Meemee and Grampy's 35th anniversary party

Meemee and Grampy celebrated their 35th anniversary this year! They thought we forgot about this monumental occasion--but not so! We actually planned a big family surprise party for them at Totem Pole this past weekend....and boy, did we surprise them! Anna spent the week leading up to the party with Meemee and Grampy at Totem Pole. She had a blast with them--going to the playground, making bubbles, eating ice cream galore!

Wait, who's pulling in our driveway? What's going on???

Happy Anniversary! 35 Years of Happiness

Pocasset 2009

Once again this year, we had a blast in Pocasset. We've rented the same house four years in a row. It's just big enough and comfy enough for us to feel like we don't have to tiptoe around. We are definitely comfortable there.

Anna gets french braids for the first time. She sat so still for her godmother, Erin.

Mom's 30th Birthday-4th of July

We celebrated the 4th of July in NH, as tradition goes. Started off at Totem Pole, then headed to Gorham to have dinner and watch fireworks. I think it was quite possibly the coldest birthday I've ever had. Check out my Nana in her winter jacket!

Grampy shows Anna her new bike at Totem Pole--too bad she can't reach the pedals yet!

4th of July, or Columbus Day?

Because she's cute...

This posting isn't to document any particular event or occasion. It's just because my Anna's so damn cute! If I may gush for a minute and be the proud parent...she astonishes us each day with the things she learns! She's growing into such a lovely little gal.
