Dominican Republic
















What an adventure we had...two kids, one au pair and one set of grandparents all down at the Casa de Camp resort in the Dominican Republic...and we all survived!  The flight down was a little easier than the flight home.  But the time we spent down there on the beach was heaven.  The resort is amazing and we'd love to go back.  The boys loved the beach.  Charlie swam well with his swimmies on his arms and Cal loved chasing the birds and taking his daily nap under an umbrella right on the beach!  We rented a villa which was great for preparing meals for the kids and accommodating sleep schedules.  We even had our own maid who prepared breakfast and lunch!  We were very spoiled and the week passed by way too quickly.

Halloween





The boys thoroughly enjoyed their trick-or-treat experience in GrandMa and Pop's neighborhood.  They caught on to the concept right away and made out very well with candy.  Charlie was a fireman and Cal was a puppy dog.  We all had a ball!

Charlie's 3rd Birthday - All aboard!






The Saturday after Charlie's birthday, we celebrated with friends and family on an actual choo-choo train.  We went for a private ride from Ringoes to Flemington and enjoyed cake in between.  Thanks to all who helped make this day so special!


Charlie's 3rd Birthday - at home






It's hard to believe Charlie is 3 already.  This year, his birthday was on a Tuesday.  He celebrated with his classmates at school then back home with Mom, Dad, Cal and Cary.  He loved Mom's homemade cup cakes!













 
















Ryan Baptism




October 12 was a lovely day for Ryan's baptism.  Ryan was an angel during the whole event.  Our boys were at Katie's house napping but joined in the fun for the after party.

Welcome

So, I'm trying to find the best way to keep friends and family up to date with our family.  I have some friends who seem to have success with blogging...so here goes.  In lieu of posting on shutterfly, I'm going to post pics of the summer up until today.  Let's see how this goes...
