Last Sunday was gorgeous. We spent a few hours in the afternoon at a friend’s house celebrating their son’s 1st birthday party. They had baby pools setup and everything, which was great fun in the hot sun. You can view the album here.

They even had a wet t-shirt contest:

The album of our trip to Baltimore is up. I won’t go over everything; you can read more details here. Suffice it to say we had a very good time and Matt will probably win the highly coveted “Husband of the Year” award. A few highlights:

• Surprising Alison for her 30th birthday
• Going to One-Eyed Mike’s and joining their club
• Going to the “Poets & Pirates” concert and watching Big & Rich, Brooks & Dunn, and Kenny Chesney

A big thanks go to Nana for watching Libby while we had fun on the town!

I finally posted an album for Posey and Lawrence’s wedding. It was an amazing weekend, and Shannon and I had a really good time in Texas.

Enjoy!

I have posted an album from this past weekend’s celebration of Grandpa Bud’s 85th birthday. We visited the following:

• Submarine Force Museum: I loved exploring the Nautilus submarine and Libby loved running up and down the hallways
• Mystic Aquarium: Libby loved the beluga whales, sea lion show, and trying to touch the string rays
• Go-Fish: Tasty food (get the scallops!)

I’ve posted a smallish album of pictures from Libby’s 1st birthday party.

It felt like I took a lot more pictures that what I posted. Oh well, I do have a few videos that I will be posting over the next couple days.

I finally got around to posting an album for our trip to San Diego. In it you will see the following:

• Playing on the playground
• Hanging out with Libby’s cousins
• A trip to Disney World (including visiting several the princesses)
• Jackson’s karate class
• Avery’s “Gowns and Crowns” 3rd birthday party

Enjoy!

It was overcast and gross outside today, so we headed over to the zoo. Even though it was muddy all of the animals seemed to be enjoying this unseasonably warm weather we are having.

Libby lit up with excitement while watching the seals, giraffes, and tropical fish. But for most of the day she found it just as fascinating to watch the other kids that were there.

They have a neat interaction area where you can “pet” sharks - it was very cool. We didn’t get any pictures of my breath-taking shark-petting bravery, but I assure you it was impressive. Oh well.

Continuing my retrospective on last year I have posted an album of the “Best” of Libby for 2007.

Note that most of these images have NOT been posted before (so even if you read the Libby posts every day you will find new images in this album). Enjoy!

What better way to spend a birthday than playing games of bean-toss (aka “corn hole”) while drinking beer and hanging out with friends? That’s exactly how Sarah spent her 30th, and it was a fabulously relaxing evening.

It was really good to see everyone - in particular I must say that Heather was looking great! She is probably in labor right now (she went in last night to be induced), so keep her and Bob in your thoughts!

A special thanks to Steve for some great pictures of Libby!

This fourth of July was a lot of fun - we spent the evening with our good friends Helena, Nate, and their beautiful daughter Elin. It was so nice seeing fireworks and spending some relaxed time with friends and neighbors.

You may notice that the album format has changed slightly. It’s not perfect yet, but at least it’s a start toward something better. The links for “fullsize” images may not work yet because they are still uploading (about 1 gigabyte left).
