No They're Not Amish

Here are some pictures from our visit

with Noni and Papa in Lancaster, PA.

We had so much fun with them. My dad and sister

came down for the weekend as well. Jackson

"played trucks" and learned new songs and Italian

words with "big" Papa and I think they really connected. 

Noni and Jackson connected on the food level. He knew

exactly who to go to for cookies! He also got to know

my uncles, aunts and cousins. 

"Reunited and it feels so good..."

Bill was working so we spent an action-packed

Father's Day weekend in Lancaster, PA with

my grandparents. Our good friends from GA, 

the Jordans, were coincidentally at Hershey 

Park the same weekend so we managed to meet

up with them one day. It was a blast seeing Sara, Scott,

Emma and baby Claire. Jackson and Emma were

so cute together and had fun on all of the

rides and at the zoo. Miss you guys!

Happy Father's Day!

Bill was working on Father's Day so we celebrated

yesterday with a yummy fish taco dinner and

a movie (The Bourne Supremacy. Yes, we are

THAT behind on our movies!). Bill got an iPod

shuffle, which I plan to borrow. Last week, we

enjoyed a beach day at Spring Lake and had a blast. 

Happy Father's Day to Bill! We love you SO much!

Some Recent Playground Pics

Some recent pics of Jackson in action.

The weather here is so nice right now so we are 

spending a lot of time outside exploring. 

Da Bronx Zoo

Last week we hit the Bronx Zoo with Papa. It was so fun!

I haven't been there in years so it was a blast to go back. 

The place is huge. Ridiculously huge. We didn't get to nearly

everything but we made it to the Children's Zoo which

Jackson loved. We also saw the Polar Bears, Sea Lions and 

the Monkey House. After a few souvenirs from the gift shop

and a "gelato" we headed home - great memories!

Thanks, Papa!

A Vermont Wedding

Our good friend John got married on 5/17 in Vermont, near Okemo. 

He married this amazing girl, Hollie, who we absolutely love. 

We left Jackson at home and had 3 (3!!!) child-free nights to 

ourselves. It was so much fun staying out late, sleeping in, 

reconnecting with Okemo friends, etc. etc. Of course we missed 

the little bugger but it was great to escape with my hubby for a 

little while. Congrats to John and Hollie!

The Bates Mansion, where the wedding took place.

A sign outside of Singleton's store - you

gotta love Vermont!
