Grandpa Bill Visits!

OK, so this post is a few weeks late, but Grandpa Bill came to visit us for a week at the beginning of May!  We all  had a lot of fun.  He went site-seeing with Daddy during the day and checked out the parks with Elodie in the evenings.  Elodie had so much fun talking about fire fighters and showing off her tackle box with Grandpa!  Here are a few pictures from the visit:

Scooter Skills

Elodie has been riding her scooter alot and working on her moves.  Big open surface = no need for real steering = nice long ride!

Happy Mother's Day x 2 !!


Elodie has some news to share!


That's right, you heard it right!  Elodie is going to be a big sister!  She seems excited at this point, though it's still about 6 months off... She'll probably be bored with the idea when the baby is actually born, but for now, she is having fun telling everyone the news!  Baby #2 is due to arrive around Thanksgiving on 11/21/12 - might we have another holiday baby? 

Here are some extremely crisp photos the new little_______.  (What do you think? Brother or Sister?)

Full Body Profile Shot, cute no?






































Needless to say, this is a special Mother's Day for me.  Elodie, you've completely changed my life and I love you for it.  I can't wait to see you as a big sister - you're going to be great! 

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's we know!  Especially, Grammie, Grandma Pam, Grandma Helen, Grandma Barb, Grandma Norma, Nannie, Aunt Lindsey and Aunt April!

Lunch at Grammie's

While Grandpa Bill and Daddy were fishing most of this weekend, Elodie stayed home and played!  On Saturday, Papa babysat while Mommy, Grammie and Aunt Lindsey went to Becca's baby shower.  I heard reports that it was a fun time!  Elodie said she played a game called "hockey" where Papa picks her up and spins her around.  And on Sunday, Grammie babysat while Mommy had some "me time."  Thanks Grammie and Papa! 

Here's some pictures Grammie took of Elodie at lunchtime....

Big Fish!

Grandpa Bill came to visit us this week!  So far, he's spending most of his time site-seeing with Daddy in NYC and fishing in CT so more pictures of Elodie and Grandpa soon....  but here's a couple great shots of the big fish they caught this weekend!  It's Daddy's Biggest Bass of all time!  Way to go Daddy!

4 Generations!

Last weekend, Great-Grandma Helen came to visit!  It was so much fun to have her around and Elodie warmed up to her slowly over the course of the weekend. I think the highlight was making ice cream together!  Here are some photos of the four generations of mothers and daughters in our family!

Great-Grandma Helen, Grandma Roxann, Tara & Elodie, Lindsey and Lena...

Fishing on the Street

Elodie loves to fish!  Here's some more pictures of her and Daddy fishing, this time the boat is on the street instead of the garage!

And here's a picture of their littlest fan who hopes to one day be able to fish too!
