Big Wheels Baby!
Kyle, Aunt Robin, Rowan, Tyler, Connor, & "Alan"
(Tyler seems to have dropped Uncle)

Our fun outing last weekend was visiting a fall festival with Adam, Stacy, and Kara (3 months) outside Annapolis - we said it was for the kids but really,..will they remember this? Here's to the cuteness factor!

We are all enjoying a beautiful fall together - Rowan loves to go "Ou's" (Outside), to walk the sidewalks and make his way to the park, and he stands at the door watching the world go by - he also plays around the house with all his favorite toys but mostly just Mommy and Daddy's things. Rowan's daily excitements: going up and down stairs, seeing Daddy and giving him a hug, dropping things to say "Uh-Oh", and roaring like a lion and panting like a dog.

The season of Hood Lacrosse fall ball has ended (with wins!) and with the evidence that Rowan wanted to head to practice with Daddy we can confirm that there is Lacrosse in his blood. If Lacrosse equipment is out you can bet Rowan's got a hold of the stick and won't put it down. He's working on ground balls and face-off's and making good progress. The question remains - defense or attack?

Rowan goes on his first airplane ride!

Rowan is into everything now-a-days (seen below) - he's even into trouble with the police. Three friendly police officers were at the door tonight - responding to a 911 call made from this residence - no more phone for Rowan!

Night-night time for Rowan.

Rowan (10 months old) & Ridge (2.5 years old)

Oh, a boy and his dog!

We were fortunate not only to spend Lake time with the Capuano's and Le's but also with the Sr. Rudnick's (we're the Jr. Rudnick's). Memme and Grandpa jumped right into the family fun!

Lake George Village for Ice Cream

Cousin Time at the Lake! Reese (3.5years) & Ellis (17months)
Pajama Time - Here's a little game Reese likes to play with Rowan,.....the toys are in the green hassock.

Bath Time - No tub at the lake house, no problem!
"Ellis, say 'Cheese'" --- "Eeeee"Reese is our big swimmer and he's got the gear to prove it. This year Reese added taking running leaps off the dock to his repertoire.

Everyone enjoys Uncle Alan's kyack!

Our camera is back in order! It'll be hard to capture on the blog all the summer fun we've had over the last month but this week I hope to post bits and pieces and try my best!

Lake George: Handsome boy turned 9 months on vacation. Rowan loves the boat but could do without the life vest. We cruised the shores and headed to Paradise Bay and Log Bay.
Daddy and Rowan climbed and crawled and played away! Hammock time is a family favorite.
It was great to have time together! Here, we've just finished shopping at Bolton Landing and are headed back to Echo Bay by boat.

We've returned from a glorious 3 week vacation at our family house, Camp Blessings, on Lake George. Although our photo's are still "on vacation" here is pic of us outside Lakeside Chapel. Alan preaches here one Sunday each summer. There is nothing like spreading the Good Word and hitting the wakeboard after!
We are also excited to soon share pictures and video of Rowan crawling, cruising, and standing on his own!
