Picture Update

Here are some pictures of our Adventures. Not every adventure, but some of the highlights... and I am so bummed that we didn't get a picture with Nate and Ashley in NYC-- sorry, we'll all just have to remember that night forever:)

Archie kissing himself in a mirror at David's Bridal; we went with some ward members in New Bedford, it was fun to Stephanie get dressed up in wedding gowns, and Archie loved the floor to ceiling mirrors!
On our excursion to Boston with our friend Vickie we ran into Harvard's Marching Band-- music good, marching lines, not good.
I thought this was so cool... Harvard's Courtyard, and hundreds of colorful chairs just placed in the grass-loved it.
Aunt Barb, Archie and cousin Jeff- it was sooo great to see them, and I am glad that Ben and
Archie got to meet them. We love you!
Some Cape Verdean friends from New Bedford. We'll miss them.
Archie and I by the resting horses in Williamsburg, Arch wasn't too interested in the over sized dogs.
Uncle Nick and Aunt Barb- we struggled to get a good picture by the sheep, which you can't see really at all.
In Fredericksberg, VA with the Dudenheffers, here with Matthew and a grumpus Archie.
In Reading, PA visiting Aunt Dow and Uncle Rick- it was sooo wonderful to see them, it had been about 7 years since the last time we saw each other!
Family photo, looking across the river to Boston.
Vickie, Archie and Kate standing in front of John Harvard. We felt smarter just posing there...
At dinner with Milena, a wonderful woman- we love her.
Anniversary Picture! This was our celebration, pizza and peas for Archie- I love Ben, I love Archie and it was a great Anniversary.
Archie's "high" chair. We didn't have a chair in our make shift apartment in New Bedford to attach Archie's chair to, so he just sat on the floor like the rest of us.
Out side the Anniversary pizza place.
A delicious breakfast from one of the many bakery's within walking distance to our apartment, Portuguese pastries and orange juice.... better than it looks, much.
The tub in our 'apartment'-- Archie loved it more than his parents did.
Excited about his rake.
Happy.
Ben's 'desk'. We all make do with what we have.
