Vacation Pictures – Round 2

Diana has had a lot of “firsts” the last two weeks: first birthday, first cupcake, her first pancake and her first time to hold a fishing rod. (She didn’t catch anything in the yard in front of the house.) She also received her first doll as a birthday present and has loved playing with it. Although Madeline enjoyed changing the doll’s diaper, Diana enjoyed biting the doll’s head like an apple. Madeline was a lot of fun and Diana had a great time with her “big sister”. Madeline’s little brother Adam was unimpressed with the festivities and spent much of the visit napping.

Vacation Pictures: Round 1

We have had a great vacation here in Woodstock, NY. All of Diana’s grandparents got to spend some time with her and we had great visits from other family and friends. We’ve had great weather which gave us a chance to remind Diana what the sun looks like. Woodstock is a fun town with shops and restaurants that cater to both a veggie /recycle /ride bikes crowd and a steak/real estate/drive Mercedes crowd. (Of course, none of the businesses manage to appeal to both crowds at the same time.)
Diana had a great 1st birthday on August 8th. Madeline, who is two years old, helped Diana open her presents and nobody told Diana that she was actually only 11 months old. Her birthday will be on September 8th, but it was more fun to celebrate when everyone could be here. Diana had her first cupcake but we saved frosting as a treat for next year.
