Updates!

Mommy thought she'd be waiting until we were settled in Ohio before adding anything to this blog, but it seems that Mommy was a bit lax in her photo-taking while we were all away for 5 weeks, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get up-to-date. We are moving to Ohio in 2 weeks! We are moving into a house, with a yard and a garage! We're all thrilled and having fun packing, packing, packing.

Here is a little trick-shot of me and Ella, my friend in Pennsylvania. Ella has a new little brother, Ty, who is probably as old today as Ella and I were in the photo! Our homes are far away (closer soon!), but our hearts are and will always be close!

More photos, stories, and maybe videos (those may come later) to follow!

It's a jungle out there

Boots turned out to be less inappropriate than expected
when we found the grass to be pretty long for Anna.

For a while it was panting for excitement, then there was this phase when she would make a funny sound by sucking in all the air she could to show excitement, and now she does this silent dropping of her jaw when she is excited!

Just being cute.

Philadelphia

A terribly sad occasion, much too short a visit,
but a pleasant time anyway celebrating Aunt Dolly.
What a beautiful service and
great job Uncle Michael putting it all in to words.

Vacation in Minnesota

First stop in Minnesota was the Mall of America and here is Lego Land!

Here is a link to lots of vacation photos.

Cuddly cousins! Ty, Anna just said your name when she saw this picture!

Thanks for letting me play with your pots and pans Great Aunt Denise!

My first lollipop! Yum!

Cheese!

Our first catch! It's a sunfish! Fishing was REALLY fun!

Now I'm getting it! Joey will teach me all the fishing lingo!

That's a Northern Pike!

Just Like Grandma's Teahouse, very cute.

A long, long time ago Pas went potty in an out house!

Hello, Daddy is that you?

Here is a link to all of our photos for June 19 through today

"Ah, ah" with a hand by my ear
EVERY time I hear anything or
see anything that resembles a telephone!

Another fun day at the lake

I miss you Daddy! I can't wait to play with my cousins all the time! Pretty soon!

Such sweethearts :)

Happy Birthday Ty!

It was pretty exciting bowling with Gramma at Ty's birthday party!

Happy 4th of July!

Another great party Great Aunt Maribeth's! And this swing is fantastic!

Where to next Pas?
I LOVED the fireworks and
the beeping from all the boats afterward was really fun too!
I stayed up my latest ever tonight.

I love you Uncle Bee-Yee!

So serious.

What a fun party Uncle Nick!

Mom says sorry for the various missing heads. The program just insisted on leaving some people out. The full photos are all right here.

Gramma's sauce is oh so yummy

Uncle Nick didn't realize that I need some help eating, so I had the chance to show everyone (especially Mommy) that I can do it on my own! Don't be scared of the mess Mama, it will be ok!

Home Sweet Home

Well, we all had a pretty good feeling anyway! In another week or so Dad was off to Spain and Italy everything was final as could be, though it still won't feel real until we have keys to the door! Here are some more photos of our house.

Congratulations Holly and Matt!

I spy the perfect house

Getting warmer...

My cousin Giuseppe is one cool dude!

Tourists in Cleveland!

Yesterday, Mommy and Daddy began our house hunt!

Today, Daddy has a conference in Cleveland, so Mommy and I are exploring.
Do you see the Browns stadium?

Now do you see the Cavs jersey? Who is #87 anyway?

Triplets?

Happy Father's Day Papa!

Here, let me help. The present is down here Daddy!

Visiting "Aunt" Deb and Pat at school

Put-put with a human femur

Hmm, what now?

Plastic hanger fencing, en garde!

I love you Aunt Dolly!

Thank you for my lovely Raggedy Ann outfit.
Your thoughtfulness will forever be remembered.
You are a blessing to so many people.
May God bless you always!

Water + Sun + Sand = Fun Play Date

But when don't we have fun?

So proud of Daddy!

Hopefully there will be some videos of me coming soon, but in the meantime, Daddy is the star! We're so proud of him!

Here is a video of Daddy talking about his work on www.ge.com Just go there and click on the sky in the middle of the page, then on the Post-it note that says "research; thinking cleaner" to see it!

Also, here is a link to lots of pictures since we've been home from Boston and my trip with Mommy back to Ohio.

I'm a crazy person!

Nee, nee; nee nee...

Pool, pool, pool...

"Pool": it's my new word and favorite place to go!

Dress up!

Quack, quack! I like to use the huge beach bag behind me for a purse!

Go Mercyhurst!

Yummy cheese sticks!

Messy play yard!
