Yesterday was Tony's birthday. We weren't able to do much since we have a 1 week old baby at home, but Ella was very adamant that daddy needed a birthday cake!

Happy Baby Girl

Kinsley finally made her way into this world on Tuesday, July 14th at 3:26pm. She weighed 7lb 8oz and was 20 3/4" long. We are all at home now and adjusting to having a newborn. Ella absolutely loves her baby sister and sits and holds her all the time.

Ella's Last Hurrah!!!

Knowing that Ella's days as an only child were numbered, we filled the weekend up with lots of fun things. Ella had a couple play dates and lots of family time! Saturday night we headed to Stony Point for dinner, Build A Bear, playing in the fountain, shopping, and ice cream! Today Ella really wanted to go to the pool, but the weather did not cooperate so she settled for Chuck E. Cheese for lunch and games with mommy! We know that she is going to be a wonderful big sister, but we also know that her whole world is about to change!!!

Lake Weekend




We headed back to the lake last weekend because Brady and Dave were in town for a wedding. Brady finished up her internship in New York and they were in the process of moving to Vermont where Brady has taken a job as an equine vet with a clinic there. We wanted to make sure to see them since we aren't sure when we will be able to make it to Vermont! We had a great weekend with them!
