Catching Up...maybe

Yeah...it's been a while. Weeding the garden, cutting the grass, cleaning bathrooms, as well as working full-time and helping my husband work full-time and taking care of a very active baby and running the Young Women's program at church has pretty much filled up my life. Plus, Dora (the computer) was so horribly slow that doing anything took eons. But now we have Della and internet life is a little faster. :)

I will attempt now to summarize the last 4 months by selecting one picture to represent each month:

February - lots of snow...lots.









March - Baby suddenly has 2 teeth. (She hasn't gotten any since then.)









April - Lots of outside work: We put in a garden, Papi cuts the grass for the first time in his life. Papi also starts to work the graveyard shift at the local hardware megastore. He sleeps a few hours here and there and watches Baby during the day. She is sitting and trying to crawl.









May - Vacation in VA is all about yummy food...crabcakes from the Eastern Shore, Cheese Shop (bread ends and house dressing), Sno to Go, Captain George's seafood, Cornell Chicken, wedding cake, and devil dogs were all enjoyed. Baby crawls and pulls up to standing.










Now that it's June, we're working a lot outside and realizing just how big our yard is. We're also getting ready to do some home improvement - the chimney has to come down (it's unstable) this weekend and the siding and roof near that will have to be replaced. We're also excited for summer and the beach and summer visitors and the Airshow.

Roll Over, roll over!


Nina's new talent...she prefers her belly, but will go both ways now.

And speaking of bellies, a few laughs to boot.

The heir apparent

Apparently, I have a new title at work... ya'll enjoy my 2 seconds of fame.
"Atlantic City historians: A life that might die out?"

Don't you want to eat her up??

We are considering becoming cannibals. NinaBell's thighs and cheeks just invite you to gobble them up! She's 20 weeks old today, weighs at least 15 lbs, and measures in at 26 inches already. She's lots of fun, and has started screeching and "talking".

She was blessed by her papi on January 2, and her Gritty and Grampa and Aunt Amy and cousins visited. Gritty brought her a beautiful smocked dress with handmade tatting, and Nina was the belle of the of ball! We also had a nice Christmas at home...it was especially nice to have good news - 2 engagements (my sister-in-law, Vero and Henry, and my 82-year-old Papa and Ruth)! Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate these lovely milestones.
