Vacation Land

We went on our first big road trip this summer. We packed up the car and headed to Maine for a week to visit with my extended family. The weather was really nice the first couple of days, but then it rained the rest of the week and was rather cold! I had to buy Nate a pair of jeans for I didn't pack enough cold weather gear! I didn't even have a long sleeve shirt for myself, so I had to borrow one from my cousin! There are too many pictures to post on here, so I'll attempt to make an album and post the link. I'll put a few teaser on here though.



On our way up to ME, we stopped off in Massachusets to visit Mike's grandparents, Nana and Pa. It was a nice break in the trip, and Nate got to hang out with not only Nana and Pa, but with Uncle Bill and Aunt Sue as well.

Here are some pictures from our vacation! Nate playing with bubbles...

Nate got to play around in some antique cars at Shelley and Gene's place!

Nate's first run in with a cooked lobster.... I forgot to say that when Nate first saw the lobster he said "Big Bug!" it was priceless......

I'll try to post the album soon!

Long time coming!

This week has been really busy as we arrived home from our vacation on Sunday evening and have spent the better part of this week catching up from last week, and also preparing for my graduation party on Saturday!


Here is the first of several posts. I wanted to share with you my latest cake creation for a baby shower... I wasn't able to make the shower for we were leaving for Maine on that day, but I managed to whip out the cake on Thursday before we left! For those of you who didn't know, cake decorating is a hobby of mine....



More posts to come later!
