Our Little Dinosaur

Aren't these pictures so adorable? This dinosaur costume was Aimee's but it never fit Katie, Robby or Nolan. I don't think it will fit Michael by the time Halloween is here, so last night we put him in it just for fun!! Clover was so excited she kept trying to kiss Michael.

More Beach Pictures

Beach Baby

This past weekend we took Michael to Ocean City, New Jersey for his first trip to the beach. We went to see MiMi and Pop's new beach house. It is beautiful.

We had a wonderful time with the baby. We took him to the beach for a few minutes the first morning and dipped his toes in the ocean. Of course, we also went to Mack & Manco's both days for lunch. The weather was beautiful and the boardwalk was so much fun.

We are so thrilled that Michael will be able to enjoy many trips to the beach with the Mabin family. We are looking forward to many happy memories in Ocean City!!

First Place

Today, Mike entered the corvette in a car show for the first time. It was at Northhampton Days so Mom, Aimee, Katie, Robby, Michael and I went to visit. He is such a car nut!!

My sweet little baby took a nap in his crib for the first time today. He is growing so fast...i know someday soon he will no longer be able to sleep in his bassinet..it makes me sad to think about it!! I love having him next to me at night.

Marilyn Monroe

September 6, 2007

I spent the morning with Katie and Robby on Katie's third day of school. It was so much fun...I got to set Katie's hair for school! It brought back many memories of Mom setting my hair for important events in my life. I left the curlers in for an extra long time so her hair would be extra curly!! When Aimee got home she siad she looked like Marilyn Monroe! Here are some pictures of the kids....Katie is such a beauty!!

Michael and Robby

Today, Robby, Michael and I spent the morning together. Robby is just so darn cute and sweet!! It is so amazing how caring and sweet Robby is with Nolan and Michael. He is always kissing Michael and wanting to hold him. I am so happy that Michael will have Katie and Robby to look up to. They are both so wonderful! Here are some cute shots of the boys.
