Apple Picking

I am embarrassed to say that I forgot my camera this past weekend when we went apple picking. Thankfully Jon and Kat have new fancy Iphone thingy's so Kat captured this great shot of Jacob! Holy Crow this kid is CUTE!!!

Triathlon pictures

My mom was kind enough to buy the cd of pictures taken by the photogs at the triathlon. Thanks mom!!!! They aren't exactly pretty but they are proof. They seem sorta small. I seem to have a bit of a photo fight with blogger but click to see them larger.

Asbury Park is really great. I should find the shot I took of this building only a few years ago!

I would like to personally thank #86 for blocking most of me as we made our way to the starting line on the beach! That is Jen in the black bathing suit next to me. We are wearing the blue caps.

The first heat heading out....I'm not in this shot but I liked it.




WooHoo! The big finish!!!! YAY!!!

A Happy Birthday at Longwood Gardens

My mom and dad came for a quick visit for her birthday weekend. They actually only stayed with us one night on their way to the Brandywine area which is really beautiful. Her favorite gift was getting to hug on these 2! Happy Birthday mom-we love you!

Stella helping Grammie blow out her candles. We actually had cake for breakfast, hence the pj's.

We met them for the day in Longwood Gardens. Really stunning and it was a wonderful day and way to celebrate her 29th yet again.


Daddy and his girl!

How cute is this one with his hands in his pockets!

Hanging on to Thomas. They had a very elaborate train set up that we all stared at for like 40 minutes.

The most incredible lilypads I have ever seen.

Stella and Jacob brushing this guys teeth in the children's part of the gardens.

Grandma Barbara McGann

My sister in law Rosana remined me that today is Brian's moms birthday. I think I can speak for Rosana when I say we so wish we had been able to meet her. She sent me this photo/painting that I had never seen and I thought I would post it to say Happy Birthday Grandma Barbara!

Back to School!

Stella B started her second year of preschool today! She was so excited to return to Little Tree and see her friends. It is a beautiful day here and actually felt more like fall when I went to pick her up and there was a chill in the air. Just glad I snuck in one more wearing of this adorable dress.

You can't really see that Jacob is behind her in this shot. After he saw her grab her backpack he wanted a bag too so he grabbed the bag I keep my grocery bags in and dragged them out with him. Very funny.


He is so ready for school, too bad her has to wait a year!



Hurry up mom....I wanna go in!!!!

She ran right over to start playing with 2 friends from last year. Notice the teacher in the upper left holding a screaming crying child who didn't want her mommy to leave. That would be brutal. Fortunately Stella is very happy to be there and barely looked up when I said goodbye. My big girl!
