More time with Daddy

Leah in the living room with Matt. You can see Leah likes to go up to the table and mess with Matt's electronics. She is quite amused by her own bouts of misbehavior. She does the same thing at her grandparents' house. Ruth says Leah reminds her a lot of Lindsay.

When mommy's away...

everyone plays...

While I was at work Matt snapped a few pics of him and Leah together.

They have the same face with the same perfect smile :D


Leah being too silly.

There are times when Matt is a total kid. I love it.

Steve and Barry's had this money chamber thing. Not for much, and not real money. For every dollar you caught, you got a penny off at their store. So Matt went in it.

A lil fun before work

Before work we went out to breakfast. Matt took us to IHOP.

Here is Leah getting ready to leave. Definitely kissable!



Here is Matt feeding Leah some hashbrowns.

More than a month later

My apologies on the lack of updates. I did some updates prior to the May 24th entry. And then the computer was reformatted so I lost all of the entries I had ready to go. And on top of all that, because of my stupidity and forgetfulness my digital camera was run over by a zealous driver and his car. Bleh.

Leah will be a year soon. And I hope to continue with her lil website. I will be working on getting it up to date and hope to do so in the next day or so :D

Mom, Dad and Leah- Pool Time

Visiting Aunt Meg and the rest of the family

Today Leah went with Ruth, George and Lindsay out east to visit with Aunt Meg, Aunt Lois, Aunt DL, Jamie, Jodie, Autumn, Jonathan, and Aidan. They also went to visit Dustin while he gets better. I am sure I am missing some people on that list. Ruth took some pictures.

Daddy's Birthday

Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery & Aquarium

I worked at the Woodbury Starbucks this morning. Met this guy who is the son of one of Ruth's very good friends. Very nice guy. Got out around 2 so when Matt got there we spoke to Adam for a bit. Him and Matt caught up after not seeing each other in over 12 years.

Then we headed over to Cold Spring Harbor. We saw a ton of trout. Matt fed them. Leah slept through most of it until we got to the aquarium part. She liked looking at the fish.

It was an all around nice day.

Leah with Grandpa George

Leah is good at eating...

when it actually gets into her mouth :P

Leah downstairs

Leah went downstairs to play with Julia for a bit. Snapped this pic of Leah fully enjoying their toys and couch.

Leah on our sofa

On the train we go

Leah on the LIRR :D We went on the LIRR to Penn Station, then on the subway uptown to my mom's, all by ourselves. Leah was great every step of the way. She was completely in love with the train, the people watching. No doubt she is my daughter, thats for sure.

First Family Vacation :D

For our three year annivery Matt took us camping for a few days up in the Adirondacks this weekend. We left Friday morning, stopped in Albany and met up with Jon (a friend of both Matt and me) and then headed up towards the Lake George region. Oh and we stopped at SUNY Albany where I took a few pics of Leah at her daddy's old stomping grounds. Definitely gotta go back and visit Bombers with her, Mahars and Washington Park :D

The camping grounds we went to are run by SUNY Albany's Alumni Association. I have been visiting there for years. We had gone about 2 years ago and camped out in a tent for the weekend. But this time we got a cabin because of Leah.

Got there at about 5 in the evening. The cabin is a little less than 1/2 mile from the parking lot. We three everything in a cart, and I carried Leah while pulling my duffel bag. Not a bad walk. And immediately Leah was up watching everything, looking every where.

The cabin we got is called Twin Brooks. And as its namesake states it is by Twin Brooks. It has pump well water, no electricity and wood stove for heat and cooking. A table with chairs and two sets of bunkbeds. The cabins are set up with everything you'll need except for linens and food.

We spent the weekend there. Saturday and Sunday we spent some time in Lake George because the weather was a little too crappy for the hiking we had planned.

Here are some pics of our stay.

This is Leah at the Selden Rest Stop eating a french fry.

And here she is out side the Biology building at SUNY Albany.

Leah had her cute duckie dress on but when we got to the cabin we put her jeans on her. And what an adorable outfit that made. Love it! Gotta love how trendy she is :D

Matt just couldn't wait to get his hands on some firemaking so one of the first things he did when we got to the campsite is build a nice campfire.

Like at home Leah follows everyone into the kitchen, the cabin was no exception.

Matt took a few walks with Leah, this is a pic of him standing outside the kitchen window with her.

Here he is with Leah outside the cabin.

When we went into Lake George Village we sat in Shepard Park for a bit.

Matt pulling the cart back to the main parking site.

Some scenery pics.

Have to chop a lot of wood to stay warm at night and to cook. I can't chop wood to save my life. I think it would take me an hour just to get the damn maul over my head. Matt on the otherhand, well you can see for yourself.

Leah hanging out in the cabin the last day.

Daddy and Leah

On the way back we stopped at the Pallisades and then my dad's house.

Then home. We stopped by Ruth and George's, Leah hung out there while Matt and me went and unpacked.

When Matt came back from getting Leah he brought a nice apple pie and actually wrote Happy Anniversary on it :D
