We celebrated Papa Seals' birthday. It was low-key, just like he likes it.
There was cake. A very fancy one from Nick Malgieri's
Perfect Cakes book.
We took a road trip to a Whole Foods in Glastonbury, CT, because there isn't one more local to us.

If we didn't have to use so much gas to get there, I would say it was rather green of us; but, no.

The first week of February saw me returning to work after my 2 month vacation maternity leave. I could have taken longer but we were already paying for daycare and I needed the structure that work provides...also, I missed the books.
There were a few snow storms in our neck of the woods. We watched the cars get covered with snow quite a bit.
We also went outside to play in it; or, at least, think about playing in it.

The littlest Seal Pup packed on the pounds and has quickly learned that he would be more successful in coaxing the 'rents with smiles and cooing rather than cries and screeching.
So, I suppose I will be doing more regular updates since starting this weekend, we will be doing some wandering...in style...but more on that later. Now, just focus on cuteness.

For the sake of more cuteness, I uploaded a ton of photographs in
flickr, since the grandparents have been asking about them--oh, and for you too Angie.
