On Saturday we had Noah’s Baptism or “Dedication” as it’s known in the Unitarian Universalist Church where we are now members. It was a very challenging couple of days leading up to the big event but all came off without a hitch. Noah was very handsome in the same outfit his big brother wore on the day of his Baptism. His God Parents, Steven and T.Lee, both read very inspiring and moving passages and I am sure they will be excellent influences in Noah’s life. We’d like to thank everyone for coming especially Aunt Jackie and Aunt Wendy who came all the way for New Jersey for the big event!

We’re starting to be able to do things with “both kids” rather than just Zachary with Noah along for the ride. For instance, tonight we put them both on the swings. Noah seemed to really like it! We know Zachary did. The first things he says every morning when he wakes up is “SWINGS?”.

Unfortunately Laetitia will be leaving us soon. After a week of some bad weather we took advantage of the first sunny day and headed for Cape Cod. We drove straight to Provincetown where we had a great lunch and walk around town. Unfortunately our plan to have the kids skip their nap bit us in the ass, hard! But we rescued the day by stopping off at Nono and Nana’s house on the way home!

We will really miss Laetitia who proved to be very helpful with the kids and the kids just adore her. We will each need to grow a third arm to keep the house humming along. Thanks, Laetitia!

Noah’s taking well to his oatmeal (don’t let the expression on his face fool you!). Zachary continues to be absolutely adorable and is just in love with his Auntie Laetitia who is here visiting from Brussels!

The bike was a birthday gift, but I think the best gift of all was the way my son looked at me for bringing this activity to his life!

Zachary seems to be growing up a little more every day. I swear one day I’m going to come home and he’s going to ask me if he can borrow my car. As you will see, his new favorite word is “hat”. He is a very happy and gentle child who never fails to crack us up laughing at least once a day.

Zachary has made significant progress on his numbers this last week. We’re not sure why but he’s boycotting the number 8 for now. I hope you enjoy:

Here’s a bonus video:

On the first hot day of the season, Nono decided to teach Zachary to play golf. Here’s some still shots:

Today it was almost 80 degrees! So we hit the park across the street. Zachary had a blast. Noah, well he just lay there. But he smiled and cooed a lot!

I think this video about speaks for itself.
