cash cookin'

violet's debut!

2009-09-07T06:55:00.007-06:00

slack attack on the blog! but here's a quick game of catch up- we still love you vi, we're just a little pressed for time these days. i did my best to keep them in order and am going to "try" and keep up more often!

family of 3 going on 4

2009-05-18T10:23:00.005-06:00

so today is cash's last day as an only child. it sounds so dramatic- but i am overcome with emotion at the thought of it. we are so looking forward to meeting our little girl, but we are also going to miss "the three of us". cash spent the morning helping get the last few things in order before his sister enters the world tomorrow. then he started to practice what it will be like taking care of "his baby" with his curious george doll. maybe this only warms a mother's heart- but i weep at the sight and can't wait to see him with his little sister. and then of course- he wanted to still be the baby...uh oh.

a boy and his dog...

2009-04-16T18:12:00.001-06:00

long time no blog

2009-04-16T18:08:00.003-06:00

facebook has taken over the blog-- but i am going to try and keep up so that we have some sort of "baby book" for these kids.

here is cash with pink eye... poor kid and then poor dad, b/c he got it!

then some great shots of cashy chillin' on the charles river with a snack bag...

holy snow!

2009-01-22T16:41:00.002-07:00

according to the news we are on track to set records in snow fall this winter. apparently we are in a tight race with the winter of '94/'95, which i remember well because it was my first winter living in NH. i remember trekking through snow in my halloween costume thinking "why did i move here?"... let's hope that mother nature lets up a bit, it's pretty sad when you're looking forward to tomorrow because it's going to be a high of 40! down right balmy folks!!

random christmas photos

2008-12-30T06:41:00.006-07:00

cash so proud next to his new tool bench! thanks auntie christine and uncle brian- i play with it everyday!!

present madness with all the cousins!

some mickey d's french fry treats on the way to new jersey!

cash's first christmas stash- when he woke up and saw his gifts he said "whoa!"

winter

2008-12-28T07:01:00.005-07:00

we got hit pretty hard by the 3 day snow storm- believe it or not, it's all gone now! our back yard is a giant puddle. yuck.

with the snow came the freezing cold- cash had no problem drifting off in all his winter gear.

he made reindeer antlers at school one day and wore them around the house everyday until...

our new puppy sadie tore them to shreds.

first hot cocoa!

2008-12-07T18:37:00.004-07:00

we had a snowy day here in new england. cash and i came in from playing (in the eight of an inch- this kid has no idea what he's in for) and i made him his first cup of hot cocoa. did he like it? the pictures speak for themselves i think!

fast asleep

2008-11-17T10:02:00.004-07:00

cash and kells fell fast asleep on the couch last night at a whopping 6:30! what you can't see is the peanut butter and jelly sandwich that is in cash's hand still- i had to wipe the crumbs off his mouth when i put him into bed. these two look nothing alike huh?

ok- we're back!

2008-11-09T17:20:00.006-07:00

sorry for the delay- but who knew that finding something to replace a lost camera cord would be so hard. nonetheless- we finally have it fixed up and here is a quick montage or summer into fall.

cash is getting so big-

sorry

2008-09-21T15:11:00.003-06:00

we are a little behind- can't find the cord for the camera to connect it to the computer... but we're trying! cash wants his hair to grow long too- so we're letting him.

videos!

2008-08-05T09:56:00.003-06:00

marissa took cashy to the zoo- because everytime i try to take him i end up crying and leaving. so yesterday he got to see his favorite animal, monkey! and he told him hello... a few times:

then she got this great video of him huffin' and puffin' his pinwheel down- i really laugh to death every time i watch this:

keepin' it real jersey style!

2008-07-18T07:37:00.004-06:00

this past weekend we drove to the jersey shore and met up with the jersey schunke clan on long beach island. i hadn't been down in over 20 years! here are some pics from our visit to fantasy island amusement park- they really don't capture how much fun these kids were having on the rides!

thanks again schunkes! we had a blast!

happy birthday papaw!

2008-07-05T18:00:00.003-06:00

i love you!

cashy boy!

2008-07-05T09:04:00.004-06:00

some pics of what kelly calls the "schunke in cash"- him eating a loaf of ciabatta and some pepperoni while sitting on the kitchen counter waiting for his pizza to finish cooking. not like i have ever done anything like that before.

then he loves his ice pops and always exploring the backyard!

here we are!

2008-06-12T16:26:00.011-06:00

so here is a boat load of pictures to make up for the fact that i haven't posted in quite a while. so here's what's been happening around here: we finally moved! yeah!! and i have included some pictures of our backyard that we have been working on. if you look closely you can see me standing at the back door... hi! there are a few shots of cashy exploring and a few shots at his new favorite playground!! thanks to our new neighbors cath and vake we got the low down on the all the hot spots for toddlers... this is definitly one of them. he has a blast looking at the ducks and hanging around the playground representing his team.

there will be more pics to follow... a lot of people have been asking for shots of the house- but we have to finish painting and unpacking boxes before you can see the inside;)

happy birthday auntie jessie!

2008-05-24T06:32:00.004-06:00

happy brithday auntie jessie- welcome to the wrong side of 29!

we love you!! xoxoxoxo

few pics

2008-05-23T16:58:00.000-06:00

hey auntie stacey...

2008-05-22T09:48:00.001-06:00

when are you coming to visit me again and see my new house? i miss you!!

driver!

2008-05-15T09:38:00.003-06:00

i took cash on a field trip to the children's museum the other day and he would not leave the "construction zone" he had so much fun driving the machines!

one more...

2008-05-13T15:56:00.001-06:00

faux hawk

2008-05-13T10:14:00.003-06:00

cash's new summer do!

finally...

2008-05-07T15:10:00.001-06:00

we bought our first house and move in 2 weeks from today!

just eating a cupcake.

2008-05-07T06:58:00.003-06:00

sayin' hi!

2008-05-01T16:17:00.000-06:00

first day on the clay...

2008-04-18T06:49:00.007-06:00

it was the first time cash stepped onto a baseball field, and he was wearing the cap of the team that runs in his blood. as long as i am from new jersey- and am still the one that dresses him- this boy will be a yanks fan. what do i do when he's 10 and tells me he wants to put a sox cap on his lid??... that's when i put him on the phone with his uncle brian.

cashy and marissa!

2008-04-16T18:14:00.003-06:00

don't hold the red sox hat against her... she's cash's best pal!

he put it on his own head- no lie.

2008-04-14T17:46:00.002-06:00

cash or kells?

2008-03-28T18:24:00.002-06:00

getting so big!

2008-03-25T18:04:00.003-06:00

easter!

2008-03-25T18:03:00.000-06:00

happy st. patrick's day!

2008-03-17T13:47:00.001-06:00

my first professional haircut!

2008-03-06T16:10:00.005-07:00

cash did a great job today getting his first "big boy" hair cut. my attempts at chasing him around with a safety scissor weren't cutting it anymore! such a handsome fella...

is spring springing?

2008-03-06T06:09:00.000-07:00

i got one up!

2008-02-24T04:54:00.002-07:00

lil' ol' new england snow storm this past weekend... and cashy didn't want to come inside!

ugh-

2008-02-20T16:25:00.001-07:00

anyone who knows about posting to blogger, knows that when you upload images this little ticker thingy goes round and round and then the picture pops up. so, when i go to post pictures, the little ticker thingy goes round half way and stops and the picture never pops up. i try it periodically and get nothing. so that is why this blog is lacking in new photos. if anyone has any suggestions, please pass them on. btw, this all started when we bought our mac?!

random pics- this blog is so temperamental

2008-01-27T05:56:00.000-07:00

cash loves spending time with his uncle leo.

wishing he still fit in his bouncy chair.

cash's first art project.

play time... tub time

2008-01-13T17:50:00.000-07:00

christmas!

2008-01-02T16:32:00.000-07:00

first cashy drove us to new jersey! it took us 7 hours to get there... not because of holiday traffic, but because cash drives so slow!

then we got to open a few presents on christmas eve!

and more on christmas morning- check out jake checking out the loot!

and more presents...

and more trucks!

and then a christmas bagel with extra cream cheese... hey, we were in jersey!

we're back!

2007-12-27T16:49:00.001-07:00

finally! i got this thing to work again.

here are some past photos- from our many snow storms and cash trying to brush his own teeth.

christmas photos to follow shortly...

we're working on it...

2007-12-15T08:27:00.000-07:00

for some reason we are unable to load images. please stand by as we try and deal with our technical difficulties.

marissa!

2007-11-27T17:22:00.000-07:00

everyone always asks "who watches cash when you and kelly are at work?" and we nonchalantly say "marissa!" thinking everyone in our world knows who she is because she practically lives here! so we decided that she needed a post in the blog, to put a face to the name we mutter so often! cash just adores her... and so do we.

too cold?

2007-11-24T16:10:00.000-07:00

even though it was 30 degrees here today- we had to get out for at least a little while... and cash didn't seem to mind the 4 layers of shirts i put on him! he was having a great time playing in the leaves and on the see saw with mom and dad.

baby it's cold outside...

2007-11-16T17:12:00.000-07:00

it's getting cold here in new england. i'm starting to wonder what i am going to do when it's too cold to go outside... this day we were the only ones at the playground- i fear my tolerance for cold weather might not be cash's. however, he was having a great time and was thrilled that he got the whole place to himself. i signed cash up for a gym class too- he slept through his first class today- we might have to reschedule around his precious mid-morning nap!

and one last halloween pic which i think is hilarious... and this was on the way to trick or treating!

a

some random pics i never posted...

2007-11-09T07:35:00.000-07:00

ok, so maybel has finally given in to having cash around. i think she now knows that he's not going anywhere anytime soon. he likes to hug her, as seen here.

here is a picture from halloween that i never got around to getting up- but i love. cash loves to play with headbands.

one rainy day kelly and i took cash to the children's museum and they have this little water bed he loves to play on. too bad it's in the "crawlers only section" b/c now he's captain walks a lot.

this is cash with his second fiance maggie. a few weeks back my two girlfriends and i braved a apple/pumpkin farm with the kids- and let's just say we weren't the only one who had that idea. but here are cash and mags listening to a man in overalls play his guitar. i felt like i was back in plymouth.

and this is a shot of cash's new favorite activity- eating yogurt by himself. more usually ends up on the highchair and bib, but hey, it's keeps him occupied for a good half and hour!!!

look who's walking!

2007-11-08T05:23:00.001-07:00

cash took his first major indpendent steps yesterday- we are so very proud!

happy halloween!!

2007-10-31T19:04:00.000-06:00

more pics to follow... please stand by!

fixin' his car

2007-10-25T17:26:00.001-06:00

had some car work that needed to be done tonight after we took our nightly 'before dinner spin' around the neighborhood...

then cashy was covered in grease (and by grease i mean meatballs from dinner) so he hit the showers.

bigger everyday!

2007-10-22T18:02:00.001-06:00

always wants to drive the playground!

going down the slide for the first time by himself! action shot!

caught! in his basket o' toys...

happy birthday cashy!!

2007-10-12T11:49:00.000-06:00

the boat ride to long island to see our cousins and celebrate cash's first birthday!

cash and kelly havin a snack when we got there.

captain grumpy pants

birthday cupcake

where have you been hiding this chocolate stuff my whole life?

is it a celebration for cash turning 1 or a celebration for mom and dad making it through the first year??

this kid loves the playground...

2007-10-03T19:17:00.000-06:00

a few pics...

2007-09-29T06:19:00.000-06:00

a date with maggie and elmo

2007-09-17T05:55:00.001-06:00

my friend becky and i took the kiddies to the children's museum this weekend. becky forgot her camera and my juice ran out- but luckily i got some post museum shots of the two love birds in their strollers sharing a snack. i'm pretty sure becky got some shots of dinner afterward at the barking crab... you can check her blog, the link is on the right side, she's little miss maggie terry.

while in the supermarket i was desperate for something to occupy cash so i grabbed this elmo ballon and he went crazy! he kept boppin' me in the head with it, but he was having a great time!

almost walking...

2007-09-13T07:50:00.000-06:00

so happy and proud!

now what?

i'm staying on top of this blog!

2007-08-28T05:50:00.001-06:00

cash in his new fall cap!

trying to rescue his second favorite monkey from inside the stool... he eventually figured it out.

a farewell pic with auntie stacey...

a few pics from the week... more to follow

2007-08-26T17:29:00.000-06:00

auntie stacey came to visit and took cash to the playground... that was only one day! she watched him 2 nights so kells and i could get out on the town too! we miss you already stacey and cash hasn't been himself since you've been gone. thanks again!

while stacey was here kelly had his 3_ birthday... we went up to rockport to one of our favorite little restaurants... after we stuffed ourselves with ice cream while sitting in the little park- check out cash's hand-me-downs from his cousin jake... sweet pants!

i also took cash to target for some new toy shopping. he's so sick of his "baby" toys so i bought him a big boy dump truck. he was so excited that he kept trying to get at it sitting in the seat of the cart- so i let him ride in the buggie with his truck!

then when we got home he played with his truck all afternoon... loading it with blocks, stuffed animals, remote controls, anything he can get his hands on.

baby butt-

2007-08-21T20:35:00.000-06:00

feelings of inadequacy...

2007-08-21T20:18:00.000-06:00

i've been reading too many mom blogs lately. especially blogs of women who live in country towns, who bake bread, can fresh jellies, sew halloween costumes and do arts and crafts projects with their kids everyday. it leaves me feeling a little bit inadequate as a mother... not making "home cooked meals" everyday for my son and certainly not canning jellies. so in order to make myself feel better i made cash some whole wheat vegetable muffins and felt really proud of myself because he really loved them!

he LOVES these things!!

now that's one happy camper!

we're back!

2007-08-16T18:52:00.000-06:00

so i know there is always the excuse "we've been busy"... but try this one on for size: cash threw up for five days. needless to say the past week and a half has been a blurr- regurgitated milk and graham crackers, sleepless nights, countless diapers with "i don't know what that is!" in them, restaurant hours and we squeezed in a two night trip to cape cahd for kells and i. thanks a million to grandma and ron for their marathon visit to boston and their help in cleaning up the regurgiated milk and the sleepless nights! you guys should come more often ;) next week we get auntie stacey from tennessee... and she thinks she's going on vacation! time to clock in auntie!

Korina Aden Mulligan!

2007-08-08T16:47:00.000-06:00

michelle and pat welcomed their daughter korina on aug 8! congrats to the new little family! you've sure come a long way from the halls of west milly high!

hello!

2007-07-29T18:35:00.001-06:00

random pics! we've been busy!

2007-07-23T17:45:00.001-06:00

dad time!

2007-07-11T07:24:00.001-06:00

2007-07-10T16:25:00.001-06:00

beep! beep!

chip in!

2007-06-30T09:25:00.001-06:00

the boat club!

2007-06-25T17:24:00.000-06:00

molly and kendall invited us to the boat club today and we had the greatest time! we had to take many pictures of cash and molly in their matching sun hats so that we could put them in the video collage at their rehearsal dinner (sorry maggie, but you gotta fight for your man!). thank you sundstrom's for a great afternoon!

i'm a slacker

2007-06-24T17:11:00.000-06:00

sorry it's been so long since new pics (stacey!) but we have been... well, you know the story. enjoy!

baby jail and bababa

2007-06-09T12:29:00.000-06:00

we went and bought cash a play pen (aka baby jail) after he ate some carpet padding and projetile vomited all over his babysitter. now, he has no where to go! the first time we put him in it, kelly and i sat and watched him smoosh his face on the side and scream at us... the good parents that we are- we grabbed the camera to document his torture! and a little video to show you the little trick kelly taught cash that i can't get enough of.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=3O2nGl4ruqE

new teeth and learning to crawl

2007-05-27T16:37:00.001-06:00

cash finally cooperated and let me snap a shot of his pearly whites. his first two teeth came in at the same time about 2 weeks ago. now we know why he was up every night for a week straight! let's hope the next round come in one at a time.

he also is getting pretty close to crawling... he manages to get on all fours (sorta) but can't manage to put it all together yet! fine by me... i like knowing that when i put him down he'll be in the same spot when i get back.

new jersey!

2007-05-27T16:28:00.000-06:00

cash and i took a trip last weekend to nj and he got to see his cousins and his aunt and uncle. he also spent a lot of time with his grandma but i forgot to snap some shots of that... next time.

can you believe that chloe is 7 months older than he is and they're practically the same size!

brian and chloe are making the same face!

standing up! and mom's day treats!

2007-05-18T08:09:00.001-06:00

jumparoo!

tub time!

2007-05-14T17:55:00.000-06:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZknUK6_ZyWM

kelly was giving cash a bath the other night when he pooped in the tub! he was filming him having a good time splishing and splashing when he saw that oh so familiar face- that you will see right at the end of the video when kelly had to obvisouly stop filming!

happy mother's day mamas!

2007-05-13T05:08:00.000-06:00

new toys, a visit from cousins, guitar lessons and i'm holding my own bottle!

2007-05-03T07:14:00.000-06:00

he loves the swings!

2007-04-29T17:45:00.000-06:00

happy birthday janey!

spring has sprung!

2007-04-22T18:01:00.000-06:00

cash and i had a fabulous weekend enjoying the warm weather! we visited with friends, went shopping, walking, and sat in the grass for the first time. we missed kelly but cash was screaming "dadadadadada" in the grocery store today... too bad he missed it.

i'm that cute.

2007-04-15T18:52:00.000-06:00

random naps and housework

2007-04-06T09:19:00.000-06:00

cash seems to be falling asleep randomly lately... he gets himself so tired he just konks right out! the other day he fell asleep in his high chair eating lunch.

opening day!

2007-04-02T14:37:00.000-06:00

how does that happen?!

2007-03-26T17:55:00.000-06:00

spring is in the air!

2007-03-25T19:50:00.000-06:00

our baby boy is turning into a little boy before our very eyes! i tried to put this hat on him once when he was younger and it was too big... and well now, it's a bit too small! cash has been enjoying going for walks again and sitting out on the deck. let's hope beach weather is not far behind!

this picture i just love that we are making the same face...
and if you look real close you can see our matching dimples!

i'm so big!

2007-03-21T06:29:00.000-06:00

salinger, sitting and squash

2007-03-19T16:12:00.000-06:00

hi auntie stacey!!

2007-03-17T19:01:00.000-06:00

go vols!

2007-03-12T11:03:00.000-06:00

my first guitar!

2007-03-12T10:56:00.000-06:00

sorry for the delay in pics- we were away for a bit in mexico and then it took sometime to catch up on sleep. sometimes you need a vacation from your vacation.

cash got his first guitar yesterday and he loves it! it's just like daddy's but about 1/2 the size! more pics to follow...

homemade bibs!

2007-02-20T09:23:00.000-07:00

my friend erin (a.k.a aunt slappy) sewed cash and chloe the most beautiful bibs for their christening gifts! they are perfect in every way... size, absorbency and style! thanks erin!

i'm in!

2007-02-20T08:56:00.000-07:00

we went to new jersey this past weekend to have cash baptised with his cousin chloe. it was a beautiful day! all the kids behaved wonderfully and we got to see so many family members and friends! here are some pics from the weekend:

my grandma with all 7 of her GREAT grandchildren!

lots of pics!

2007-02-11T16:55:00.000-07:00

cash likes to stand up so tall! i measured him today and i think we're at 27"!
everything goes right in the mouth!

bath time has become playtime!
the highchair is our new best friend! and the jumaproo is still a favorite so many toys and the solo cup wins!
we're still working on the tummy time thing...
probaby wondering if i'm going to torture him with more cereal

he doesn't even fit in the sink! what?

growing like a weed!

2007-02-07T17:50:00.000-07:00

i can hardly believe how big cash is getting. every morning when i go to his crib it looks like he grew an inch! about 2 weeks ago, kelly and i thought he might have an ear ache or something because he was being so fussy- so we called the doctor and were told that he was going through a growth spurt. well, i'd say he did! he's now in 9 month clothing, size 3 diapers and sitting up like a big boy in his high chair! the cereal thing still isn't going so well, but we're trying!

cereal day 1!

so we decided it was time for little henry cash to have some cereal... well, you can tell from his face what he thought of it. day one didn't go as planned and he didn't swallow one bit of it. however on day 2, although he did grimace, he swallowed much more and then took an hour and a half nap! coincidence?! i hope not! day 3 cereal is going to be right before bedtime...

cereal day 2!

slippers!

it's been so cold here that we haven't been able to leave the house too much- and today while cash was in his jumparoo i thought the floor was awfully cold for his little feet and i had wished he had some slippers... then i remembered he does! my friend michelle knitted him these beautiful booties before he was even born and now they fit him perfectly keeping his little tookers nice and toasty! thanks michelle!

nevermind the fact that cash's feet never even used to come close to the leg seperator on his swing and now his feet are hanging off the end! kelly and i measured him the other day and he was 26"! we won't know how much he weighs until we go to the doc in february...

jumparoo!

because cash likes to stand up and be oh so independent kelly and i bought him a little present today and he loves it! i fear this kid is gonna be walking at 9 months!

i'm a big boy now!
