Making New Friends in OC....

Mommy's dear friend Stephanie and her 3 boys Alex, Lucas, and Andrew came over to meet me today. We're going to be buddies!

Auntie Ainsley

Ainsley is Auntie Jo's baby. She was home from college all summer long so we got to hang out and spend lots of time together at the beach. She was one of mommy's bridesmaids in her wedding and she looked so beautiful. She's also one of the sweetest people in the world.

Ocean City NJ August 2006

My first beach party in OCNJ! Mommy carried me down to the beach in the baby bjorn and daddy pushed my stroller, filled with vino and cheese. Everyone was there! Gran & Poppers, the aunties, ainsley and the boys, beth, the whole gang!
Mommy and Aunt Kate have told me that OC is a special place to them because of all the memories they have of their summers spent here. Gran & Poppers are especially excited to introduce me to this wonderful new place where I'll be spending lots of time in the sand & surf. Poppers can't wait until I'm old enough to go swimming in the ocean with him and dive off his shoulders into the waves. I hope he teaches me how to body surf too!

This is my other Grand Auntie Mare. She and Auntie Jo & Gran have been friends forever. Gran & Aunti Mare partied together at Drexel. She is a fantastic singer and loves to serenede me.

Grand Aunties!

This is my Auntie Jo.
She takes such good care of me and we really bonded down at the shore this summer. Daddy calls her Mary Poppins because she picks up after everyone and really keeps a clean & organized home. Maybe we should kidnap her & bring her to Little Silver!

We're going home!

We're getting ready to leave the hospital. I can't wait to see my new home! When I was born, Mommy & Daddy thought I was the most beautiful person they'd ever seen. Everyone tells me I look like Daddy & Mommy told me that makes me one lucky baby because until I came along, Mommy thought Daddy was the cutest thing she ever laid eyes on. Daddy & I are going to be best buddies.

Poppers!
