Girl Scout Try-It

Happy Birthday Nattie!

I want to send a Happy Birthday wish to Nattie in ID!

Father's Day Lunch

This afternoon we had a wonderful lunch with the Martin, Blough, Snyder, Rineer families and our Italian guests. Good food and great company are the perfect combination! I was a little tired since my afternoon nap was cut short.

Happy Father's Day

Just wanted to drop a quick note to wish a Happy Father's Day to all the special men in my life a Happy Father's Day Daddy and Happy GrandFATHER's Day to Grandpa and Gramps! I love you!

Story Time

Do you know how much I love to sit down and enjoy a good book? Here I am reading a book to Mommy while she was getting stuff ready in the morning.

Trying to Grow-up too Fast!

Mommy told me to stop trying to grow up so fast....I told her not to worry....all they need to worry about it how much I love shoooes!

Martina & Elena Arrive!

This morning Mommy and I headed into the farm to hang out with Nana and Anna while Daddy helped Grandpa with his block wall. While we were hanging out we had a special arrival....Martina and Elena arrived from Italy! It was great to see my fellow birthday twin after almost a year and to meet one of her best friends from Italy. After we got them settled in, we were on our way to an Italian Festival in Wilmington, DE. It rained the entire time we were there, but we still had a good time.

Weekend Report

Friday night we attended a Barnstormer game and I was finally able to meet Cylo in person. I gave him a high five and loved to watch him walk around the skybox. I was a little trooper and stayed up till 11:15pm.
Saturday I helped Mommy and Daddy around the house. We were sad to miss Aunt Tiffany's baby shower, but sent her a message with xoxo.
Sunday Mommy and I went shopping with Kelly then enjoyed lunch with Daddy and Adam. Back at home Daddy and I had fun drawing on the sidewalk with my new sidewalk chalk. Mommy was a little upset....the video camera lacks a "Are you sure you would like to format" prompt and she lost ALL of the videos she has shot of me over the last six months. NO, Mommy was a little Pis@$% off!!!

14 Months and A Birthday Wish

First things first....Happy Birthday Heather (Heather is Mommy's cousin who lives in ID). Guess who turned 14 months old today.....ME! I now weigh 22.6 lbs and Mommy will try to measure me tomorrow night. More to post and photo to upload later!

Hungry Bogs?

Do you like whole wheat pasta?

Rough Couple of Days
