Caroline is 7 weeks now.
She continues to be a fantastic baby. Good spirits, cuddley and these days smiling and even offering a giggle or two.

Today we had Jack's flag football and in a freak turn of events it was in the 80s. He did well. Though he continues to be hestitant to catch the ball (following a ball to the face/bloody nose last week) he ran for a touchdown and tackled a kid. He;s showing some interest but I think he just likes being on a team and running around.

Brennan is dying to be old enough for sports. He sits on the sideline with the team and follows the game more closely than his big brother.

Yesterday I took the kids to Ga and Ma's for the day to play with Freddie. Because of the flukey weather, they were even able to swim. Of course Dad had the pool warm and ready to go. So much so that when Brennan stepped in he said:
"What in the world? Is this a hot tub?!"

Later in the day, Jack pulled me aside and speaking out the side of his mouth said ... "Mom! Why do they have pictures of naked women?! It's very inappropriate!" Of course I just laughed. I mean, how do you talk modern art with a 6 year old? I'll leave that one to Ma.

5 more weeks to go on my leave. We've hired a nanny who we're excited about. Cross fingers it works out.
