Jack, Charlie and Harry

We were very lucky to see Mark, Natasha, Jack, Charlie and Harry on their first trip to Grammy and Grampy's since moving back from Germany. I know Marty wished he could have seen them too. We look forward to seeing them again this fall.

Jones Farm

Today we visited Jones Farm with my Mom and Nana. Anna and I didn't get much picking done since Anna ate most of the blueberries. Blueberries are her favorite fruit so she would yell until we gave her another.

Beach's Pool

Anna has become our little fish. She loves to swim and play in the water. Today we spent the morning at Beach's Pool and Sprinkle Park in Trumbull.

Early Summer

The early summer has been rainy and very relaxed. We have spent our time close to home. My Mom, Rowdy, Sydney and Harrison visited over the Fourth of July weekend. On the rare sunny days Anna and I have spent time at The Works pool. Anna is now 13 months and still isn't walking. She will hold on to you or her walkers and take steps but knows she can get anywhere fast by crawling. Anna's favorite word is still "hi".

First Birthday Party

Anna had a wonderful first birthday party. Thank you to all of our friends and family who joined us for the beautiful June day. We missed all of you who could not be here to celebrate. Anna especially enjoyed taking turns riding in her wagon with her friends. Not knowing what to make of her cake, she finally dug in enjoying the thick layer of frosting. After opening just a few gifts the birthday girl headed to bed after a long but fun day.

Birthday Girl

Anna had a nice first birthday. Marty played hooky from work and we spent the morning at the York Wild Kingdom where a duck tried to eat Anna's toes. In the evening we had dinner with friends. Jack and Luke each made a special cupcake for Anna. She really enjoyed the chocolate frosting and made a mess of herself!

Happy First Bithday!

The year has passed so quickly and Anna turns one today!! And what a wonderful year! We have enjoyed spending lots of time with our family and friends. The year was highlighted with trips to Cape Cod, Chicago, San Diego, Hawaii, Vermont and many visits to Connecticut. Thank you to everyone that helped make this year so wonderful. Watching Anna grow had been amazing and we look forward to what the future holds for her.
