Yorktown Beach with Great Grandaddy and Joe

Daddy came to Yorktown beach a lot when he was real little, and I've come here a couple times myself. But this time...I came with Great Grandaddy and Joe...and Grandma Susu and Grandaddy....and mommy and daddy. We had a great day! It was somehow still warm, and it was sunny...and the sand was squishy. I had fun in the sand...and fun in Great Grandaddy's lap hangin out.

And Great Joe knows how to make a kid smile too. He's awesome fun!

Mommy put me down in the sand to play, did I mention it was squishy? haha, fuuuuuuuuun

Grandma Susu even took me on a walk-about...let's roll Susu..."Take me to the River"...da da da, dant da

We had a lot of fun, but Great Grandaddy and I did have a serious chat. That's for sharing so much with me! I really appreciate knowing the things I do about my roots, and it was fun spending time with you and Joe too!

Grandmom and Pa's, a halloween preview

Grandmom and Pa's was such fun, I'm glad we got to hang out while we were in town. I wish Daddy could have come along for this part, but he is getting into town tonight. Grandmom and Pa and mommy and me got to hang out a lot though. I had a lot of fun with them, and I got to try on my Halloween costume early...it's so awesome!!! Grandmom got it for me....I'm gonna be a horsey! Thanks Grandmom!!!!


Smile with me Pa! Mommy take the picture quick...I'm having a hard time getting my hands in to tickle Pa so that he keeps smiling. He knows what to do on the other side of the camera, but I need to teach him some of my modeling skills. C'mon Pa, think cute! Haha, quick mommy...

Heading off to Smithfield

Ok, here we go...off to see Great Gran and my Smithfield clan. I had a awesome time hanging out with everyone. Gran and I had a chance to play and goof around...she was fun.

And I also got to go to Aunt Liz and Uncle Will's house. I saw Great Aunt Nannie and Great Uncle Dick....and of course me and my cuz Livvy hung out. She is so awesome, she showed me how to play with all her toys and and had a blast together.

Livvy didn't let me down, she shared and played with me a lot. She is so cool!

7 months - no holding me back!

C YA! ...ok, I'm almost mobile. It won't be long now mommy and daddy, and then you'll have to keep up with me instead of keeping me up. Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot....haha, I can do this...I know I can...and did this all the way down the hall the other day with mommy holding my hands. Who wants to crawl....I think I'll just keep working on the walking thing. Yeah!

Cape May, NJ...down..um, up, on the farm!

Nope, not Camden, NJ....it's Camden....in NJ! Wahoo!

Look at me, up North on the farm at with the Gibson family. I went up to celebrate cousin Jon and Becca's birthdays....and see the whole family since it's been a while. Sooooo, it was awesome! We did so much!

I got to go around and check out the garden, and....

....and I got see DUCKS!!! AND...CHICKENS!!! COOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!

AND....Aunt Julie got to see my poopie diaper....not so cool for her...but THANKS!

But I also got to see the water on our walk down to the seawall. Ok, so I fell asleep for part of this one....but I had such a smooth ride with my cousins pushing me right along. It was a nice ride! And, a nice trip! Can't wait to go back to NJ and change how people think about the name Camden.....cuz I rock!

Playing with Ryan (world traveler extraordinaire)

Hey buddy...welcome back to the states. My mommy and daddy say the USA is a great place to grow up and we're all glad you, Auntie Susan, and Uncie Steve are back here in the States. Now I know you'll be hanging in the hotness of Arizona, but you can come back and play anytime! And, I know daddy and mommy would love to see more of you guys.
