Another Day, Another Boat

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

While we were in Atlanta we also went over to my sister’s in-law’s lake house, since they were up there visiting that weekend. We all had dinner and then went out on their boat. So here are some pictures of Desmond, Eloise, me, Dan and my Mom on their boat.

On the boat

Here are a couple of pictures from when we were in Atlanta on my parent’s boat at the lake. You can see Desmond, Eloise and Dan. Eloise and Desmond look so cute in their life vests!

New pictures preview

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

I still have some pictures to get up from our Atlanta trip. That being said I also have a bunch of new pictures from this weekend and a couple from a few weekends ago. Hopefully I’ll have a couple of videos to put up soon too after Dan downloads them off the camera. New pictures include Eloise getting ready to crawl, Desmond and Eloise in the blow up pool in my in-laws backyard and Eloise on a toy giraffe. Here are a few to keep people (Mom) happy!

At the pool at the lake house (part 1)

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

While we were at the Lake we went swimming quite a bit. Desmond decided his favorite thing to do in the pool was ride on my back as I swam. He really liked it a lot. I took a bunch of pictures because our pool doesn’t allow pictures and I wanted pictures of both of them playing in the water. So here are a bunch of pictures of Desmond and Eloise, with me and Dan and my Mom in the pool.

Eloise sitting!

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Okay last post for now, I have a ton more pictures to put up, but I will do that tomorrow or later tonight or something.

Anyways on Tuesday Eloise turned 4 months old! Where has the time gone? Seriously it doesn’t feel like it has already been 4 months. Anyways in honor of being 4 months old she decided she can tripod sit and I got some pictures of my little girl who is apparently growing way to fast, sitting up! So here they are for everyone to enjoy! Plus two extra pictures of Eloise and Dan’s hat.

I love her expression in these last two pictures. I think Desmond was over there and she was watching and talking to him.

Desmond helped me take this picture by putting his hand in front of the camera. Apparently I should have been taking pictures of him, not Eloise!

Desmond at the playground

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

One of my natural parenting group play dates was held at Centennial park. Dan and I had no idea where this park was, but we found directions and since he was home that day we both went to the play date. The park is about 10 to 15 minutes away driving so it isn’t quite as convient as the park across the street, but we are really glad we found it, since Desmond loves the playground there.

There are no swings which is a bonus, since at the park across the street he likes to go and swing for the majority of the time, so not being able to swing means he burns off far more energy then swinging. It is also just a great play area. Anyways I have a couple of pictures of Desmond sliding and just hanging around at the playground on July 3rd.

Gymboree Play (part 1)

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

These are pictures from July 2nd or so when we went to Gymboree open gym. I have a few of Desmond and a bunch of Eloise. In fact there are enough of them that I am going to split them into 2 posts. The pictures maybe a bit blurry since I took them on the smaller point and shoot camera and not on the good camera. Anyways here is Desmond playing and Eloise looking cute.

I love this picture of her just looking right at the camera!

Pictures from David and Aliza’s wedding

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

On the 5th we went to the wedding of a good family friend. Desmond and Eloise were invited as well and both of them had fun. My whole family was there as well, since the groom’s mother is my Mom’s best friend and we grew up with the groom and his sister. Both in Boston and in Atlanta. It was a lot of fun, even though I did miss most of the ceremony due to chasing a 2 year old who had no interest in sitting still to watch the ceremony. He had a lot of fun at the wedding though on the dance floor! Here are some pictures of Desmond with me, Dan, Nonnie and one of Eloise and Nonnie as well.

Blueberry Picking on Father’s Day

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

So on Father’s Day we went out to the pick your own farm. We were going to get blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. We got some cherries because the two short ones were asleep when we got there so I went out picking while they napped in the car with Dan. The strawberries were rather weak so we decided to skip them. The raspberry fields were still closed, but we got a bunch of blueberries. Desmond loves blueberries. Here are all the pictures of Desmond picking blueberries. We should be going back this weekend to get more blueberries and some raspberries as well.

And here are me and Eloise picking some blueberries
