My cousins and Mimi!

This is just a nice picture of when my California cousins came to visit. We all had a blast with the thunderstorms that night, and miss them terribly every time they go home! Soon, we'll have to go on a trip to visit everyone (including Auntie Lauren) out there.

First day at the beach!

For those of you not in NJ, this summer has been terrible! It rained for 23 days in June, adding up to 9 inches of rainfall (compared to our usual 3 inches). So, needless to say, we didn't get to the beach until well after 4th of July. However, we finally made it, and this is Leah's first day on Point Pleasant beach. Since then, she's been do the beach about 3 or 4 times. Though, initially she was pretty scared of the sound of the waves, she now is quite relaxed about it. It seems she really likes to watch the other kids go screaming up the shore when the waves come in. Since she really does enjoy being outdoors, she was able to take a nice long nap and relax in the sand!

this one is cute too!

Sears!

So, we went to get another set of portraits (because we can), and now at 7 months, Leah is finally sitting up on her own. This is one of her better shots - and we're doing all we can to not spend a fortune on these pics. Let me tell you, they really know how to guilt you into buying pictures of your kid!
