Enjoy our photos of the rest of August! Whew!

Here are some really cute ones (remember you can click to enlarge):



And here is a slideshow of the whole month:

Day out with cousins!

Today was Carla and Grandma J's first visit to the Children's Museum and everyone had a ball! We went to lunch in Little Italy afterward, and on the way in...

I scratched a brand new truck! It was a very slight scratch that was almost gone with a little spit, but there was an angry granddaughter of the owner of the truck who acted like I almost killed her. They were all set to take it to the dealer, but softened by the afternoon when I spoke to the grandpa on the phone in the afternoon, and hopefully they'll let it go :)

Busiest Weekend Ever!

Had to change the slideshow, so...

Here you can see Erica's Princess Party for her 3rd birthday! Then there's our family reunion on my dad's side. It was great to see our southern cousins, and everybody of course! Finally, Carla's Baptism which was just perfect :) It was nice that she was the only baby being baptized, so the ceremony was all very personal. Thank you Father Tim! Thank you especially to Billy and AnnMarie for being her wonderful Godparents :)

Getting updated!

Just a few favorites:


This is a slideshow of ALL of July. I had to make some adjustments to my web albums since I am actually catching up on prints for the last year! Sorry for the repeats you'll see.

Curled up in a ball :)

Gramma's so much help and so much fun!

Meeting Uncle Bob; Cookout with cousins and Gramma; Fishy pool!

Carla - making a funny face! Were you pinching her Uncle Bob?

Carla is 6 days old!

Daddy and his girls.

Gramma gave Anna a new baby doll which she named "Pancakes", and then yesterday she got a new froggy and named it "Pastry". Is Anna hungry?

Anna likes the bottles best.

Anna had so much fun with her cousin Veronica! And I (Colleen, which Anna has been calling me occasionally lately) enjoyed Veronica's sense of organization - a girl after my own heart - she cleaned the entire play room - complete with a lovely view of the artwork!



Aunt Genni and Carla getting cozy :)


Snuggles with Gramma too!

Sleepy Zebra Baby

Thrilled to be a big sis, and with all the gifts that come with the job!

The happy ending to a wonderful day! At long last, our little sweethearts finally met tonight! Believe it or not, we didn't take any pictures of them! We're a family of four :)

More loving visitors for lunch :)
