Boating on the Delaware

Recently, Uncle Dale and Aunt Beps got a new boat. We helped them break it in with a evening cruise on the Delaware River. Henry loved exploring all the nooks and crannies on the boat and helping Uncle Dale drive. We got a great tour of all the industrial sites that line the river, heading south, towards Philadelphia, including the local landfill. Not quite as serene as the lake, but nice to be on the water!

Neigbor Lottery!

Recently, a new family moved in across the street. Missy and Gary are in their early 30's and have three boys under four and a half: Andrew, Christian, and Jackson. It was like we won the neighborhood lottery!! On top of that, they are amazing! They also closed the gap between the other neighbors across the street that have three kids, but their youngest boy is 5. Now, there is constant kid craziness and noise coming from the street and we love it! When Henry sees the kids are out, he bolts down the down driveway. I can't help to think what these boy's relationships will like as they get older. I met one of my dearest friends, Corey, who lived across the street from me when were just 5 & 6.... now, when we get together, we bring our kids! I can only hope these boys can be as lucky.

We have had a couple neighborhood get together since they moved in - a pool party at our house and a "Movie Under the Stars" at the Dan and Kami's. It's going to be a great summer.... and hopefully there will be many more to come.

Henry had his very first soda... all the boys thought they were so cool!

Shady Brook Carnival

I am so far behind on blogging.....

Two years ago, I was walking around the Shady Brook Farm Carnival having contracts, the next day, I gave birth to Henry! It is now an annual tradition for us to take Henry to the carnival - he loved it, but still a little young for many of the rides he was begging to go on. Dad took him on a few of the kiddies rides, then we ate all the carnival food we could stuff into our mouths: funnel cake, ice cream, cotton candy... you name it, we had it.
