Gramma and Grampa babysat Thomas on their last full day while Mommy went to a conference.  It looks like they managed to get a nap out of him!

Thomas turned 8 months while Gramma Kathy and Grampa Jim were visiting.  We missed the diaper picture… oops.  But at least we got him in the yellow chair!

I’m hiking up a mountain again this year on May 30 to support Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity.  We improve communities one house at a time by working with low-income local families to enable them to become home-owners.

If you would like to pledge to support me in this endeavor, see my fundraising page here:

We now return to your regularly scheduled program.

Thomas’ beautiful baptism.  He wears a baptism gown that was made in 1917 for his Great-Grandma Carol.  Mommy, Gramma Kathy, Auntie Barb, Uncle Alan II, Auntie Fran and many cousins have worn it.  What a treasure to wear a 92 year old family baptism gown.

We had a good Easter.  Thomas is wearing his new Easter outfit and he found a basket the Easter Bunny “hid” in the middle of the living room.  And look, Thomas is wearing his very first pair of shoes!
