Mema's Visit

Beluga Whale at the Mystic Aquarium.  He came up and opened his mouth and scared Emma.  She now says he was trying to kiss her.

Rainy Day Video

Emma in action with the puddles in our driveway.

Rain in Rhode Island

Emma has been waiting for rain.  We received 3.5inches of rain on Sunday! Wow.  Lots of puddles. 

It started raining while we were out there.

 Mmm. 

 Tada.  Inside after puddle jumping.

 Dagwood tree at the park in the rain.  It was really pretty.

 Looked out on the porch one day to see Buster sitting in Emma's pool.  Who knows, he doesnt go in it when it has water in it!

 Here he is after a hot run with George.  As you can see the hole he dug fits him so it is big!!

Emma making mudpies.

Road Trip

Here we are leaving for the road trip to Michigan.  We left at 7pm and drove through the night, arriving in Detroit at my brothers around 7am.

Emma admiring Evan practicing his bass. 

 The whole family heading to the park by my brothers house.

 Sick of being tied in. 

 Sisters.

 Swings are the best!

 Emma and her cousin Avery hanging out.  Emma told me today she misses talking to him.  Ahh.

 Easter egg hunt.

Found it!

 Emma and Carter on a hike to the lake.

 Needless to say, Emma and Buster have the same love of water.  Couldn't keep her out of the 50 degree water on a 55 degree day!  Check out those hops.

 Carter trying to cheer up Quinn.

 Quinn back at the car after checking out Niagara Falls.  It was a bit chilly and windy.

 One of our pit stops, let Quinn out to play while Buster is using the potty.

 This is what your hair looks like after 14 hours in a car seat!

 Debute night of my brothers movie Louder than Love.  Both shows were sold out.

 Karl, Terri, Evan and Avery. Good looking bunch heading to the premier.

 Rockin' the 60s glitter.

 I never get to play....

 Cousins having fun.

 Loves the sand as much as the water.

Buster the co-pilot.  He really just wanted his dinner then he went back to sleep. He couldnt have been a much better traveler.

Niagara falls!!

Uncle Dean Visits

Uncle Dean is here for a quick visit after being in Boston for business.  We fit in a bike trip to the park and an ocean visit.  Emma didn't care that it was 50 and windy out, she still wanted to take a dip!
and Happy Birthday Grandma Sandy!! We love you.

Quinn Is One!

Here is Quinn eating her birthday dessert.  Whipped cream on top of a fruit tart.  She ate all of the fruit and left most of the custard and crust.  Happy Birthday Quinnie!!!

Emma is really into singing and dancing the Hokey Pokey these days.  This was right before bedtime last night. that's what it's all about.....

Quinn the Beggar

 Emma puts her chair on the couch when she has food because Quinn tries to steal any food within reach.  Here she is begging, even Buster knows better! 

 Nothing better than Elmo PJs, a tutu, and some fruit snacks.
