Martha's Vineyard

In an effort to extract every last bit of fun from our quickly ending two years here in Boston, Taryn and I joined several friends for a weekend on Martha's Vineyard. With 6 couples, 8 children and 6 strollers every day proved to be a unique adventure! (You should have seen the scene we created on the island buses.) Many thanks to Kristy and Joel for "not planning" this stupendous trip.

Half of the crew arriving on the ferry: Harpers, Williams, Butters.

Although it may not look like it, Everett's amazing herniated belly button is beginning to shrink.
We are sad to see it go. What a magnificent outie!

Check out this smile. Everett is all smiles and laughs now and he is such a joy to have in our family. We love you Everett.

Adoption

Partners Club: One last hurrah!

This year Taryn and some of her closest friends dedicated themselves to administrating and enjoying the Harvard Business School's Partners' Club: a campus club dedicated to those that love and support students.

I'll never forget the day last year when Taryn came home from work and said, "I think I'm going to run for president of the partners club." My immediate response was, "Why on earth would you want to do that?"

Well, she and the other directing members passed on the baton and enjoyed one last, amazing party. They utilized the same venue as last year (top of the Prudential tower), and it couldn't have been more beautiful.

Congratulations partners; it's been an amazing year! Thanks again for your endless love and support!

Although he looked nervous to begin with, Everett quickly warms up to older women. Watch out Adam.

Mother and Son

We have had a really hard time deciding who Everett looks like. I have always thought he looks a lot like Ryan, but check out this picture of me when I was a baby. I think it looks exactly like Everett. You be the judge.

Having Fun

Visit From Grandpa Sherm and Grandma Judith

Taryn and I can't express enough the gratitude and love we feel for our marvelous family and all the love and support they give us. This past weekend Grandma and Grandpa Butters came into town to see little Everett. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them and sincerely appreciate all the service they rendered. We love you Mom and Dad!

One Month

My little boy is now one month old and I can't believe it! In fact, my best friend Heather just had a baby and compared to her little girl, 7 lbs 3 oz, Everett feels like a giant.

Everyone said time goes fast, but I still can't believe it. This past month has been the best month of my life. Everett brings so much joy to our family. He has the most pleasant temperament and is just as sweet as can be.

He can now hold his head up for 10 -15 seconds and is getting stronger each day. He loves to eat, stretch, sleep, hang out with his dad, and take baths. He loves when his parents sing to him and he loves taking rides in the car. His favorite toy is the swing or maybe this is moms favorite toy?

Thanks for coming to our family. We love you Everett!

Bath Time

We gave Everett his first bath when he was 8 days old and we quickly realized that this little man LOVES the water. As soon as we put him in the water he stretches his arms above his head and smiles a smile that would melt anyone's heart. I hope you enjoy the pictures of our little angel.

Thank you Aunt Michelle for this warm, cute, duck towel

Let's just say he doesn't like coming out of the tub as much as he likes getting in

Mommy loves that precious face!
