Friday Morning at the Zoo

Since we are members of the Lehigh Valley Zoo and Animal Preserve, we get to go an hour before they open. I went in a bit late to work Friday and my Mom and I took little Daniel. He must have remembered the goat that scared him at the farm in June because when he saw the goats he started crying and all the other animals after that scared him! Jason and I took him on Saturday again and he was fine.

Playing with Carrie and Tyler

With Vickey off for five weeks to spend time with her grand kids, my friends and mother have been watching Daniel. Here are some fun pictures of Daniel playing with Tyler and Jonathan at Carrie's.

Blue Marsh Lake

Last Sunday we met Jason's parents at Blue Marsh lake near Reading for a picnic and some swimming. We didn't get to spend much time there since a storm came in but it was fun.

Adorable Daniel in July

We took him to the Allentown Rose Garden where he sat in his chair, played in the creek, ate sand and stones from the creek floor and ended up with diaper rash for a week!
Jason bought Daniel this bike trailer so we can ride together. According to kids in the neighborhood he has now gone from the cutest baby in town to the coolest.

Daniel is also very helpful when it comes to laundry.

My Sunshine on a Rainy Day

I'm sure I've said this a million times - but I love every minute I get to spend with this little dude - even the rainy ones.

Jason's 30th Birthday

Jason just turned 30! We took advantage of Bethlehem's Restaurant Week and went out to eat with some friends at one of the area's finest restaurants. We all found babysitters and enjoyed a fully grown-up evening! It was really a great time and the food was wonderful. Thank you all for joining us in the celebration!

Sisters and Babies

Kat's parents welcomed their three daughters with their children to Mechanicsburg at the beginning of June. Things were a bit hectic and it was difficult to plan things around the schedules of four babies from three time zones but we had a wonderful time. Laurel and Sharon were home for about two weeks and Kat was there for two long weekends. While Kat was there we all went shopping one day (Kat's best friend joined us!), went to Hershey Gardens, swam at Jason's parents' house and in the baby pool in the back yard, and visited the park a couple of times. Here is a sampling of the fun.
