Salem Weekend: Sadie and Caleb's Birthdays

We had a great time in Salem over St.Patrick's Day weekend celebrating Sadie and Caleb's 4th and 5th birthdays with a big backyard party!  (Adam was in Philadelphia celebrating his cousin CJ's wedding so he was having his own fun)  Birthday season has begun!

Avi is 11 Months!

This kid.  He's walking, talking, climbing and doing everything except sitting still for a photo!  Can't  believe he's almost one!  First word: go, Second word: uh oh.  Climbing on the couch now, which is *fun* for everyone...  3 1/2 teeth, starting to be interested in books, likes to howl at the dog.  Taking lots of steps and trying to feed himself with a spoon.
