Another Busy Saturday

 Emme's first time holding Kaitlin. Kaitlin is 10 days old.

 Emme working hard on her home depot workshop project. This month Pencil Boxes for back to school!

 Super paint job!

Nursing her baby doll Cinderella with her nursing shawl because you need privacy of course!

A Picture Says a Thousand Words....Or does it?

If I had you guess what was going on this photo I am certain the only thing you would guess right is that Emme is eating ice cream. This is an overdramatization (is that a word? if not it should be to describe this photo!) No one was crying, no one's legs were detached, not even ice cream spilled on any clothing. It was just one of those weird unexplainable moments.

Visiting Baby Kaitlin!

 Grammy & Kaitlin

 Uncle Paul & Kaitlin. She is checking him out!

 Hey wait a minute... How did you get in there Jackie? He had to see his cutie cousin for himself!

 Mixup!

Loving Aunt Jeanine!

Welcome to the World Kaitlin Summer McCarthy

 YEAH!!!! I'm an auntie. So excited to welcome Kaitlin Summer into the family.

 Emme snuck in to visit her new and first baby cousin! She was like we aren't taking this one home are we?? We had to reassure her that no Kaitlin was going home with Jeanine not us! Then she was ok with it all!

Baby Kaitlin and Jeanine are doing great! Kevin not so sure yet! Just kidding!

Feeding the Chickens

Emme and Natalie feeding Natalie's pet chickens corn on the cob. They are very timid around Emme as she is new to them but Natalie, Marianne and Dom all pet them and handle them. Very cool pets and they get yummy eggs too!

Swimming Fun

 Emme & Natalie playing in the sand box.

 Jackie snoozing in the sun.

 Swimming like a big girl!

 Emme & Natalie

Jackie, Aunt Jeanine and soon to be baby cousin!

Cousin Ben's Blog

You must check it out. He is the hippest dancer I've seen around. And cute too. I can't believe how much he has grown since my wedding. He was such a little peanut then. He is still little but he is certainly moving and "grooving" his way into toddlerhood. Hopefully we will all catch up soon with the Indiana crew. We miss you guys!!!!

The Best of Lorelei

Jeanine and I had a great time entertaining our three year old cousin or may I say she entertained us during our other cousin Bridget's baby shower. She is a true charm. She had us in hysterics the whole time. I wish that all three year olds could be that much fun all the time. She is always fun to be around.

Clover Rose

Here is a recent pic my cousin Bridget sent of Clover. She is getting so big. What a cute smile.

Happy 3rd Birthday Lorelei!!!!

Today we visited my cousin Lorelei to celebrate her third birthday and what a day it was. It was complete with a princess theme, delicious food, fun art for the kids and the biggest bouncy house I have ever seen. Everything was fit for a princess. Enjoy the many faces of the cutest three year old princess around. We are so glad they moved back to be closer to all of us.

My bouncy castle is finally ready!

I am so cute.

This pinata has yummy candy.

I love the slide on the bouncy castle.

Hey Dad aren't you coming in?

I think I am getting tired.

Oh wait it is present time!

I am getting very sleepy.

No more smiles from me. I've had enough.

It was also a nice surprise that my other cousin Bridget was able to stop by for the big day all the way from RHODE ISLAND. We finally got to meet her new daughter Clover Rose. What a good baby. She was so quiet and slept most of the day. Here is Clover with her grandma, (my Aunt Jackie.)
