Ohh Em Gee

how i've missed you all.
we have been so busy around here... we've been meeting new friends, introducing naia to old friends and family, and figuring out what to do with ourselves (sortof).
Here are some of the highlights:
[disclaimer: this isn't even the half of it. its in no way an exhaustive "list" of first meetings... ive been doing this crazy thing lately: enjoying the moment. i'm sure once the dust clears, i'll get back to taking pictures of EVERY thing ALL the time]


GREAT Grandma Jane!! what a lucky girl our Naia is!


cousin Austin!
you may notice this little lady in several of these pictures. she's naia's cousin and best friend austin and she's awesome. she also has ridculously cute teeth. if you'd like a well documented and photographed and more eloquently written report of naia's first meeting with austin (we call her "a train") you can refer to my sister erica's blog at www.littlearch.blogspot.com




mr bojangles (sister erica's dog. bo, or bo boy, for short)


Aunt Celia!!


Naia and Aunt Erica!


Brooks and his neice!


Then there was Landis...


...Henry...


...and cathy. And i figured out why they call cathy "the baby whisperer"


look at her eating!!


walking with Bri (we're calling her aunt bri)


and kritstina (...can everyone be her aunt?)


kefryn =)


uncle dan =) naia is wearing dan's celtics shirt from when he was a little fan!



Naia is the only one in the family who's figured out that she needs to pace herself. after all, partying takes a lot out of you. this is a nap after a walk with her Nana.


in short, the sign says it all =) ...is you're having trouble reading that, it says "massachusetts welcomes you"...yes, a cheese ball i am.
