Family Visit

We have had a fun week with family visiting. Highlights include visiting Niagara Falls Canada, swimming at Auntie Suzie and Uncle Ken's hotel, looking at ducks on the canal, going to the Strong Museum of Play, watching fish at Powdermill Park fish hatchery, and eating out at restaurants. Tomorrow we are meeting Uncle Michael in Canandaigua, NY for lunch. Here are some pics:

















































Uncle Michael came to visit a couple of weeks ago and we went raspberry picking and swimming in Canandaigua. Here take a look:

Charlie's 1st Trip tp the Zoo

July 4th!

We had a nice trip to visit Grandma Marcia, Papa Bear and Uncle Michael over the holiday weekend. We took Leila to a play at MacHayden. It was sleeping beauty and she got to meet the actors afterwards. She was even brave meeting the bad guys! We went to lake Taghkanic ; Charlie was not a fan but Leila had a great time. Here are some pictures and video:

Fabulous Fun with Food

CHF is eating food! From his first try he just took the spoon in his mouth and swallowed. He must really be paying attention at daycare as other babies eat. Sweet potatos are his favorite (he actually kicked his feet with excitement) and he was not too fond of bananas. Later this week he is getting peas so we will see what he thinks of that.

We call him "baby teradactyl" because he is constantly vocalizing now. He is making friend and actually held hands with Katie at daycare today (she apparently then tried to eat his fingers but we will ignore that). He is such a smiley baby! He is rolling over onto his stomach now and prefers to sleep that way.

LDF is enjoying the the summer, especially spraying her parents with the hose. She likes to tell jokes and listen to stories Uncle Michael makes up about Shawna the ghost.

Here is some video:

Summertime

Taking advantage of some hot weather wearing shorts and having a picnic in the backyard. Just a note, 3 year olds are not trustworthy with a hose. Here is Charlie having his first taste of bananas!

Memorial Day Recap

We enjoyed our memorial day weekend with Grandma Marcia, Papa Bear and Uncle Michael. Charlie likes eating rice cereal now (he ate it up the first time like he knew what the spoon was for, impressive!) and he is making everyone laugh by feeding himself a bottle. Leila liked gardening which meant getting wet and covered in dirt. She also got a kick out of the wind making the bubbles blow. She may be fulfilling her dad's dream in becoming quite the little harmonica player.

We went to Great Barrington for an anniversary lunch and drive around Simon's Rock campus, followed by some kid free shopping at the outlet mall.
