Sophia's Baptism
Sunday, June 27, 2010 was a special day! Sophia decided that she wanted to get baptized. It has been such a joy to witness her child-like faith and watch it grow over the past couple of years. I had the privlige of helping baptize her, along with our pastor, Bruce.
DMZ!
Bethany & Q came into town for a wedding and came a little early to spend some time with us. Kyle and Kim came over to hang out with us too. It was a bummer to not have all of the kids here this time - but still so much fun to hang out together. We miss doing this on a regular basis now that B&Q have moved to Minnesota!
hair-dos by Sophia :-)
Sophia taught Bethany how to hula-hoop!
ANTHONY!
We celebrated Anthony's 6th birthday Phillies style! He recently developed a strong love for the team and so it was fun to have this as his party theme.

silly band madness!

hilarious video of Gordy (almost 3 years old) singing to his cousin.
It is really hard to believe that Anthony is 6 already - I know every parent says this, but it really is so true that time just goes by too quickly! Anthony was in full time kindergarten this year - what a change for Jon and I to adapt to! He did so great and has emerged a very good reader and writer! Anthony still loves to play with cars, but his main love this year has become baseball!!! He and his buddy Jack (neighbor) play every chance they get! And light sabres are another favorite - actually anything Star Wars related. We watched the old Karate Kid movies this year and both kids loved them so much - we recently went to see the new one that just came out - they loved it too!
Anthony has such a sweet spirit - he has always been our snuggler love bug. I hope he doesn't outgrow that for a long time!!! He is such a great little brother to Sophia - he is usually very happy to follow in her footsteps, which is a great thing since it makes life much easier that they both don't want to lead!
Ahhhh, I love my little Nino! I wish I could keep him little longer!
G&G visit!
We had a great visit with Grandpa & Grandma! We went to Longwood Gardens and then to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate Anthony's birthday with them.
cool treehouses!
Italian water garden - my favorite!
First Phillies Game!
We took the kids to their first Phillies game! It was such a blast - perfect weather, perfect game (Phillies won 10-8) - - perfect family memory!
on the way to the game
tailgating (until the cop drove by and told us we weren't allowed...what?!)
on the way home from the game - so typical - he always sacks out and she never does!
Mother's Day in Maryland
We finally got to visit Jeremy & Erin at their new house in Maryland! Jon's parents were going down for a visit and rented a place a couple of miles away and invited us to join them for the weekend. It was fun to be together.
sleepover!! :-)
even though it was chilly, we had to take a quick trip to the boardwalk!
