Thursday and I'm excited to see Camden grow more and more comfortable in the water. (I'm going to try to bring my camera next week and see if I can get some pictures)!

Scott had a really busy week with classes and basketball practice and various meetings, but today we enjoyed a beautiful sunny walk together through the Meadow. The highlight for Camden was discovering his shadow as we walked across Carr Field! It was so funny to see him try to wrap his head around what he was seeing. He had fun jumping on Mommy and Daddy's shadows and watching our reactions. Here are some pictures from our walk...
