So, needless to say the Ruddy family has been very busy over the past few months. Since we last posted we have: said goodbye to all of that lovely snow, celebrated Easter, attended a police benefit breakfast in Canada, taken multiple trips downstate to visit family, Henry started t-ball, Mommy worked hard on a ladies luncheon for church, battled a few illnesses, went to Massachusetts to see Uncle Shane graduate from WPI and go to the zoo, and most importantly welcomed a new cousin into the world, Abel Matthew! So here are a few (51) photos of our adventures, we'll try to have them in some kind of order (most recent first)!
We took this one from our first boat ride of the season last night. It was SO hot but the water was still too chilly to do more than just wade! I would like to say it was a nice smooth ride in the canoe, but look at those mischievous faces... you would just know I am lying!

BENNY'S EARLY BIRTHDAY PRESENT
Knowing how much they enjoy the coupes at their house
Grammy and Grandpa Friend bought Ben an early birthday gift.
A cozy coupe truck!
Boy do the boys love it! If only they would use it properly...
At least their sharing...right?
ABEL MATTHEW SPRAGUE
As we mentioned before we have a new family member.
Aunt Mandie and Uncle Ricky had their baby!
He was born on May 24 and he is cute as a button!

Getting a good look at the tigers eating their breakfast
Henry's favorite parts, the very cool trees near our picnic lunch,
and the new GIANT playground
This one is kind of a funny story... Ben decided to dump out the remainder of his cheeze-its on the ground, we picked up some of the mess and walked away in shame, only to see a few minutes later there was a hungry peacock cleaning up the rest for us. We must have missed the signs asking people not to feed the animals...oops
FREEPORT LL BEAN
On our way to Mass. we stopped by the L.L.Bean flagship store in Freeport to pick up some new summer sandals for Henry. I bet you can guess what the boys favorite part was!
UNCLE SHANE'S GRADUATION

Henry loves spending time with his Uncles,
here is a cute photo of Hen and uncle Luke from dinner the night before!
T-BALL
Henry has been playing t-ball through the town of Stratton, with some of the local kids,
he says it makes him "nervous" cause he doesn't know many of the kids
but we hope he'll come out of his shell soon.
When we do get him to participate he does a really great job!
EASTER 2013
Decorating "the most beautiful eggs in the world" as Henry put it.
This one was just before mommy called poison control to see if concentrated egg-dye is toxic.
Thanks Benny!
Henry on his egg hunt! We stepped it up to 80 eggs this year!
Cutie boys all dressed up for service
SURETE DU QUEBEC "TIP-A-COP" CANCER BENEFIT BREAKFAST

Daddy's friend Mr. Campangna gave Henry and Ben an all-access pass to the newest police cruiser, boats and 4-wheelers, that were on display outside the restaurant. It was hard to get them back in the minivan after that!
OUR LAST FEW ROMPS IN THE SNOW!
