Father's Day weekend

First, here are a few early June photos:

It's always fun to be in the laundry basket!

Rosie and Aunt Sally

 Rory enjoying a wash in the bathroom sink at Grandma and Grandpa's house

Rosie, strawberry picking with her friend Lucy.  Unfortunately we got there after the berries were all picked out, so the few, tiny berries we found went directly into the girls' mouths!  :)



Rosie picked a beautiful bouquet of wildflowers
at the Saratoga State Park for her daddy on Father's Day.

Rory, crashed out on Grandma

 Kevin and Rosie playing ring toss

Susan and Alexis

Steve, Bruce,  John (Rob's father), and Rob

Who's your Daddy?

 

Outside fun

We went on a fun excursion to Natural Bridge State Park in North Adams, MA,

one beautiful day in June.

 Rosie's first s'mores!  I know it's not a true campfire, but they were good anyway!  :)

Marshmallow faces!  Yum!

 Rory, flying on my knees  :)

Some serious teething

Rory has been enjoying gnawing and gumming anything he can get his hands on lately!  We love to watch his face as he really gets into it!  Here are a few examples:

He also loves to "talk" to some things as he slobbers on them, especially the purple circles!  :)

One of my favorite new photos of Rosie and Rory!  This was taken at one of Rory's check-ups.

 

Testing out big sister's tricycle!

Toes!!!

 

 Loving the jolly jumper at Grandma and Grandpa's house

First Kurver ice cream of the season, with Aunt Susan and Grandpa!

This is how I found Rosie one afternoon when I checked in on her at naptime!  I love the tents she made for her little friends!

 

Grandma's choir concert (she's in the top row)

 

 Rosie loved the Mardi Gras necklaces at the restaurant after Grandma's concert

Rosie at Indian Ladder Farms, Heldeberg Mountains in the distance

Having fun in the jumper

 

May is over already??

Rory's echo this week in Pittsfield went well.  The aneurisms on the left coronary artery appear to be getting smaller, while the larger one on the right side appears to be the same.  This is good news!  We'll continue with weekly echos for another 2 weeks, then go to every other week, and luckily all of those will be here in Pittsfield - more good news!

Here are some recent photos:

 A visit with Oma for her birthday.  I love everyone's expressions!  :)

 Rory and Opa share a moment.

My gardening audience/cheering section.  :)

 The cutest face to wake up to!

 Big sister pushing little brother on his first time in the swing.  He was not too sure about the whole thing, but Rosie loved it!

 Static!!!

 Rory in the Moby wrap looking up at mama and the leaves on the trees during a walk in the woods.

 After-dinner snack!

 My big beautiful girl at our "secret" playground

Rory is checking out the big kid toys

Rory has such a cute laugh!  Here he is being tickled by Steve and giggling away.  :)

 Funny face!!

 Rosie, at the pond in Albany, feeding the goslings.

 The kids and I set off, (yes, a little later than planned) to walk to the Memorial Day parade in Pittsfield.  Unfortunately, we completely missed the parade because it was so short!  So on the way back home, Rosie waved her flags at passing cars, creating her own parade!  We made it home in the heat to have a refreshing ice pop on the porch with Daddy.

 Our backyard visitor!

 Rory loves his high chair and new cereal!

 Sibling love!
