Mom's Group

About once a week and sometimes once a month (when our stay at home mom schedule gets too packed) our mom's group gets together.
Most of us are in this picture - although I think we might be missing a couple mom's and babies.

I just love talking nap schedules and strange diaper surprises while sipping on champagne.

Lake Placid Vacation

Emmline and I took a little trip to Camp Redwing at Lake Placid. My dad and Dori picked us up in VT.
This was Emmeline's first ferry ride with Grandpa and Dori. She loved it!
Camp Redwing is amazing! Its a huge, beautiful house right on Lake Placid. I took soooo many pictures of Emmeline right on the dock of the lake. The view was so amazing.
Emmeline also had her first boat ride. Don't worry, this is not the life vest she wore. I just couldn't resist.
Dori's parents were sooo sweet and bought this little pool for Emmeline to use right on the dock. She loved love having her own little swimming hole right near all the action.
Our first real vacation without dad went pretty good - although we missed him so much! Thanks Dad and Dori for such a great trip!!!!

Family Reunion

My husband's family (on his mother's side) all met up in DC a couple weeks ago for a super fun weekend. Here is the first shot of all the cousins on Friday. They loved all being together and just riding up and down my street making me so nervous!

Early Saturday morning; wearing our very cool matching shirts (thanks Uncle Brent for such a great design) we headed down to The National Mall for some site seeing and museam visits. The matching shirts were seriously genius - it made it so easy to locate our group amoung the DC crowds.
We basically took over 1 entire Metro Car and spent the time doing pull ups on the hand bars and napping (emmeline).


We couldn't resist a cousin photo on the mall lawn. Getting them all to sit happily was a serious challange.

And well - here is our little peanut on the Mall lawn. Amist all the business she turned 10 months. I'm not sure how it all happened - time just flies.


It was so great spending time with Craig's family. The only question now is... where will we go for the next reunion???



Up and Running again

Wow - the second half of July and the first half of August were sooo super busy. So much has happened so bare with me as I post events that have occurred a couple weeks ago.
