Camp Out

Jer and Josie attempted their very first Camp Out in the backyard on Saturday. Josie was so excited to sleep outside with her Daddy. We got the tent out, her special teddy bear sleeping bag and lantern, roasted s'mores and had a great time. After I went in the house at about 10:00, Jer started our nightly routine of reading her stories and singing her songs to try and get her to go to sleep. After about an hour, she rolled over and said "Dad, can we go in the house and take a nap". She kept thinking that the tree outside of the tent was a Dinosaur, which was pretty upsetting to her. DARNIT!

Stuff

Well, we're now down to 11 days until baby's birth day!! We have been very busy with last minute details, but I think we're finally ready. Josie is getting very excited and has finally agreed to share her old room with the baby. Hopefully that sticks!! Here is what we've been up to for the last couple of weeks:

Josie LOVES to play dress up, here are a few of her creations....

She held her first sparklers on this 4th of July - she called them "sticks" and as soon as one would burn out, she wanted another and another....

Daddy and Papa put together her very first SwingSet over the 4th of July as well. She LOVES to swing!!! We put her pool at the bottom of her slide which she loved as well!! Good job guys!!! (Nice hat Papa)!

Our Big Girl

Josie slept in her big girl bed ALL NIGHT last night. WAHOO!! We took pictures of her last night in her crib, which was a very sad day for us. She is growing up soo fast. We are so proud of her. Here are the pictures of her in her big girl bed and her cute new room that we have worked so hard on. Good Job Josie!!

Happy Father's Day!

Josie made breakfast in bed for Jer on Saturday for an early Father's Day present! She ate all of his fruit on the way up the stairs, stuck her finger in the yolks of his eggs and then jumped on the bed the whole time he was trying to eat, but Jer appreciated it anyway. She is such a lucky little girl to have him as her Daddy! He is an amazing Dad and we love him more than anything in this world!! Happy Father's Day, Jer! We Love You!!

Happy Birthday Dad, Dari and Darek!!

It was Papa's 60th Birthday on Saturday. We went out dinner on Friday night and gave him his big surprise - tickets to go see the Yankees next weekend with Chris and Jer. He was so excited. Auntie Lucille, Anthony & Nicole came with us as well. It was great to see everyone!!

Then on Saturday, we took him and Josie to the Zoo for Dari the Elephant's 48th Birthday Party!! Josie was so very excited, more for the elephant's party than Papa's, but thats okay!! We had such a fun weekend. Happy Birthday Dad, We Love You!!

Dad and Dari also share their big day with Darek. Happy 31st Birthday Darek, We love you too!!
