Stroller Magic

Remember how proud I was of my stroller when the A-Team was born?  The stroller played a large part in our first Freedom Trail walk and was incredibly helpful for all of the wellness visits we had.

The amazing Britax B-Ready has transformed itself once again, this time accommodating one big boy and one little baby. 

Ta-dah!

Eternal thanks to Grandma who first saw this stroller when I was pregnant and recommended it to us.  And thanks to Baba Lida for giving it to us.  The Britax is still going strong!!!

Tom and Jerry

Want to hear A+A laugh out loud?  Turn on Tom and Jerry.  This is the most exciting TV they've watched in a while:

Family Gathering

We celebrated Noah's arrival with many family and friends:

Festival of Lights

Noah wasn't the only gift we received this year.  There were lots of celebrations with grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends.  Here are some videos and snapshots of the fun.

First, Ashley shows us her LOL:

Then the kids transformed our living room into an actual planetarium!

Tate loved wearing his monkey doll, especially in the evenings:

Ashley tried her hand at a latch hook project this year:

Homecoming

The kids were thrilled when Noah came home.  Tate was the first one to welcome him properly:

Hospital Photo-Ops

While Noah slept and I recuperated, there was time to snap a few photos:

Birth day!

Just like his big brother Tate???

Day 2

Day 3

Dressed to go home!

First Meeting

Lots of videos to watch and photos to enjoy today!  It's when the kids came to the hospital to meet Noah for the first time.  It was lots of fun.  The kids enjoyed meeting their little brother and eating all of Mommy's Andes candies:

Turkeys

A bit belated, but I'm sure you can appreciate that things have been... well, busy!  Here's the annual BDPS Thanksgiving Parade, Macy's style:

Jokin' Around

Sometimes you have the most fun just hanging around:

First Video

Noah is a technologically advanced child for his age.  He starred in his first video shortly after his birth:

Hello World

It is with great joy that we announce the arrival of baby Noah.  A+A+T are thrilled to have him join the family!

Room for Food?

With this many kids in the cart, there's no room for groceries. 

It's clear that we're going to need a bigger cart.  And soon!

The Author, Part 2

In this scene, Adam goes camping.  Chaos ensues, but then peace is restored.

"Once I went camping in my backyard."

"We went to the tent.  It was dark.  I could hear the cricits.  I did not know"

"Ashley got scared so she went inside."

"Tate would not let me sleep.  I told Daddy. Daddy got mad at Tate!"  Read the caption in the drawing.... "Tate!  You're going inside!" (Daddy);  "Good grief" (Adam); "waaa!" (Tate)

Daddy said "Tate you're going inside."  I said "good grief!"

I went back to the tent.  I was tired.

The next morning it was sunny.  I could see the lake.  I could see the tent.  I could see the oak tree.
