Stud Puffins

A few more puffin photos:



A razorbill and a puffin:

Do you know the puffin, man?

My puffin trip was worth every penny! More about that later, but for now here's just a couple of the hundreds of photos I took on my trip:

Maine Day at Fenway

Sunday was Maine Day at Fenway. It was SOOOOOO hot! We took pedicabs from the parking garage to the park. Here's Delaney and her friends.

Kingfield Days

Saturday we headed to Kingfield for the parade at Kingfield Days and to visit with the family. I think I OD'd on baby cuteness.

Not a baby, but still cute. Declan:
Lots of Willow (6 months):








And some Ronan (almost 2 months). He looks a little scared in this one, like that other baby might eat him:




No black-and-white for you, Ronan. We need to see the tie-dye onesie.

Salem

Delaney's 8th grade trip back in June also included a trip to Salem.

This is the House of Seven Gables (as in Nathanial Hawthorne's House of Seven Gables):

This is what I learned about gables on the tour. To be a gable, the peak has to be the same height as the original roofline:
You can imagine how thrilling this information was to a bunch of 8th graders.

Delaney and her friend Allyson:
And this is just funny:

Phoebe's Haircut

Phoebe got a haircut last week, and the silly clothes I buy her actually had a practical use for once, because she was shivering(from cold or embarrassment I'm not sure).Blurry face here, but you've got to see her shirt ($1.00!):
She will never win a beauty contest (but hey, neither will I):
She was still shivering even in her shirt, so we wrapped her in a blanket. This is just like what Chris did with the kids when they were babies:
