Family, Friends, and Baseball!!!

What more could you want in a weekend than family, friends and baseball?  On June 9th NanNan and PopPop came to visit and brought back some wonderful gifts from their cruise of the Mediterrainean. Kelsey loved watching PopPop play with her Pinocchio puppet from Pisa and wearing her new dress from Greece.  Whitey and Krista then came to visit and went to Kelsey's first professional baseball game, which happened to be the Phillies playing the Orioles. It was 95 degrees outside, but Kelsey was a trooper and had a great time.  We met up with Cousin Rob where he was disappointed to see the Orioles win. 

 PopPop never gives up an opportunity to read to Kelsey.  It was such a beautiful morning we spent it outside playing and of course Kelsey got NanNan to take her to the swing.

Kelsey made two best friends this weekend.  Thanks Krista and Whitey for playing dolls and blocks!

 Gotta eat snacks during the game.  I couldn't tell you how many times we refilled the sippy cup to keep her hydrated.  We were thrilled for how well she behaved.  It's probably because it was sooo hot. 

 Everyone had their turn to take a picture with Kelsey at the game. 

A Phillies family at Camden Yards!

Watkins Park

Grandpa and Shirley went to Watkins Park where Kelsey got to ride a carousel for the first time on June 6th.  She also got to sport her new t-shirt from the library in the outfit Grandpa picked out.  Thanks for the shirt which she can grow into for years Grandpa! 

Jack Jack's Birthday

Kelsey and I had a fun time visiting friends at Trinity for my Godmother Linda's retirement reception and then it was off to Jack Jack's first birthday party on June 3rd.  Daddy was off editing his fabulous movie for the 48 hour film fest. 














I was thrilled to see my good friend Isabelle who I worked with at Concordia's Summer Camp with many years ago.  Her daughter Vanessa became best friends with Kelsey. Even Grandpa got some girl time.

 The three older ones are the wonderful Pratico kids who watched growing up, and now they are holding my little one.  Mark met Ryan, on the left, when Ryan was about Kelsey's age. 

 Kelsey loves her bubbles!  I need to look into getting one of these bubble machines, she just loved it!!!!

 Yummy cake!

Happy 1st Birthday Jack Jack!  Thanks for inviting us to your party!!!

Memorial Day

We went to the Shaeffer's pool for Memorial Day. Kelsey loved the water and can't wait to go back! 

More NC Fun!

We spent the whole day outside when in NC.  Shawn has put together swingset fun in their front yard.  He even added a slide from the neighbors to the swingset.  The kids had a blast playing out there all day.  Even the adults got to have some fun!



Would you believe this is the only picture we got of the three of them all weekend?  We'll work on it more next time.

Kristen's Baptism

Over Memorial Day weekend we got to go down to NC for Kristen's baptism.  We had a wonderful time with our family and Uncle Shawn's parents. 

Baby Stroller

For Christmas NanNan got Kelsey a baby stroller as a symbol for a bigger stroller we were to buy.  I got the baby stroller out on May 23rd and Kelsey just loved it. She is very much into her baby dolls and loves to have us "change their diapers" and takes them everywhere.  Now she pushes them around in the stroller.  Thanks NanNan!
