Loving the slide!

Alana has had a great summer so far. We can't believe it is almost over! She has been very busy lately going to the beach and playing at the park with mom and dad. She had a great time with her cousin Bridget last week. They both loved the park but were more interested in Bridget's cup than most of the toys for them to play on.

Weekend Fun!

Alana had a very busy weekend. On saturday she went to the beach w/mom and dad and ran all over the place. Sunday she got to see all her aunts and uncles and played all day w/her cousin amelia. We went out to dinner to celebrate mimi's retirement and both girls were the hit dancing to the live band they had at the restaurant.

Hanging out w/aunt Cathy

Alana had a lot of fun the last week. Last week we had a special visit from Aunt Cathy and Uncle Paul from Pittsburgh. Alana loved playing with them and loved saying both of their names. Over the weekend Alana spent time at the beach. She went in the ocean for the 1st time w/daddy on Saturday and loved it, especially the taste of salt water. On Sunday Uncle Michael and Aunt Kat came to the beach and no one was happier than mommy and daddy b/c Alana wanted nothing to do with us since there were new people to entertain her. She had fun collecting rocks and shells with her new beach buddies.
