Milan Trip

The camera just doesn't click as often when Cara isn't around. I had a business trip to Milan, Italy last week. The week went well and the food was really spectacular. I spent the first day tracking down a replacement battery, since I accidentally left mine in the charger... which means I only got one late night tour around the city for some night shots. This is probably the best shot. It is of the Duomo in the city center. Apparently the facade is under renovation, so here is the best angle I could get.

The Big Trip

Cara, Brigid, and I headed out to St. Louis this weekend. It was Cara's
first plane ride, Cara's first trip outside of New England, and first big
trip. We flew out Thursday evening and got back Sunday evening, so it was
a whirlwind tour. There was a lot going on, so I didn't get any "first
plane ride" pictures but she did great. We probably could time it better
for her, since we ended up getting in after her bedtime, but she didn't
complain!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


Little Brigid and Cara


Lilly is one cool cat


Push please!


Couple of guys hangin' out


Cara had so much fun with her cousins


So shy!

Honk Honk

Heavy on the horn. Honk honk honk. When her mom asked her why she was honking so much and where she learned how to do it Cara screamed "I learned it by watching you, alright?"

Out of the way

Cara's Crew Two

Brigid saw this post and asked, "don't you have any where Cara is acting normal?" The answer is no... or that normal baby is different than normal adult. I was tempted to post a series of these wacky ones with Cara eating Ben's hair, or patting his head, or leaning over to get at Jimmy but that may be overkill. Let's just leave it at the fact that this is the best of them.

Ben is always so smiley... it bores Zach.
