Quincy Market at Faneuil Hall

Like I mentioned before, there is a really fun group of girls out here!

Last Saturday most of us went into Boston to check out Faneuil Hall.
We all rode the T together and when we came up from underground... we were right in the middle of the city!Here is the whole group that was able to go. You should have seen us climbing and descending stair cases with all these strollers! We also got lots of stares of people wondering where all these babies came from! Go ask your mom...
12 girls and 7 babies! Good thing we out numbered the kids!
Chelsea, Michelle, Shawna, Staci, Nicole, Katie & baby Macie, Erin & baby Ben, Alicia & baby Cohen, Vanessa & baby Chloe, Megan, Allison, Rachel, and babies Brock, Jack, and Ella
(I forgot my camera that day so I swiped these off of a couple of the girls blogs. Thanks Staci and Michelle!)

It was a lot cooler than any of us planned (I forget that we live so close to the ocean) so we quickly went to seek shelter and food inside the long large building, Quincy Market, that runs down the center of Faneuil Hall and all the shops.
It has tons of places to eat with lots of "Boston Chowda" and fish. I found the best fries and pasta here too!

We shopped a little and watched some street performers, then soon headed home.
Here we are making our way back, waiting for the T.
Cohen did pretty well and didn't get out of his stroller until the ride home. He sat next to me on the train and said "Wow!" as we flew down the tracks. He wasn't afraid this time and enjoyed the ride!

Country Club with Radebaugh Relatives

It turns out that Scott has some relatives on his mom's side that live in Cape Cod.
We got to meet them for dinner at their country club that had the best food and an awesome view of Boston and the ocean!
Look at all the TREES! Massachusetts sure is beautiful!

I love this picture of Scott and Cohen!
Too bad I was in mid sentence when it was taken.
DANG IT!
Cohen dove out of my arms 1.5 seconds after this so we weren't able to get another one, he wouldn't have it. (Maybe I could just photoshop another, less talkative head of mine in...)

Here is Scott's cousin Kevin and his wife Rachel, with one of the Radebaugh relatives and Regan.

We had a lot of fun getting to meet them (although I was wrestling Cohen most of the time, hense me not remembering their names) and are planning on visiting them again in Cape Cod next month!

Handmade Adorable Purses!

Hey everyone! I wanted to spread the word for my friend Lynsie who makes these awesome purses! She is trying to raise money to help pay off her own medical bills by custom making handbags. They are so cute and I am going to get one as soon as I can. Help her out and order a few!!! :) The small and medium sizes are $25 and the large bags are $35.

Above and below are a few examples of what she can do and here is her website.

"BEE!"

Massachusetts has huge bumble bees everywhere! They are actually the only bug I have seen much of so far. Cohen gets so excited to go outside to the park everyday to see the "BEES!" Every time we approach the front door to leave, even if we aren't going to the park, he announces excitedly "BEE!" and looks me intently in the eyes to make sure I fully understand that there is a very real possibility that we will see them!
"BEE!"

Cohen the camera man...

For the last year or so Cohen has been obsessed with the camera and loves to look at the pictures and videos I had taken of him on it. The second he would see me pull out the camera he would run to see what I had taken even though I hadn't had a chance to take one yet! I have many pictures of him blurred or just the top of his head.
In the last couple weeks he has figured out how to take pictures and these are a couple of photos of me that he took that I was surprised to see!

Here I am in the bathroom getting ready...

Here I am on Mother's Day. Unfortunately, this was the exact moment before Cohen got frustrated with the fact that I was on the phone. He threw my camera on the wood floor while the lens was open which jammed the lens! It won't open at all now and I am soooo sad! I loved my Sony camera, it took great pictures (that looked even more awesome when I would edit them in Picasa).
Fortunately, I still have a second Kodak camera to use, but the colors and clarity of the pictures are not very good at all. I hope to get the Sony fixed when I can, but for now I will have to do my site seeing with the Kodak... BOO HOO!
Lesson learned:
DON'T let your toddler play with something you care at all about.

And the baby is a........!

We had our ultrasound this morning and all looked well with our little one! Scott and I were SO ANXIOUS to finally see what this baby is! It had its hands up by its face and was acting like it just wanted to be left alone to sleep. I loved seeing our baby! We were so excited when we finally got to the part of seeing whether its a boy or a girl and we could clearly tell that...

IT'S A BOY!!!

We are so excited and I just keep looking at Cohen wondering if this baby is going to be as blond as Cohen and how their personalities are going to be different.
Every time Scott and I would talk about this baby's gender it just never seemed to fit the thought of it being a girl, now we know why! :)
Now, I am on the hunt for a boys name that goes well with Cohen and our last name Green. Please help me name this baby!!! I need suggestions and ideas!
I feel like I have looked at every website, but obviously I need to reread them and see if there are any names we love.
I am soooo excited for this September when we get to meet this little boy!!!

(I hopefully will be posting the ultrasound pics, I just need to find somewhere to scan them in.)

They may look innocent, but...

These boys are adorable and good thing too since just before this picture I had spent two hours trying to get them to eat SOMETHING for dinner (we were watching Jack for the evening). Then after only about a minute in the bathtub, Jack pooped. I immediately grabbed Cohen before it floated his direction and he ran off through the house naked while I took care of Jack. Once Jack was dressed I wrestled Cohen down and finally got him dressed. He then took off for the front room and slipped and fell on the wood floors. I went to see what he slipped on and stepped right into a huge lake of pee which I had no clue was there because he had done it while he was running around naked (and must have been saving up, might I add) and I was busy with Jack. I tip toed through the house to find wipes and disinfectant to try and get to the mess before Jack found his way into it too.
Right after that picture, Cohen swapped sippys with Jack to share germs.
Oh, what fun it will be to have two boys! What a rude awakening... :)
