Still Summmer?

Enjoying the lingering summer weather with Ashlyn and Blake at a local park.

Sesame Place

Lydia and Mommy recently visited Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA with
the Roberts Fam to celebrate Blake's 2nd Birthday. We had a wonderful
time! Here are several of our favorite shots from the trip:

Bye Bye Binkie!

In celebration of turning the big 2-0 months this weekend, Lydia
agreed to give her pacifiers to the babies at school. Because, as
Daddy explained, binkies are a shared resource and the babies at
school really need them! The entire effort was weeks in the making,
with Lydia hoarding the binkies each night, packing them up on the big
day and then reluctantly giving them to Miss Danielle at school. Mommy
and Daddy are very proud of our "big girl" who hasn't forgotten about
the binkie but seems satisfied with her decision to share them with
the babies.

Princess and the Pea, Part 2

(Dad hasn't actually posted Princess and the Pea, Part 1, however we'll have to get on it now that there's an obvious sequel)

1. Horsing around at dinner...

 

2. With lightning quickness and uncanny precision, a pea is up the nose...

3. Second thoughts?...

...
(25 minutes of pea-extraction efforts and LOTS of screaming)
...

4. Focusing on the task at hand during make-up ice cream...

5. Pea incident a distant memory...

Boating

We drove down to Charlotte to see Jess and Nick this weekend. Mom and
Dad are always impressed by what a good little travel companion Lydia
is - even sticking to her nap routine out on the boat (life jacket and
all)!

After-School Reading

New Wheels

Out for a spin in her new wagon (thanks Grandma and Grandpa)!

Big Day

Lydia started "school" on Monday (at a Day Care center near Mommy and Daddy's work).  Her bird bag stuffed with the essentials: a lovey, a paci and an after-school snack, she was ready to head out into the real world!
