One and a Half!

Today my baby is one and a half. Where did the time go? His speech is improving and he has especially mastered the word "NO." Here are a ton of pictures of Nathan over the last few weeks. Some of them were taken at Hershey Park last Friday when we met Grammy and Charlie for the day.

But before I post the pictures, I'd like to direct everyone to my best friend's (Jen) blog. Her and her husband just recently welcomed a baby boy to their world. They named him Logan. Randy and I are going to try to make it up there next week and we'll post pictures of our visit. He is adorable and we can't wait to meet him. Congrats Jen and Stephen!!!

Now - back to the Nathan show -

Face plant! Randy thought I was getting a wipe for his face...I was getting the camera.

The beautiful Hershey Hotel...

Mish Mosh of Things

This post has a bunch of random things contained in it so hang in there.


Last Friday, I had a girls night out with 2 friends from college, Jen and Leslie. We had a great time, but I missed my boys immensely!

Then, later in the weekend, Nathan got to meet Nonni's father, Al. Nathan took to him right away and really enjoyed seeing him.

The rest of the week was filled with the normal funny "Nathan moments". He continues to make us smile :)

This Is Jeopardy!!!

This is how we spend every week night! Enjoy!

Vermont/Montreal Vacation

We just got home from our amazing 1 week vacation in Burlington, Vermont and Montreal, Canada. There are way too many pictures to post them individually, so I created a slideshow to the right. You can click on it and see all the pictures in a bigger size.

Here are some highlights of things you'll see in the pictures...

Burlington - Playing in the park, eating ice cream, Lake Champlain boat cruise, Magic Hat Brewery Tour, Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour, beach time on Lake Champlain, ECHO Science Center

Montreal - Random street pictures, Basilica de Notre Dame, Olympic Park and views from the observation deck, street performers, hiking to the top of Mont Royal (almost 4 miles each way while we pushed the stroller), view from the top of Mont Royal, eating delicious Poutine (a french fry/cheese/gravy concoction that is delicious)

We had a great time, but we are happy to be home. Plus, Nathan needs his routine back!!

Busch Gardens Weekend Getaway

This past weekend, we took a quick trip to Williamsburg, VA to visit Busch Gardens. We went with my Dad, Barb, and Bobby. The trip was a lot of fun and we had a blast riding all the awesome roller coasters. The ride down was an adventure in itself because it took 8 hours when it should have taken 4.5. Thanks DC for your insane traffic.

There was really only 1 ride that Nathan could ride...this was it.
It was blazin' hot, but Nathan was a trooper.

After a long day of walking...I made everyone pose for a cute picture.

Jen's Baby Shower and Kennywood

The last week has been action packed for us. Late last week we had all the concrete poured and stamped. I'm putting these pictures at the end since they are the least interesting.

On Friday, we traveled to Pittsburgh for Jen's Baby Shower. I had an awesome time and I hope Jen did too. Here are some pictures of the shower.

Then on Sunday, we went to Kennywood with my mom's company picnic. Nathan got to ride a few rides and we had a lot of fun.

Nathan can drink through a straw now! (Thanks Grammy!)

Our Concrete Project

Our concrete project has finally started. After 2 hours, all the old concrete was gone. This is how far they got in 1 day. 2 more days to go.
