Apple Picking!

Today we went with the Craft family to the Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery to pick some apples - it was a perfect 70 degrees. We found the Macintosh apples we were looking for and Josh fell in love with Mutsus. The place we went to, nestled in the Hudson Valley, had wine tasting, a bakery and live music playing outside at their restaurant...we opted to head back home and enjoy a bite on the Crafts' patio.

This was the first time Dagney has ever faced outward in her Bjorn carrier - she loved it.

The boys enjoyed their baby carrying responsibilities for the day. We got left toting around a bushel of apples...

but made the most of it!

Dagney loves her big girl stroller now. She got quite a few compliments and smiles from on-lookers.

Cole found snuggling against his Daddy much more interesting than picking apples.

Dagney took a cat nap on the way home. Notice the cute little sneaks?

She's a little ham now, isn't she?

Still loving those fingers.

Cole and his Mommy Janelle...he's 6 weeks old already!

Back to the Basics

As much as I was totally in love with the new blog look (borderline obsessive), I had quite a few complaints that it was difficult to read and (the worst) was that Dagney's godmother wasn't getting whole pictures shown on her computer -and we definitely can't have that. So I'm back to the old blog template with some different colors and maybe I'll try again some other time. After all, the blog isn't for us as much as it is for everyone we love to see the baby and what she, and we, are up to!

Daddy's Home!

Josh went to Long Island yesterday for the closure of his client's three month contract (which went quite well he tells me). In the meantime, Ohma spent the night, helping me with the baby and then spending the day with her. In preparation for Josh's return the baby had fun in the tub after rolling around on her blankie (she is quite the "roller" at this point...tummy to back and vice versa....rolling her way under the coffee table...I'll have to capture it on video for everyone).

Fresh and clean for my Daddy!

There's nothing like Daddy's strong arms and big smile! (mommy happens to agree)

This One's For You, Aunt Kara!

"Hey Dagney, want to jump in your jumperoo?"...

"Don't threaten me with a good time!!"

All Wrapped Up

Here's a cute pic of Dagney wrapped up in a blankie especially made for her by Josh's Great- Aunt Rene (well, Great-Aunt I believe...she is Josh's Dad's Aunt) in Minnesota. Correct me if I'm wrong Dad and Mel! Josh told me that he had a blankie from his Aunt Rene when he was little, and wore it out so that she had to make him another! She also made us a gorgeous quilt to commemorate our wedding day.

Jumpercize

Here's a cute clip of Dagney in the Jumperoo (and mommy clearly enjoying the show). We had another nice weekend together after the immunization drama...Dagney's back on schedule and has been in a great mood! We spent today watching the Vikes play while Dagney entertained us in the Jumperoo and I made a big pot of chili. Next weekend it's apple picking with our friends...we originally planned to go this weekend, but I wanted to make sure Dagney got lots of rest for the upcoming week.
