A Budding Photographer
Since we got our new camera Jack has commandeered our older one and likes to walk around the house taking pictures. I think it's so cute to see what he deems important enough to capture with his camera.
First Days of School
The boys have started school at BCC Lab School. Jack is in preschool which means he goes 3 days a week for 3 hours a day and one of the days I "work" at the school. Eamon goes once a week in the toddler program which means it's kind of like a Mommy/Daddy and Me class. It's the same format as preschool, just a little less involved. They are both loving it while Matt and I are enjoying our parenting classes. Here are the pictures from their respective first days...
First day of school breakfast - french toast
So excited!
Showing off his new train backpack that his Mimi bought him.
"The sun is in my eyes, Mom!"
Standing in front of his cubby
Walking to outdoor circle-time
Waiting patiently on his "carpet square"
The whole gang for morning circle time. Parents are not required to stay. I, however, was instructed by my loving 3.5 year old son to LEAVE.
I'm hiding behind a tree.
So there.
Doing his breathing exercises
Criss-cross applesauce - for the first time!!
Finding his picture off the board for attendance
Brain stimulation
I didn't stay for the rest of the school day... I'll get some pictures of the daily routine later in the semester when its not so crazy. This is playground time, doing one of his favorite things - playing in the sand!
And now on to Little Big Man. Wearing his new-to-him backpack that Mimi bought
And his spiffy new Skidders shoes.
In the front yard.
He doesn't really know what's going on... hence the less than excited face.
Playing before circle time
Circle time with his red felt circle.
Typical stank-face
Engrossed in the rice table
Fun trail outside
In the see-saw with his BFF
He's ACTUALLY following directions!
Check out those superior gross motor skills!
Showing off his stickers.
Lest we forget, the ever important Running Up and Down the Hill
Playing in the block room with the awesome trucks
Showing off his felt board creation... my inspiration for his birthday present
Snack time for hungry toddlers
Music with Mommy's favorite song - Scarves! He loves playing with these. I also plan on getting some of these for his birthday. Open-ended imaginative toys are the way to go!
He LOVES the tire swing!!

Baby-Cakes!
Today was The Big Day. We found out the gender of Baby Raines #3. I made it into a fun game....well, I had fun at least. Enjoy!
a cupcake mustache
the inside of that cupcake looks PINK
Yup. Definitely pink. (trust me)
But wait... that doesn't look pink
Showing Mommy
That's a blue cupcake! and NO! there's not two babies
No more pictures. I need to eat my cupcake in peace.
Okay, here's the deciding cupcake: pondering the mysteries of sugar
Pink again!
Here's the explanation: after a full 45 minute ultrasound with a good 20 minutes solely dedicated to gender .... I wasn't sure. I *thought* I saw some girl parts, but then I thought I saw some boy parts at the very end. The ultrasound tech said the baby was being very uncooperative.... but she was "80% sure" that it was a girl. There just wasn't definitive photographic evidence. At one point she said the baby was being modest and Matt and I actually high-fived in the exam room. Hooray for a modest girl baby! Come to find out that 80% is a common confidence level given for girl babies.
Bring on the pink!!!!!!!! ..... purple, maybe?
