Dryer Incident

So I left Jackson alone for a minute while I was getting some clothes folded (OK, I left the dryer open as well) and here is what I find...the little rascal had climbed into the dryer!

Anna & Nick's Vermont Wedding

My sister Anna got married on September 8th in Ludlow, VT. I was the matron of honor and Bill was a groomsman. Jackson got to wear a tux and he even hit on the 3 adorable flower girls (Nick's neices) by giving them lots of hugs. The bride and groom's get-a-way car was a 1948 green Chevy pickup truck which Jackson thought was so cool. He spent a lot of time "driving" it. The wedding was SO fun and the band was amazing. Everyone was dancing all night! Congratulations to Nick and Anna! We love you and are so happy for you guys!

Rehearsal Dinner

Here are some pics from Anna & Nick's rehearsal dinner on September 7. It was held on a patio overlooking the Okemo golf course. All of the guests got koozies which Jackson used to keep his sippy cup cool! I gave a toast and managed to do a pretty good job with it although I was pretty nervous.

Last Trip North for the Summer!

I am blogging from NY again. After a quick stay at home to do laundry, get some Opera projects done, etc. we are back in NY. Sorry - no pictures this time as my pics are all on my camera! My sister Anna is getting married in VT this weekend so we came up early t0 help to get ready for the big day. Bill and I are both in the wedding and Jackson will be sporting a tux like his daddy. Its going to be so much fun and I can't wait to see my guys all dressed up. Stay tuned for pictures when we get home after Sept. 10th. We miss all of our friends from the A-T-L!

Another visit to the Northeast

Jackson and I spent 2 weeks up North and got to do all kinds of exciting things. He really like the days at the beach and playing in the "pool" that his Nana set up for him outside. We visited friends in Massachusetts, spent a day with Jackson's "Great-Nana" and saw lots of other family and friends. It was a great visit!

Chick Fil-A: "Yeah, We're On the List"

You may not know it but Chick Fil-A has become THE hotspot for the coolest toddlers in the A-T-L. Last week we met up with Owen and Carly to have snacks and play hard. Carly was a daredevil and climbed UP the slide and got very upset when her mommy pulled her out. The boys tried to keep up with her but it wasn't easy!

Trip to the Northeast

We went to NY & CT this past weekend for my Anna's bridal shower and got to see the East coast grandparents. Jackson had so much fun and got to show off his walking skills in person! Pop-Pop, Bernie, Alyssa and Mike took him to a wonderful picnic where he bounced in a jumpy thing, tried his first snow cone and stole lots of balloons. We visited the Bear Mountain Zoo with Nana where Jackson rode on a carousel (and didn't love it!). One of the days we hung out by the pool with Aunt Anna and Uncle Nick. It was a great visit and we miss everyone already!

4th of July Fun

We took Jackon to Marietta Square for the annual 4th of July parade and festivities and met up with friends Scott, Sara and Emma. He loved dancing to live music with Emma (and mommy) and tried his first hot dog! Later he got a balloon, which he is totally obsessed with...

New Crocs!

Here is Jackson walking around in his new Crocs from Nana. They are a little big, even for his double-wide feet but they seem to stay on and are great in the pool.

J's Posse

Here are some pictures of Jackson having fun with his friends Owen and Carly. Jackson sees these guys on a regular basis and loves hanging out with them. Owen and Jackson are only 9 days apart and Carly is an "older woman" by about 3 weeks.

Ouch! Pavement hurts!

Jackson is learning to walk around outside and the poor little guy took a couple of spills this week. Here he is showing off his bruises and handing me his "boo bunny" ice pack for his head.

Happy Father's Day!

Dada and Jackson had fun today playing in the blow-up pool. It was Jackson's first time in there and he had a blast splashing and pointing at the "fwowas" (flowers).

He loves his daddy SO much and they love to be together!
