the Beautiful Sea

When we revisit this location in May, the ocean won't be the most breathtaking and beautiful view we'll be admiring...Can't wait to celebrate Auntie Christine and Uncle Jonathan's upcoming wedding! 

A wave and a kiss!

This Newport paddle boarder had a lot of great views to take in while paddling through the harbor. How wonderful to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Auntie Millie, Auntie Ginnie and Grandma Ann. And, of course, there was Zachary waving and blowing kisses like he is royalty. I guess that would make me one of his loyal subjects!

I'm Not Listening!

When did my almost two-year-old decide to become an insolent teenager?

I'll Get You My Pretty

Incoming, Grandma! There's really no stopping him..

Great Heights

Z wants to be as tall as his Daddy, but in the meantime he's finding ways to practice looking at the world from up there!

Making the Rounds

While we were enjoying the company of Grandma Ann, and the wonderful Great Aunties, we took a stroll out to Goat Island. We took in the beautiful sights of the Newport Harbor, and Z took his place escorting all of us in turn.

the Swing of Things

Last time we visited with Auntie Ginnie, she gave Z his first baseball, and baseball bat. Auntie Millie brought him a cute stuffed puppy dog.We were just happy to see them, and they showed up with toys. It's always dinner AND a show with the Great Aunties Ginnie and Millie!

trigger happy

Z thought it was total magic when someone else was pulling the trigger on the bubble gun--imagine his delight when he learned how to pull the trigger himself! It was a wet, sticky, messy and wonderful fun.

kiss the ground you walk on...

No matter how bad the booboo, a kiss from Grandma Ann makes everything better!
