Tegan's first time snowshoeing - at dusk in the yard with Patrick

The other Christmas card option...

This is how we get sunscreen on in the summer....

Maureen and Emma drove down last night to watch Tegan's first Christmas concert at St. Augustine's church. Grandma, Colleen, Nana and Papa were also squeezed into our row. It was awesome. Tegan knew all the words and she sang beautifully. So proud!

Trophy

Yesterday after I picked up Tegan from school, she went with me to wait in line at the State House in a very long, very cold line all to see the Red Sox 2007 World Series Trophy. It was all worth it...

Snow!

Its the day after Cristin's 30th birthday and a fantastic wine-filled, laughter-filled birthday dinner with 10 of our closest friends at Sarducci's, and its not even noon yet and we've got at least 8 new inches of snow. Luckily our neighbor with a tractor and plow stopped by after watching us struggle with shovels for about an hour and he cleared the driveway in 10 minutes. We paid him with Christmas cookies. This is what we love about this place - neighbors to plow you out for a plate of cookies and weather that turns all of the outside into a wonderland playground for Tegan and Finnegan (and Riley) in just hours.

Let it snow...
