Vacation

We just got back from a week in Avalon, NJ and had a blast!! We went with 4 other families, 10 adults and 7 kids in total. Ryan got to hang out with his cousins Sam and Annie and meet new friends Miles, Sawyer, Cody and Logan. All of the kids had a great time playing together. We were so sad to say good bye to everyone and hope to make this a yearly tradition! Some of our favorite pictures from the week...

Sawyer decided Ryan needed a hug...

"Hmm..what is Logan eating and can I have some?"
"I just want to touch Annie's hair!"




"This guy Mike is fun!"
Not so sure about the ocean...

Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July visit with the Doodys in Albany. The 4th of July Party was a great time - from the Doody Olympics to Rachel's mystery hunt to the Neil Diamond sing along. Ryan had a great time hanging out with Grandma and Papa Doody, his great grandmother Mum Doody, and all of his aunts, uncles, cousins, 2nd cousins and Great Aunts and Uncles. He met lots of new family members and especially loved watching all of his "big cousins" and playing with them. Even Nana and Grandpa D'Agostino traveled out from Massachusetts for the party. Ryan was able to play with cousins Connor and Lizzie, who were born the same week as him. He also had his first real swim in the pool and loved it. We can't wait for the party next year!! Thanks to everyone for a great weekend.
