New Baby.....

As you can see Jackson and Francis aren't the only ones who have been growing. We got to take a peek at the newest member of our family last week via ultrasound. Everything looked good, the baby's size is right on track and it appears to be perfectly healthy. We did do something a little different this time and let them tell us the gender. Sooooo for those of you who are wondering, it's a boy! That's right, three boys.... We are all very excited.

New Mexico

We had a great time visiting Casey's family in New Mexico. The boys met their cousin Juliette, who they adored and smothered with kisses. We visited with their Aunts and Uncles and grandparents and extended family and friends. They got to do some swimming, their Paka and cousins took them to their favorite attraction, The Farm and Ranch Museum and on Saturday Casey, his Dad and Uncle Kevin, took them to Chuckie Cheese. Of course, the highlight was celebrating Dan and Laura's wedding on Saturday night. Unfortunately we stayed so busy, I didn't take a single picture! There were plenty taken throughout the week though and I will update this post as soon as I have some!

North Stonington Fair

I have been attending the North Stonington Agricultural Fair since I was three years old, if not younger, so it was fitting to take the boys this year. We had quite a crew turn out: Nana and Pops, Uncle Justin and Jenna and the Streets. The kids loved the animal, especially the bunnies and enjoyed seeing all the tractors. We watched an oxen pull and dined on some of North Stonington's finest cuisine. Of course the rides did not go unnoticed and even the adults had fun taking them on various things. As you can see the Cotton candy was a particular favorite!

Mystic Seaport

Here are some photos from our trip to the seaport. We had a great time, playing games from the 1800's, making toy boats and touring the ships. We had our own personal tour guide, since my cousin Caitlin works there.

Greetings from the beach!

We have spent the last week at the beach and will be here until mid-week when we fly out to NM for Dan's wedding. We have been very busy with family and have been having a good time. They played with a tractor at Uncle Jim's, fished in Billings lake, took in some tourist attractions like the Watch Hill Carousel and the seaport and spent lots of time playing at the beach and boating. I have tons of pictures that I will be posting when I have a chance, but here are some for starters. You will see I also included a picture of myself for those of you who have have been wondering what I look like pregnant.

4th of July

Casey came home Thursday evening and we headed up to CT at 5am on Friday. We didn't get stuck in any traffic and we got here in time for the parade. Jackson decorated his bike and helmet and rode more than two miles to participate. Here are some pictures:

Washington DC

Last weekend we decided to go down to visit Casey rather than him coming home. We arrived Friday afternoon and checked in and then walked down to meet him after work. He gave us a tour of the office and grabbed some dinner. Saturday we got up early and walked past the White House and most of the monuments and then we went to the Smithsonian. The boys liked the air and space museum. The next day we went to Latin Mass at a church in Chinatown, near Casey's dorm and saw Pat Buchanan, a favorite of ours. After that we headed back to PA to start preparing for our NEXT trip, which begins bright and early tomorrow morning! I have been frantically cleaning and packing and Casey is coming in tonight on the bus. In typical fashion, Jackson choose today to take a big chunk out of the front of his hair, so the next time we see you all you can admire his handiwork. Anyway, Happy Fourth!
