Ivy Jane visit - Saturday night in Dorchester...

Had a nice visit with Ivy Jane Saturday night....Clinton and Stacey went to a new "Fondu" restaurant in Framingham....She is such a "girl" compared to the guys I hang around with in Bristol....She's starting to stand up and walk...she's so proud of herself when she gets "all the way" up in her room.....she's too cute...

Lance and Lincoln.....hanging out with the Boys in Bristol....

Lance loves little Lincoln.....he gives him hugs and kisses....he loves having his little brother around....wait till they are both up running around....what fun!!!
Lance laughs at Kathy and Gable is waiting for Lance to spill some Cherrios....

Lance still loves getting in the closet. Lincoln looks like he's smiling even though he's sleeping..I wonder what he could be dreaming about....

Lance Michael having fun in Bristol....

Lance is fascinated by the luggage and anything with wheels....all I could think of was Donald Trump saying "you're fired".....

Lance loves to get bundled up and go outside with Kathy........Looks like he wants to help Mom and Dad cook supper.....

Lincoln is a fan of the Steelers.......

Lincoln looks like a football hero for the Pittsburgh Steelers ha? He looks just as cute without the hat too...

Here are the 3 Archibald "children"...Gable, Lance and Lincoln. Gable does not like to be left out so he sits with the boys all the time...he's like the "watchdog".....

Visit with the "Archie Boys".......

Lincoln and Lance love sitting in this cute little booster seat - I'm not sure what you call this thing...I know Ivy Jane has one too....someone please comment here and tell me what you call this thing....it makes Lincoln look grown up.
Lincoln loves the exercise toy too...he loves to grab the toys as they all make "crackle" noises, which he loves....

Lance was waiting for Mom to take him outside in the freezing back yard to go sledding on 1/2 inch of snow.....

Lincoln is a "happy guy"

I had fun visiting Bristol last weekend and getting some updated photographs of the boys....Lincoln Jeffrey is always smiling....The "Jean Jacket" fits him finally...he's getting so "big"...another tough fellow ha Conor?

Lance has many faces....

Lance gets this intense look on his face when he's trying to do something "mechanical"....wonder what he'll be when he grows up.....I'm still wondering what I'll be when I grow up!!! Kathy took him out -- even though there was only a "smidch" of snow on the ground...he doesn't care about getting cold or wearing all the layers.

Donnie says "Safe Travels" to Cynthia

I love this moment with Donnie getting ready to hug Cynthia....Cynthia and Mickey will be joining Vinnie in Laguna, California next week....the weather will certainly be warmer and sunnier out there....Hey Donnie and Joyce, let's organize a race on the West Coast with Vinnie.....

Delicious Cod "Pizza" for Supper

I was proud of myself...I made this gourmet -- Pizza of Roasted Cod (I used Haddock) Spiked with Chorizo, Tomatoes, and Mushrooms -- Since Jape, Tommy and Mom were coming over...it was delicious....and very healthy.....We sat around and chatted with a nice glass of wine in front of a cozy fire that Jeffrey got going for us...it was freezing out!!!
