Allie is 1 month!

On August 4th, Allie turned one month old!  She was 22 inches and 10 lbs 5 oz!  What a chunker!  If only we could get rid of the nasty colic that has begun!    She really is beautiful when she smiles!  WE love her so much!

morning at the horse track

A few weekends ago we got up early and went with Grammie and Aunt Linda and Uncle Bruce who were visiting to the Saratoga Race track to watch the horses excercise.  It is really great to watch them at this time, before the track is really open.  They have brunch on the porch, tram tours of the backstretch, or you can bring your own food and just walk around and watch the horses and jockeys everywhere.  It really is nice and relaxing.  Cole loved watching all the horses and we were up for the day anyway!!  What a nice saturday morning!

naked boy!

It has been very hot and muggy latley so I let Cole strip down and play in the water in his baby pool.  He loved it and I just laughed - kids are so cute in just their diapers!

baby gym

Allie loves her baby gym just as much as Cole did, she even smiles at the star too!  I can't believe how fast they go from newborn to baby!!!  Cole loves to get right in there with her and poke her and give kisses!

Harborfest 2009

I realize I have been a little slow in updating the blog - for obvious reasons - so here is a few shots of our trek to Harborfest this year.  We have not been in about 6 or 7 years, so I really wanted to go see fireworks, since we missed them on Allie's Birth-Day.  It was fun- we got to see Jim, Keri, Carter and Gavin and the Conways which is always so fun!  My parents and grandparents loved to hang out with the kiddos and the fireworks did not disappoint!!  Cole also had his first snowcone - yum!

Stampcrete Patio!

Finally our patio is finished!!  They started the week before Allison was born, and it only took them a week.  Considering all the rain we had, they did a great job!!  We are really enjoying having a place to hang out outside!  Patio party soon to come!

New Swingset!

Cole needed something else to play on in our yard, so we bought him a swingset!  He loves to swing, he could stay in there for hours!  It only took Rob and Matt 6 hours to put together - and many beers!  Thank you Matt for helping out!
