Summer in Westport Mass.

Here are all the Beans down in Westport, Mass. to celebrate Ricky's 7oth Birthday!

What a fun day.

João really enjoyed the bucket-carrying portion of the treasure hunt.

Bean Dance Off

Papa's Funny Hat

Papa's big entrance in his funny "Master" hat.

Relative calm.

Squirmfest begins with G.G.

Joao works the crowd.

Attempting to get the classic family grad shot.

No luck.

Joao is 1!

Birthday fun and my first cupcake!

Yummy strawberry!

The center of attention

Long walk

Peas

Day at the Zoo

Now I've been left to be raised by elephants?
I can't keep track.
Where did those suckers go?

Oh wait. There's Ezra. In camouflage.

Will Mama ever be able to get a good picture?
Not if we can help it!!!

Mama's thighs are still sore from the dismount.

Conference of Cousins

Here I am plotting with Oscar and Ruby.

We have so much fun.

I wish they were here all the time!
(Oscar get your hand off my friggin' grapes)

Super Ezra

International man of mystery, Super Ezra.

Mr. Sitting Up Guy

Mama is trying desperately to remember what toys suit my hot new skills, like sitting.

Ezra's new skills are hiding from the camera and playing with Papa's Itouch in the background.

Anything worth playing with is worth trying to eat!

Chatty

Brotherly Love

Sunday Walk to Seal Point

JOAO!

I'm rocking Ezra's World!

hahahahahahhahahahhaha.......

Sharing the Ardvark Love

Thank you Wolffs for the awesome ardvark and Ezra's lobster!

Mama used the wrong camera, so this is a two-parter.

It helps build up the suspense?

Mr. Helper

Helping G.G. run one of her "important" meetings.

The Man

I am secure in my masculinity.

I am secure in my masculinity.

I am secure in my masculinity.

Where's that Scooby Doo pinata?

I am secure in my masculinity.

Bus Man!

G.G and Jim took me on my first bus ride!
It was AWESOME!

It was actually a "trolley" and I loved the bumps
and pulling the string for the bell.
We went all the way to Federal Hill.

Heaven=Pastiche
Time to re-fuel!

G.G. ate the chocolate part, I focused on the whipped cream part.

Playground time

My hood has a bunch of awesome playgrounds and we have been investigating them.

Here I am carefully toting the picnic that Mama

desperately packed when she realized we were running out of time for lunch.

A true style statement with my froggy boots.

Here is a display of my agility on the one-boy see saw.

Pinata: I'd Hit That!

G.G. took me to my friend Jasper's awesome Birthday Party
where I got to whack my first pinata!
I loved it.

Boy with Big Stick vs. Paper Fish

Me & Jasper enjoying the sweet sweet shower of
lollipops reward for this sanctioned whacking.

Retreat for some meditative time.
