Silliness

Here are a few pictures from the last few days.  Little Mr. Farwell enjoyed visiting with his Great Aunt Ruth over the weekend, has started making dinosaur/dragon sounds in his fun green dragon towel and couldn't get enough of his Grandad's hat.

Playing "in" the sprinkler

Little Mr. Farwell's approach to playing "in" the sprinkler is a little unconventional.  He's a proud--and very happy--non-conformist.

Turtle, Truck, Tickle

What do these things have in common?

They are three of Little Mr. Farwell's new favorite words.  He has turtles on his sandals, he loves spotting trucks, and he delights in tickling anyone in reach (including himself).

Here are a handful of pictures that his dad has taken over the last few weeks

Mid-Summer Update

Little Mr. Farwell enjoyed the South Carolina shore last week with his Nana, Grandad, Uncle Chris and mom.  The quaint, self-declared "arrogantly shabby" town of Pawleys Island delighted the little guy--particularly all of the dogs he met on the beach, the sailboats he saw, the sand he dug his chubby little fingers into, the foot-washing faucet he could turn on himself, and, of course, all of the laughs and hugs with family.  We finished up a great vacation week by playing with friends, visiting Drumlin Farm and Elm Bank Park, and spending lots of time laughing with Dad.

Moving Nana's chair up and down was, officially, hilarious.

He would have spent all day, everyday playing with the faucet.

Spaghetti night out--these guys love their pasta!

Hug-fest at Drumlin Farm.  In between hugs, Little Mr. Farwell and his friends pet a chicken, took a hayride, moo'ed at cows, and had a fun picnic.

Hello summer!

Little Mr. Farwell loves being OUTSIDE (which is clear when he yells 'ou-ide' whenever we bring him inside).  Here are some pictures from his adventures OUTSIDE at Richardson's Farm, the beach in Gloucester, the playground in Weston and our yard  (and a couple inside--to share the joy of climbing up on chairs with you).

Spring 2012

Now that Little Mr. Farwell is on the run, we spend most of our time running after him (with very little lazing about and updating blogs...) Here are some pictures from the last couple of months, including the little guy's first Easter egg hunt, his first car, a visit from Grandma Nena, Uncle Greg, Nana and Grandad, and his baptism (and backyard romp with all of the BC Law babies). He loves being outside, being tickled, and being on the move. We are so outrageously blessed.
