Daddy Rocks...and I roll

Rolling over can be exhausting....do I go left or do I go right?!

That's how I roll

look what we can do now...

Wells Beach, Maine

Vanessa had her first beach weekend! We headed out to Wells, Maine to spend a great weekend with friends. Such a beautiful spot, right on the beach, we couldn't have asked for anything better. Great conversations, games, golf, lobster (!!), beach time...we did it all and loved every minute of it. Vanessa got to spend the weekend getting to know her friends Maddie and Richie, some day soon she'll be off and running with them. What a great way to "end" the summer!

...just had to post a pic from my weekend, I'm already counting down the days until next year!

Daddy time!

This weekend marked Vanessa's first weekend alone with Daddy! Mommy headed out to Portsmouth, NH for a fantastic (and much needed!) weekend away with the girls...a little spa service and a lot of girl talk mixed with a few cocktails.....hit the spot! I'm told that Daddy and Vanessa had lots of fun singing songs, talking and hanging out. My girl was of course careful not to let Daddy think she's all fun and games (check out photo #2), but she sure did let him know how much fun she can be! She's a lucky little girl with that Daddy of hers.

Smiles for Daddy

Is summer really over?

A few pics from our Labor Day weekend. The weather here in Saratoga was absolutely gorgeous...is summer really "over"???? Tia Susy came to visit and hang out with us. The town was mobbed all over since it was the last weekend of the track --- lot's of live bands around, which Vanessa managed to sleep through (yup...even the bagpiper!). We ended the weekend with a visit from Grandma V, Aunt Toria and Uncle Ryan and all had dinner outside at Baily's Cafe which included mommy's favorite dessert on their menu....S'MORES! Vanessa was eyeballing them...just wait till those teeth come in little girl and you get all kinds of goodies!!
