For Rowan, it's all about the firetruck. For play, he's either riding or servicing a fire engine, fighting a fire, rescuing someone, or working the ladder truck. Thank you local firefighters for satisfying the joy of experiencing it all!

Memme and Grandpa VisitSummer sun, hot days, cool meals, and fun times made for a wonderful week!
The day after shopping Ballston Spa we headed to Strawberry Picking at Ariel's Farm
Then, a day trip to the Lake House for grilling, swimming, and playing.
After dinner in Saratoga, it was the Ballston Spa Fun Day where Evangeline found the sand and Rowan found the water (that's him in the background)!
Plus,Grandpa was very busy in the basement, we churned some homemade ice cream and there was even some extra time to measure Evangeline for a new dress. But, more on the dress later.
We love you Memme and Grandpa!Saturday, June 26, 2010

We inherited rhubarb when we moved into Greenwood Drive. Harvesting the rhubarb is one of my favorite activities to do with Rowan. He points to the stalks he thinks are ready (big) and I cut them. Then, he piles them and carries them to house. We clean and then bake the rhubarb into deserts and crumbles but it also makes very good jams and chutney recipes. I haven't been able to capture the finished product on film since it seems to be gone in seconds! We had the pleasure of enjoying our last cuttings this past weekend with visiting friends. It certainly says, Welcome to our Home!

Memorial Weekend 2010: a picture perfect weekend at the lake house!
Evangeline was a rocking bathing beauty and makes this vintage play pen look good!
Alan casts the line but Rowan gets all the glory! 
Sunglasses were a must this weekend with the awesome weather. Here, even Pete made the pic!
Here you can catch a behind the scenes look at the dock through Alan's sunglasses in this serene backdrop.

Road Trip to Virginia
The Jr. Rudnicks where on a mission; Make it to Virginia for Julie's wedding and see Alan's family while traveling there and back in one piece (mentally and physically).
Thank you minivan for your sacrifice of being climbed all over, snacked in, and slept in.
Thank you Memme and Grandpa for taking such good care of Rowan and Evangeline.
Mission Accomplished.

First Road Trips to NJ
Back and forth to New Jersey isn't really a first but doing it twice, within weeks, with the kids (and a potty), solo, was a first. Rowan had his first chance at a big kids swing and he drove his first tractor (see previous post).
Evangeline started crawling first in the family room at Lolly and Pops and loved the constant theater of watching everything happen around her!

Catching up to the Rudnick Two
April proved to be a month of firsts including the first time I only posted once all month.
Evangeline is 9months, with a healthy report of 19.2lbs and 28 1/4". She waves, claps, is "so Big!", crawls, pulls up and kinda cruises. She thinks she can climb stairs too and overall she is very proud of herself.
Rowan is 2 1/2 today, with a healthy report of 32lbs and 37". He climbs, jumps, digs, runs, throws, plays pretend, and tries to keep Evangeline from knocking over his play. He loves firetrucks, tractors, and all things that can be found in a shed. He's also quite fond of wearing helmets,....safety first!
This is the only picture, action shot, I could find of the two of the children together in one frame.
