Our Summer Vacation

What a great vacation it has been so far. We started the week off in New Hampshire. We visited all the sites and places I visited as a kid, so it was really nice to share these same memories with Emma. Storyland was by far the best day of our vacation. To see the smiles on Emma's face was just breath taking. I realize more and more that she is just growing so quickly and becoming such a big girl, that these times are just precious. Thursday we spent the day at the beach with Robert's parents since it was Lorri's 50th birthday and today we are off to Patriots Place to check out the museum and eat lunch at Five Guy Burgers, a place my husband has been dying to eat at. Here are some pictures so far of our vacation.

Sunshine Days

Oh how we love the summer months. This weekend was a great weekend. On Saturday Emma and I went blueberry picking with our Mom's group. Even though it was hot and humid it was a great day! Sunday we headed for the Cape to spend time with Emma's godfather Abe. It was a beautiful day filled with lots of memories. We spent time out on the boat and then headed to a private island for some time in the sun and sand. It is so nice to have great weather and to be able to do all these wonderful things with Emma. Here are some pictures from our wonderful weekend!

Emma's very first big girl hair cut

Today I took Emma for her very first hair cut at Stylin Kids. She did so well and her hair looks so cute. Here are a few pictures.

One Fine Day

Today was a special day. Emma and I went for another visit to see Johanna. Because they live in the Cape it is not very often that we get to visit. I could not believe how much Johanna has changed since Emma's birthday. She is getting so big. It was beautiful day down the Cape so we spent the whole day outside playing. After visiting awhile at Katy and Mike's we headed over to Laura and Daniel's new house. There Emma was fortunate enough to see her godfather Abe. It was such a great day. Here are some photos from the day!

Emma's Surgery what a SUCCESS!!!!!!

Well today was the big day. Emma went in for tubes. She was such a brave little girl and did so well. Daddy was the brave solider today and went in with her as she went under, it was very hard on all of us but this surgery was a must. Once she was out and in recovery we were able to see. Let me just tell you waiting 20 minutes was the hardest minutes of our life. Emma was quite cranky and angry from the anesthesia but all in all came out very well. After administering the Motrin we were on our way home. When we arrived at home Emma was given a special price to help her recover. After about being home for 20 minutes you would have never known she had surgery she ate a big breakfast, was dancing all around and acting her normal self. We enjoyed the day as a family and are looking forward to another great day tomorrow. I am so glad she did so well and is recovering so quickly. Thanks everyone for all the prayers and thoughts!

Curious George

Well we finally made our way to Boston Children's Museum on Sunday. It was a very special day for all of us because we were able to share our fun with Emma's godmother Shara, Jacob and Frank. The kids at a great time and played so well together which is always the way. We did not expect to actually see Curious George we only intended on seeing the exhibit but to our surprise George was there on Sunday. The kids were so excited to see him. Emma ran right up to him and gave him a big hug. We ended our day with cake for Kirstie's 19th birthday and dinner at the in-laws. It was such a great weekend and I am so glad that Emma and Jacob got to see the Curious George exhibit!

Birthday Weekend

Emma turned 2 on Saturday. What a great day it was! We had her party at our house with all our family and friends. Again this year the weather was terrific. Emma was so happy to have everyone to celebrate with. She received lots of nice clothes and cool toys. Here are some pictures. Hard to believe she is now two. Today we had our 2 yr well visit. And Emma is doing great. She is very smart for just 2 and extremely tall. She is now 37 1/2 inches tall and 28lbs which is great.
