Grandpa and Nana Visit

My step mom Cathie is awesome! She came to NY for 1o days just to help me out. It was great, I did not wash a single dish or cook a single meal while she was here! She helped with Caroline and AJ a lot...she even watched them twice so Tom and I could go out. My Dad was only able to come for 3 days...but those three days were great! Thanks so much for coming Grandpa and Nana! We love you! We took a lot of pictures, but I think Nana was behind the camera the whole time because we have no pictures with her. Very sad...next time we will get you Nana!

We went to Sunken Meadow Beach a couple times during their visit...






A few random shots....






One of the days we went to Hoyt Farm...






I guess when you live in a desert you appreciate the beauty of NY more, lol. Here are some pictures Cathie snapped around our neighborhood.





Our place... on the right




Another day we went to Sagamore Hill (aka Theodore Roosevelt's home)











Their last full day here we went to Robert Moses Beach with them and Tom's mother, Maryann... it's kinda scary how much Caroline LOVES the beach. She will just run right in the waves so we have to stay close!






Dad, right after a wave got him.


I loved watching Caroline play in the sand with my Dad....I wish we could have stayed longer, but AJ was crying and it was windy.

AJ's Baby Blessing

We had AJ blessed at church on May 29th...Tom did the blessing with my dad and it was beautiful. I was totally scatter-brained that day and forgot to do pictures while he was in white...and forgot to write down what exactly was said. Oh well...hopefully he's not mad at me when he's old enough to care. We did get a few pictures when we got home and I took some of him in his cute little outfit a week or two later!


Caroline wasn't so happy to be taking pictures...

pretty much sums it up...good pictures were not going to happen!

We thought we could get some once we were inside...still not going to happen....



Finally a couple good ones...

This is the same outfit AJ's cousin jarian wore when he was blessed...

He did NOT want to take pictures either!



Caroline wanted a picture too :-)
