"Camping" on the 4th

Sorry pics are out of order

Six months old! (but still in 3 mo onesie)

At the Kensico dam fireworks, pre-monsoon

What a patriotic family. Obviously Lynne is the most patriotic of all, it takes commitment to grow a flagpole out of your head.

Driving to CT. How long have we been in the car? 

Where entering a new phase, where there will be many photos of Kit holding Addy up in the air in front of things.

This picture needed to be big.

Dad, why are we still here?

Overlooking the Thames

General Dymanics is across the river, that's where they build nuclear subs for the Navy.

Sometimes life throws wind at you and you just close your eyes and take it.

New jumper

Kit calls this the "Lynne" look

You be the judge: Lynne as a baby

Paul and Lynne

Gabe and Lynne

Nice sweater vest Lynne

Loved shoes from the get-go

Baby Kit--now I recognize those cheeks!

happy look prior to melting down after about five minutes in this thing

Mom, this is what you meant when you gave me this book and said put it to good use, right?

Descending into the USS Nautilus--the first nuclear sub to reach the North Pole

The crew was trained to work in total darkness in case the power went out, but could they do their jobs with a baby strapped to their front?

Lynne:  Man, it would be really be claustrophobic to live in a submarine.

Addy:  Tell me about it.

Happy not to be stuck on a submarine for weeks at a time

Future sailor 

You're doing it wrong

No, it's not Lynne's first time feeding Addy a bottle.  Just turns out that's Addy's favorite way to eat.

Living it up at the classy "Steak Loft" establishment in Mystic, CT.

Testing Lynne's diapering skill 

Now this is camping.

Devil's Hopyard State Park

PEZ candy, yeah!

So much fun--all tuckered.
