Wild Ride

You can't see her but Charlotte did ride the Ferris Wheel with us...it actually went WAY faster than we thought, she was a trooper though and didn't cry, but she was a tad scared! She also rode a pony, the fun slide and the apple turner kiddie ride (with mommy because daddy doesn't like spinning rides).



Here we are as a family...



And here we are last year - she was just 3 months old!



The carnival has left town but we look forward to its arrival again next year. It really kicks off the summer season right!

Pink Geranium

Playing outside on the deck this week. How fun that she matched my planter!

Mille Grazie, Kim & Pete!

"A thousand thanks" for my adorable new Italian leather ballet flats, I totally am in love with them and the metallic plum color is gorgeous! And Chris loves his wine (which we will open soon) and the other funny gift as well. We love you guys!

Shot taken below with the flash you let me borrow - guess I should return that, huh? ;)




And BIG thanks to Kim as well for designing my chic new blog header - magnifico! xoxo

Carnival

The carnival is in town this week and we enjoyed our first evening there last night. Hopefully the weather will stay clear for the Firemen's Parade tonight.

I shot several pictures, Charlotte was in awe the whole evening. She especially liked the tank of ping pong balls that flew all over the place! To see the pictures close up just click the slideshow for the album.

Relaxing with my sweet girl!

While Kim & Pete were in Italy we decided to take the boys and Charlotte to a hands-on children's museum and play place in Gettysburg - it was awesome! Caden got to stand inside a massive bubble, Ryder and Charlotte played with a life-size Lite Brite and the three of them enjoyed a tea party in the garden - such a fabulous place, you have to go!

Caden Turns Three!

Caden's birthday was May 26th, but since Kim & Pete were in Italy shooting a wedding we waited to celebrate as a family until they got home. Mimi's dinosaur gift was the hit of the party! Happy Birthday, little man!

Kittens

After lunch this past Sunday at one of our favorite little pizzerias, Charlotte got to meet four tiny kittens. They were one week old and the waitress was kind enough to bring them over from the apartment next door. They were precious! Luckily we had the place to ourselves (and yes that is my kid on the floor with no shoes!!).

Note the last picture of Charlotte doing one of her signature moves (with ankles and wrists rotating). She kept calling them all "Belba" which is what she calls our cat, Bella. Too cute!
