Nana and Da Visit in July

Da, Theo, and Nana resting on the porch at the old house.  Huge thank you to Nana and Da for the incredible work that they did re-plastering and painting the 80 year old walls in our new home and otherwise getting the house in shape for us to move in on schedule at the end of July.  Thank you also to Uncle Cameron who came up three times this summer to help with painting.  We couldn't have done it without all your help.  We didn't get as many pictures as usual during these visits because everyone was so busy working hard.

Photo Session

Here are our failed attempts at an appropriate picture for Theo's first passport.

Hikes

Theo became obsessed with nutcrackers last week so we went to the library and got this book.  He was very pleased.

He looks very cute in his new Clifford cap.

We told Theo that we were going for a hike today in "Sleeping Giant Park" and a few minutes later he said "when Theo go to Sleeping Huge Park?"

Here's the castle at the top of the mountain.

From the top, we could see all the way across the sound to Long Island.
