Lane Wedding

MK and I had a wonderful wedding on Saturday for JoEllen and Tyrone. It rained all morning, but the weather broke in time for their outdooor ceremony on the balcony of the Brook Lea Country Club in Rochester. Here's the whole slideshow!

And two Batman boys.

Take your dog to the pool (and your kids too!)

This was Moose's first official swim of the season! A nice cool pool feels great when you have 2 layers of fur!


And Mason had a great time in the pool too!
Daddy's been working out! Look at the air on that one! And the "big" boys. Jumping in for the 800th time. It just doesn't get old.

BOOM

Have you ever *boom* watched *boom* fireworks with a *boom* 2 year old *boom* who has just *boom* learned how to *boom* say "boom?"

Love you Jared!

Pilato Wedding

MK and I had a beautiful, relaxed wedding about 2 weeks ago(I'm a little behind on my posts) for Emily & Tim. I had been waiting all season for this wedding. I know it was going to be wonderful, and so much fun, and it was.

Florida

Finally a much needed family vacation! We all took a direct flight to Tampa to visit my husbands family and new baby girl, Keira. The flight was great 2 1/2 hours of smooth blue skies, and no meltdowns from the kids. We landed about 10:30 in the morning and hopped in our rental car.

The ocean was beautiful, and a balmy 90 degrees in the bay, just perfect for little boys to play the morning away, before we were chased out by a pop up thunder storm.
Nolan thought that Florida sun was just too much for his baby blues. Maybe 3 pairs of sunglasses will be enough?

Jared was all smiles at the playground that was "just down the street" - 30 minutes of walking later-we got to the park. We'll drive next time!

So we set off for Lowrey Zoo, a great place for kids. Jared opened the rental car door while we were driving about 80 on the expressway-Note to parents-turn on the child safety locks in the rental cars!

We saw all kinds of animals, they fed the giraffes, and we were dive bombed by birds. All tons of fun until - the incedent-
Here's Jared in the procedure room at Urgent Care after we were told his x-ray showed a fracture in his thumb from falling at the waterpark of the Zoo. When we went to the Ortho here in NY, we were told no worries-it's not broke. Jared has Trigger Finger. Thanks to Poppy's genetics I think. So it's not broken, just permanently "locked" :)

And the most beautiful baby girl ever, Keira. I'm a little partial on this one. She just smiles, and giggles, and she and my boys were quite taken by each other.
The family. Aren't they cute?

More beautiful baby. She's so sweet.
And just before we were leaving, Nolans frog.

Ribbit

All in all a GREAT trip! I wish we could have stayed longer, maybe next time!

Kian turns 1!

Kian came in for his first studio session-with curly hair, and big wide eyes. He's absolutly adorable!
