I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

Tradition

We don’t have many of our own family traditions yet, unless you count our occasional Saturday-morning breakfast out.  We are not opposed to IHOP or Denny’s (and enjoy the people watching at both), but our favorite place to get breakfast is Newcomb Farms in Quincy.  Everything is fresh and delicious.  The restaurant (and associated farm) is family owned, and the the waitresses are nice to our kids.  We like that.  We decided to celebrate the end of Tim’s sub-internship in medicine (and it’s accompanying 16-hour days, 6 days a week) by splurging on breakfast.

Squiggles and Daddy having “tea” (she’s  into tea parties right now).

Squiggles spends a lot of time squat-walking (she doesn’t like crawling because her hands get dirty) under the tables so she can alternate by which parent she sits.  I am sporting a very natural look below (read:  I didn’t so-much comb my hair this morning, apparently).

Lily had the time of her life.

Since we were in the neighborhood this morning, we took a walk along a couple miles of Wollaston Beach.

(Don’t worry, I didn’t actually make Tim push both strollers.)

Yea, a picture of you! (You look great Laura, seriously. What I wouldn't give for a picture where I didn't have hairs flying all over the place...and I don't have the baby excuse!).

I love Squiggle's little 'bob' hair-do - it's adorable and makes her look SO 'toddler'. Can you please tell her to stop growing up so fast? ;)

I fully support pancake Saturdays, but why stop with Saturday? How about Pancake Weekends?

Great tradition! Every time Tim is halfway through rotations, it's pancake time! I tried squat-walking and am not good at it!
