Some more highlights from the month of June

being mellow with Joanne...




Going a walk around the neighborhood to check out the flowers...


Trying the big-boy swings for the first time. He loved it!



A happy reunion at the airport with Dadubhai--they hadn't seen each other since Luca was 2 weeks old!

Happy half-Birthday Luca

I can't believe how quickly time has flown by, Luca is now more than six months old. To show ourselves how far he has come, we took pictures of Luca on his six month birthday (June 14) wearing the same outfit that he came home from the hospital in. Here are the pictures from when he is just 2 days old....









And here he is at six months old:

I can't believe how much he has grown and changed in what feels like such a short period of time. I wish I could push some sort of pause button so that I could really savor all of these moments---in the rush of getting things done and waiting for the next milestones, I'm feeling like I haven't done enough to commit to memory just how special every single day is. I feel so lucky to have such a beautiful baby, and Luca has really made our house into a happy home. Thank you, Luca, for the past six months. Happy half birthday from your mommy and daddy, who love you more than anything!

Luca is an Eph-Class of 2028

We're just back from our trip to Williamstown MA for mommy's 10 year college reunion. The travel was very tough, but it was worth it to see the campus, old friends, and new babies. Some fun pics...

Luca with OJ - they look like 2 serious old men!


Me, Sarah and Jill with all our babies...


Things begin to fall apart--


Shortly after this picture, chaos broke loose.


I miss everyone already!
