Smolak 2007

Here are the photos from our trip to Smolak Farms in North Andover this year. As usual we had pumpkin picking, cider donuts, farm animals, the hay ride, and ice cream!

I found out after downloading the photos that the lens was dirty and so we have a hazy effect on all of the pictures. It adds to the dreamy memory of the last day in September.

Back in real time, Sam had his 2 month check up yesterday and got his next round of immunizations and booster shots. He clocked in at 24" and 13.9 lbs, which is between 70th and 90th percentile. His weight is just right for his height.

More More Baby Days

Here are the rest of pictures from August. This one, from August 19th, shows the sandwich stealer. I had one just like it, now Henry has one. Hmmm.

Also from the 19th, Henry entices Sam with an airplane and we learn where the trash goes.






Here are a couple from the August 20th pediatrician visit - 1 week old and working on getting back up to his birth weight.




A few from the 22nd of August. Lunch at the Ginger Pad. Then off to Ipswich River Park for a romp on the playground and a stroll with sleeping beauty.






From the 24th, Nanni with her youngest grand-child.




That is it for the photos from August. Coming up in the September pictures are baby bathing, brothers being brothers, York Beach Maine, and the Smolak Farms trip.

More Baby Days

More pictures from the first days of Samuel Emerson Holt. This one is from day 3; the rest are day 5, our last day in the hospital.

Traveling in style...

Home at last. This is home, right?


Henry is also back home after staying over with Nanni and Bubbie



Back in the current time, we spent the weekend at a home show on Saturday and Smolak Farms on Sunday. As a result, we have 2 appointments for design estimates for replacing the back screen porch, some cider donuts, and a big pumpkin with a funky stem.

Henry enjoyed the hay ride and animal zoo. We all now know what a zebu is, too. We have pictures coming soon. And more baby pics too!
