Visit with the Cousins Day One

Last week Erin, James and Kaleigh came up for a visit. Emily was so excited to see her cousins. The car barely came to a complete stop before she was out the door running to see everyone. It was too cute. James went straight to the swing set and Kaleigh and Emily played on the computer.

Park with Harper

The weather has finally cooperated enough for us to go to the park. On Thursdays, we try to meet up with our friends Maegan and her son, Harper.

Neither one of them wanted anything to do with me. As you can see from their expressions.

Abby just loves the slide!

St Patrick's Day Parade in Hartford

While we were visiting the family in CT for Mom's birthday we decided to hit the parade with The Aunties(Jen and Nicole), the Lynch family, Sean and Lauren. We forgot just how long the parade was...but we had a good time.

Right Said Fred has nothing on my little girl!

Cousins

Emily and Abigail got the opportunity to spend some quality time with their cousins while in Connecticut. It's great to see how much fun they have together and how much they enjoy each other's company.

Grandma and James

Happy Birthday Mom/Grandma and Abigail!

Mom turned 60 this year!! We decided to turn it into a combination birthday party for Mom, Auntie Kyle and Abigail. We had a great time! Weekends like these are when I realize how much I miss my family being nearby.

Abby's cake before she got her hands on it...

She loves her some cake.

Abby after Grandma took her cake away!! She was none too thrilled.

Abigail's 1st Birthday

I contemplated documenting anything about Abigail's birthday due to the fact that is was not as big as Emily's. People say that as a parent you tend to do things differently with your second child and I have to agree. I don't rush to the doctor as quickly, bumps and bruises are not life threatening and I have an easier time letting Abby cry while in her crib. I just didn't want that to apply to birthdays. That being said, we had a nice Sunday afternoon Hart's Turkey Farm dinner followed by "ladybug" cupcakes with Nana, Pada and the Blackwelder family. Thank you everyone for celebrating Abigail's birthday with us.

Birthday Girl

Clark. Is he just the cutest??

In lieu of a birthday cake Sandy ordered "ladybug" cupcakes to go with the rest of the theme. Ladybugs they were not, we still can't figure out what they were supposed to resemble. To be honest, they were a little scary. Sorry Sandy!

Abigail didn't care what the cupcake looked like. She had no problem eating it all up!
