WARNING! Do not get on a plane with this child!!

Here's my weekly bit of parenting advice for the masses: Just don't even try to fly with your child between the ages of 5 months and 3 years. This sweet child of mine screamed and cried for 2 out of the 2 1/2 hour flight from Boston to Minneapolis. Maybe its just a jinx because I am always bragging about what a perfect baby he is? All I'm saying is if you want to see baby Jake before he turns 3, you'd better get yourself a plane ticket to Minneapolis, because we're not getting on an airplane anytime soon. I'm not even sure Northwest would let this kid on one of their planes after yesterday's trip.

Potatoes pulled my pants down!

I'm not sure who the antagonist was in this series of photos but there was A LOT of horsing around between Avery and his cousin Mateo this past weekend. Mostly it was all fun, but some bouts ended in wining cries by Avery, ("Potatoes pulled my pants down!" or "Potatoes sprayed me with the hose!") and one in a fat lip. By the way this wrestling match took place during Mariela's baptism party.

A visit to the farm

Here are some pics from our visit to Uncle Pepper's house in Massachusetts last weekend. Much fun was had by all of the little munchkins, especially when it came to the chickens!
