Grant Turns 2 years old!

Our little Grant turned 2 years old on Sat, Aug 27th, the day that Hurricane Irene hit NYC. Luckily, we spent the prior week back in Southampton Beach, NY at Mike's boss's vacation house. His boss generously offered his amazing beach house while he was on a safari in Kenya. Mama took the kids out there for the week and Dadda joined right before we had to turn around and head back to NYC to avoid flooding and power outages. Grant is growing up so fast and wants to do everything big sister Lila does. We think Grant is the smartest little toddler who does not talk. So, Happy Birthday Grant!!

Hamptons part 2

Here are more photos from our month in Southampton.

Hamptons in July - Part 1

We just returned from a glorious month in Southampton, NY. We shared a house with Lila's best friend Emmy's family. The kids had a wonderful time swimming in the pool, going to the beach (Lila and Grant loved splashing in the waves), going to outdoor concerts, seeing family and friends, eating ice cream, enjoying our peaceful deck with meals and doing artwork and just being in nature. Alas, we are back in the hot city - here are the first batch of photos from the iPhone....will post more once it's all downloaded from our camera.

Summer Visits

Here are some pictures of our latest summer visits/visitors. As of now, we are in Southampton, NY for the month of July at a beach house. We are sharing a house with our good friends John and Alycia who have 2 kids, Emily and Bailey. Emily and Lila have been best friends since 7 months old and they are having a really fun time! Grant is keeping up and is part of the gang. The 3 kids are sharing a room so there is a lot of talking and later bedtimes. Little Bailey is 1 year old, so next year will be more part of the clan. We will try to post pictures from here. Hope you are all enjoying your summer!

Last Days of ....

A lot of "last days" before the summer officially begins. Lila closed out her school year at Chelsea Day School with a Watermelon Party, got her gymnastics medal and celebrated Father's Day....

The Latest Activities

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

Over the Memorial Day weekend, we dropped the kids off at "Grandma Camp" in Virginia. The kids had a great time with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Matthew and Joy. The 2 other uncles (Jeffrey and Stephen) were both out of town. Meanwhile, Mama and Dadda enjoyed a very nice getaway vacation to Charleston, SC! A really wonderful town to visit, great food, great shopping and great time to relax!
