Nana Comes To Nashville!

On our way back from CT, Nana came with us for her first visit to Nashville! Though she has been many places, she had never been to our new hometown, so we invited her down to show her around! We arrived very late after driving 18 hours all day Saturday. As she was settling in on Sunday, Nana slipped down our stairs and really fell hard! Unfortunately, Nana got to see where Christie worked up close and personal. After that little scare, we really had a great week. Here are some of the highlights!

Nana hanging with Elijah as we waited for Caeley's Vacation Bible School show!

After her last day of VBS, Nana took us all out to lunch at Noshville to celebrate! Caeley really felt special! And we all appreciated it!

A few days later, we were all off to a ride on the General Jackson, a beautiful paddle boat that cruises the Cumberland River.

Somebody's excited!!!

ALL ABOARD!!!

Tim Watson, an excellent fiddle player entertained us with his great band. Check this out, I promise you will have a smile on your face by the end like we did!

A few days later, we took Nana to celebrate the 4th country style at The Wildhorse Saloon! Here Elijah is cutting the rug!

There was a lot more fun, just spending time together. We loved having Nana visit, and really hope to see her come back and visit soon. Come on back now ya hear?!

The Last Stop in CT!

Our last stop in CT was to see the Gomez clan and for the kids to hang out with their cousins which they love to do. It was a short but sweet visit!

Hanging with Lucas AKA Mr. Happy!

Caeley posing with her old excersaucer. WOW!! How big she got.

Pretty girl!

The cuz crew June 2010! Thanks Aunt Maggie and Uncle Felix for letting us stop by (and for letting me stay more than that!) As we left CT, we brought a special passenger with us! (to be continued.....)

Back to Boston!!

n the middle of our busy trip to CT, I took the kids to hang out with our friends Mike and Davina and Noah in Boston. This great family was our (and technically still is) our next door neighbors. This was also the first time the kids returned to Boston since we moved. They had a great time the night they hung out with Mike and Davina and Noah while Christie and I went to Rhode Island for Christie's cousin's wedding. Check out what they did!

Miniature golf anyone??

OH YEAH!!!

Boo Boo is all business!

Caeley is going for it too!

Look at this kid! HARDCORE!!

Speaking of hardcore, look at this thing! This is part of the golf course!

"So I am planning to hit the ball right over there!"

"It's all you Noah!"

"That's how you do it" " You got it Mike?" "MIKE!!!"

Time to end the night with some ice cream and....

GIANT GOLD FISH!!

This was almost more fun for the kids than the golf!

What a great visit! Thank you Mike, Davina and Noah!!!

BACK TO CT!!!

Hey everyone! I came up with the kids for two weeks in June to visit our old stomping grounds in CT. Thank you Laine and Pop for giving the kids an amazing two weeks! Also, thanks for taking some amazing pics that you'll see here on the blog! Let's get into it shall we?

Any trip to Laine and Pop's means lots and lots of swimming in the lake! Here are some great shots! Here is Elijah loving the lake!

Laine watching the activities...

And of course, snacks!

My kids love playing with each other.

Look at this smile!

I know I am biased when it comes to my own kids, but my little girl is growing up to be amazingly beautiful! Thanks Pop for some of the most beautiful shots of here so far!

Time to boogie board!

Saying hello to Aunt Carrie's new little man!

Enjoying a snuggle with Laine!

Caeley and Allie

Bath Time

In the midst of this trip, Christie flew in for her cousin Dana's wedding. It was a built in date night in the midst of a very busy trip!

When the kids returned to CT after being in Boston with our friends Mike and Davina (see the next blog coming up!) it was time for strawberry picking!

Thanks again for an amazing two weeks Lane and Pop!
