Friends

Some of Decky's friends have come over to play....

Declan showed Finn, who is two weeks younger then Declan, his favorite place....the window!

Hmmm, is the little 'tude starting already?

He was quite the chatter box here, and seems to have so much to say.

Memorial Day

We went over to my parents for Memorial Day and it was such a beautiful day, we spent the entire afternoon outside grilling, playing croquet, and we even got Declan's pool out for a little dip.

I look like I am up to something....

Taking his time, not quite sure what this is....

Declan's favorite - "Whas sat?"

Silly Bristol!

I think I like this pool thing!

A little chilly, but I don't want to get out yet!

Yep, you guessed it "Whas sat?!"

Tony and I are finding ourselves these days constantly saying, "That's the stove. The table. The ceiling fan. The couch. The window. A bridge. Those are cars. Grass. Trees. That's a tree. Yup, a tree.....Ha, you get the point! Oh, I love how curious babies are!

Luca and Bristol chased each other around the yard all day. Bristol looks like she is about to pass out in this picture!

Back in the pool!

Two Harbors

Tony and I decided a week before Memorial Weekend that our family needed to get out of town. Being that we only had a few days before the long holiday, we had a lot of trouble finding what we were looking for, but last minute, we found a beautiful resort in Two Harbors, Larsmont. We will definitely go again!

We rented a cabin right on Lake Superior. The cabins were kind of colonial looking and we had our own walk-out to the beach with a patio, grill, and bonfire with s'mores. It was wonderful and a much needed relaxing vacation for all of us. Declan was such a good boy, and slept great! It must have been the fresh air. Hanging out with Dad before bed.

We tried so hard to get a good pic of Dec and I, but this is the best we could get. Someone was past his bedtime.

Hanging out with his cool shades (that he absolutely loves to wear!)

We made a little stop to a coffee shop in Two Harbors

Our view!

Who is that cool dude?

Getting ready to go home.....

What a fun weekend...I'm pooped!

Declan's Birthday Cake - Take 2

Since Declan was sick on his birthday, he didn't have any interest in his birthday cake. We put it in the freezer and decided to try it one more time this weekend. He wasn't quite sure what to think about it....

Hmmmm.....looks interesting.

Not sure I like this gooey stuff on my fingers

Haha, it's all over my face

Mmmm, pretty tasty!

Nevermind, I am NOT a fan of cake!

Sunday picnic at the park

It was such a beautiful day on Sunday, so Tony and I took Declan to the park for a picnic lunch. As usual, he loved being on the swings and just giggled and kicked his little legs the whole time.

Monkey

Declan has recently learned how to climb up on things. We have a table that Declan keeps his puzzles on, and the other day, he decided he would rather sit on the table and play with his puzzles....oh jeez!

Let's Dish

My mom and I met early Saturday morning for a "Let's Dish" session in Woodbury and had a blast! It was so fun to come home with 12 new meals! Working full time, I am so excited to have so many easy to cook meals to whip up after work. Thanks mom for a fun morning!

Where's Declan?

Declan loved playing, "Where's Decky?" We usually play after I take him out of the bath with a towel, but he developed a new version with the tupperware last weekend.

New Job

Tony accepted a position with a new company, and we are so excited for him to begin a new chapter in his career!

He received a really neat plant from his new employer the other day.

I thought it was a really cool man-plant!

Congratulations Tony!
