Vacation in Florida Part 1

We had a wonderful trip to Kissimmee, Florida for a little family vacation. We stayed at a vacation house with four bedrooms, a pool and all the room a little girl needs to run around. It was right around the time of Daddy's birthday, so we had to celebrate, of course!

TV STAR!

Little Therese was picked out as a TV star at the park this week. This video was on the local news today...

Our Star

Florida Trip with Aunt Judy

T has been our little jetsetter again. This time she went to visit Aunt Judy in Florida and had such a fun time. Thank you Aunt Judy!!!

Therese playing soccer

It was just a matter of time!

Hoppy Easter!

T has been walking and talking and keeping us very busy. She is talking a bit, saying "Daddy", "Pup pup" (for the dogs), and recognizing bananas and asking for one at every meal.

Easter was lots of fun. We enjoyed seeing so many cousins and catching up. We were also present for Baby Asha's baptism, which was very special! Thank you for all the fun gifts for our little girl!

New Shoes!

Marmy took Therese to get her first pair of walking shoes. We visited the local shoe store. Therese was very good when he was sizing her feet. Thank you, Marmy! She even got her first balloon. She liked her shoes so much that she's been playing with them at home, placing them carefully in the dishwasher basket....

Steak and Shake

Therese had her first Steak and Shake with Auntie Abby. She liked the fries and the chocolate shake. But the steakburger? Not so much....

Playtime with Daddy

Lots of fun with Daddy; watching football (soccer), playing in the fort and playing with the puppies...

Skype Calls

Every other weekend, the Princess graces her presence with the family Across the Pond. T really looks forward to talking to her relatives and telling them all about what's been going on...

Fun to Be One!!!

The birthday girl had so much to celebrate! One whole year! She was very busy hosting her fans and enjoyed her first chocolate cupcake. She received many sweet gifts; books, a popper from Marmy and Grandpa R, a lion from Nana and Granddad B, a talking octopus from Auntie Carrie and Uncle Emre, pretty clothes from Auntie Abby and Uncle EJ, and a special apple corer and clothes from her Auntie Ellen and Uncle Mike.

Christmas in England: London, Part Two

Therese had a beautiful Naming Ceremony, led by Auntie Heather. Therese is named after her Godmother, Ellen Theresa, and St. Therese. She is also named Rose after her maternal grandmother and greatgrandmother. It was a lovely ceremony with a beautiful cake, ordered by Nana B. Great Grandma B. hosted this lovely event and we were so happy that Auntie Ruth attended. Therese was blessed with water from Lourdes and is watched by her Godmother Ellen and Godfather Pete. She even wore her special Cherry Dress to celebrate!

Christmas in England: London Part One

Marmy and Grandpa R. then joined the party in London and we all had a marvelous time. We were able to visit Harrods in London and see an incredible show, Wicked! Lots of fun time in the hotel pub, visiting with everyone!

Christmas in England: Part Three

We enjoyed exploring the Lake District before heading out to London. Lots of fun hiking around Kendal Castle and exploring the pubs!
