easter

Aunt Beth has most of the Easter pictures (including the Easter egg hunt) but I had one cute one that I wanted to share.  The dress was once mine!

trip to the beach

One of Matt's favorite places is the beach, so we try to go when we get a sunny weekend.  The weekend started off sunny...  heh.  But it was cloudy and windy by the time we got to the water.  That's ok, Matt and Allie were happy to contemplate the ocean regardless.

Allie left her mark, however temporary, in the sand.

trip to meet Caper

From Pennsylvania, we drove up to the Berkshires to visit Lala and Oldtimer, and to meet their new dog, Caper.  Allie was happy to lounge on the porch in the sunshine.

Caper liked Allie!  She kept brining her presents.

Lala had the swing hung up in the apple tree.  Allie was very excited, as her favorite thing in the world to do is "swhim".  

Happy baby!

PENNSYLVANIA

After our trip to New England, Daddy had time off too!  So we took a drive up to the vacation house in Hawley, PA.  Allie learned how to blow bubbles on this trip.

Though I think she ended up eating some too.  Oops!

Allie found Daddy's sunglasses and decided to try them on.  We decided they looked just as goofy on Daddy.

Yay! Pennsylvania is fun!

visit with loek and ari

After visiting Becca in Boston, we traveled down to Cape Cod, to visit Kate and her family.  Allie and Loek had lots of fun playing.  Here, Loek is showing her how to play in the dog's house.

We went to the playground one morning.  Since there wasn't much Ari could do other than swing (which he did a lot of!) he spent some time sitting around, contemplating life.

Until he found that he could crawl through the tunnel.

When it was time to go, Loek was very gracious and walked Allie to the car.  How sweet!

We hope to get back there soon!!   Do you have room for all of us, Kate?

Visiting Becca and the New England Aquarium

Sorry this has taken so long to post - I've been very busy!  But way back when, between my OB and Peds rotations, I took a trip up to Boston with Allie to visit Becca.  Of all the places we could go, Becca decided she wanted to take Allie to the Boston Aquarium.  So we took Allie on her first subway ride (on the T) from Cambridge to Boston, down to the wharf.  Somewhere I have a picture of Allie sleeping on the T... maybe on my phone?  Anyway, Allie missed the subway ride there, but really had fun on the way back - especially when the T crosses the river at Charles St.  Underground - aboveground - underground again.  Cool!

Becca and Allie were both pleased with the aquarium idea.  (Hi Becca! You two match!)

The jellyfish exhibit was very mesmerizing.  You could watch these guys swim in circles all day!

We also really liked the GIANT tank in the middle - you could examine it from all angles and from different depths.  We even got to watch some scuba divers feed the fish!

Hi Turtle!

Hopefully we'll be able to go back to Boston soon.  I miss it there! 

Will update soon! I promise!

Sorry I've been a loser about posting.  We have a whole bunch of adventures that need to be posted, but I've been lazy.  All of the pictures are still on the camera.  They haven't even made it to the computer yet!  But soon, I promise.  In the mean time, I put up an oldie but goodie for your viewing pleasure.
