Shucking and jiving

Catherine Crane, Lisa Crane, Catherine Dhingra and Destructo at the July 4th parade in beautiful downtown Wakefield.



Here is a video for you to get a sense of how creative people in town get with their floats.


Rhys, the barrel chested wonder. Nik won't be able to push this guy around for too much longer.


More smiles every day.


Nik and Emma modeling the double stroller that was a godsend on our trip to the Clam Festival in Yarmouth.


A slightly confused Nik on his first carousel trip. I'm guessing the non-blinking horses creeped him out.


Her excitement level is off the charts. And not in a good way.


Clam Festival. Hooray?


A trip to the children's museum for some money laundering "practice" seemed to suit Nik just fine.


"Jesus! You didn't tell me this thing vibrates!"


And we close with a kiss.

Summer

Here is Nikhil reading about his latest obsession, trains.


Emma came down to visit and enjoy some birthday cake made in honor of her turning the Big F-O-U-R.


Nik, did you get enough cake?



The partygoers worked off their sugar high and took to the street on their bikes.



"Are you tired? I wanna see if we can make Atlantic City by sundown."



Cousins


We made it up to the Gorton's to visit with Miss Hannah. Who as you can see, LOVED holding Rhys.



Rhys and Lady Violet gettin' acquainted.


Nik and I hit the Crane's pool for the 14 minutes it wasn't raining last month.



Hangin' out at Catherine's house


"Do you know anything about trains?"



The rare newborn smile


:Seriously, I want my own blog."
