Simon finally exists in photos!

He really is the happiest little guy ever - although, maybe little isn't exactly an accurate adjective to use when describing a 22 pound 5 month old!

Happy Birthday Titi

Santa Party at Mama's Office

Snow, Simon (21.5 pounds at 4.5 months old) and Kacie's Birthday Song!

We love you cousin Kacie! Can't wait to see you in a month!

Class Picture version 2

Living here sure doesn't suck!

Halloween at Applecrest Farms

A day at the pumpkin patch/apple farm with Grandma Mary. Grace fed llamas, ducks, sheep and Henry ate hay.

Finally a few birthday pictures

The house was complete chaos. It was raining (of course), but the kids all had fun. Miss Nancy played her guitar and everyone joined in with tambourines and maracas.

Touch at Truck!!!

We took the kids to "Touch a Truck" in Marblehead. Let's hope this is the only time we see Grace and Henry in a police car! Yikes!

Grace's New Room!

Grace moved into the smaller of the upstairs bedrooms in anticipation of the boys sharing the larger one sometime in the near future. For now, Simon is in our room still. So......we thought we would decorate it and make it a truly "Grace" room. You can't help but feel happy in it. Here are a few pictures, except for some unfinished artistic additions to the walls, like butterflies, rainbows, etc. by Papa.

Simon Smiles a Ton Now!

Simon can be serious too!









Henry LOVES Uncle Neal!



















Grace painted her ENTIRE body like this, but I am only showing her face! :)

A few pictures from June that our friends shared with us.

In the last picture, do I look like Uncle Neal or what?

The first 3 weeks with Simon in the family!

Simon Anthony Ramos is finally here!

July 28, 2009

So happy he is here!

8 pounds 9 ounces
22 inches long




















Proud and tired Papa!

He's darker than his sister and brother!

Grace is in love!

Pretty in Pink!

Mama and Henry (not in pink)

















Grandma, Mama and Grace.

Extremely Belated THANK YOU to Cousin Sharyn!

A picture of Grace in her most favorite new outfit. Cousin Sharyn sent both Grace and Henry some extremely cute clothes (I want her for my personal shopper), and Grace subsequently saw matching pants at the Gap so we HAD to buy them as another option to wear with the cute shirt. How can she be such a clothes fiend before hitting age 4?

It's Grandma Mary's Birthday!!!

A birthday song from the Ramos family!




Grace doing a solo!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!!

From Ramos #3 & Otto too!

Thinking about you Grandpa!

Feel Better Grandpa!!!

We love you and wish we could be there with you to keep you company and drive you crazy! Feel better soon.

Grace and Henry - May 2009

It's been a while since we posted, but the weather is much nicer and we are getting tons of outside play time! Hooray! Both kids are growing as fast as the weeds - their pants are all quickly becoming high-waters. Grace likes to show off the "baby" in her belly too - just like mama.
