Bath time

 These are the first photos of bath time for Andrew and Emilie.  With two of them, I either forget to grab the camera after one is already in the tub and by then I obviously don't want to leave them in the bathroom by themselves.  This time when I finally remembered... Andrew is just finishing his bath and Emilie is just starting.  They are 10 weeks old and love to take a warm bath. 

Emilie all ready to be washed.  Love these little terry cloth covers to keep them warm. 

Jackson's first fishing trip!

Jackson wanted a fishing pole for his birthday so Grandma and Grandpa made sure he got a Spiderman pole, tackle box and water shoes!  Needless to say Jackson was thrilled!  We have a couple of fishing places at Twin Brooks Park by our house. 

 All packed up ready to go fishing!

 On the trail very excited.

 Learning how to cast.

 Putting more bait on the line

I did it! Jackson was able to cast the line into the pond.

 Our fishing setup, we packed a picnic and made sure the stroller was covered with a bug net. 

 All packed up ready to go home!  No fish this time...

Maybe next time, fishing sure was a lot of fun!

PEZ Factory

The PEZ factory is 15 minutes from our house in Orange, Connecticut. It is a 9,000 square foot trap with all the PEZ dispensers you can imagine!  You pay $5.00 to get in but receive a pretty cool lanyard and a $2.00 credit to buy one of the many souvenirs!!! So we decided to take Skylar and Jackson to the land of sugar!

 Ready to learn all about PEZ

 Huge PEZ dispenser

 Loving our lanyards

 I totally remember these boxes of cereal and the fuzzy PEZ dispensers

 Free samples...

 We love this place!

After the sugar...

Family Visit

Mike went to Boston for a week for an Economics conference.  I recruited my Aunt Darlene from Tennesee, Great Grandma Defenderfer, Nana and Skylar to help out with the babies and Jackson!

 Due to the peanut allergy restriction at school, Jackson celebrated with Luigi's Italian Ice cups!  They were delicious considering it was a very hot day!

 He was so surprised to see the new present in the playroom!  A Thomas the Train choo choo table.

 Celebrating at Grandma and Grandpa Staffaroni's house!
