Good Night, Irene!!

well, we made it through the hurricane virtually unscathed. our little dogwood got pummeled but mommy and daddy did their best to save it.








i really liked watching the rain and wind from our living room window.




unfortunately, irene forced us to postpone our AWESOME FAMILY BEACH PICTURE THAT DADDY WAS TOOOOTALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO. oh well, maybe next year......or the year after that....or the year.......you get the idea.

Happy Dave's Day, Daddy!!

so.....ya know.....every year, famous dave's barbecue has "dave's day" where anyone with the first name of david, dave, davey......you get the idea......gets a free entree. well, dave's day was this past sunday and every year is like a second christmas to my dad. he LOVES dave's day. look how he is just glowing and basking in the gloriousness that is dave's day.



yes, that is a name tag that says, "My Name is.....Dave!" as if there is a need to remind everyone in the joint that you came out for a free meal but paid for all your beer. gotta love my daddy!!

Thank You, Ikea!!

mommy and daddy did some work in the family room (basement) last weekend.

Should I Hire an Agent??

when patti, who works the dairy aisle at safeway, mentions to your daddy how cute you looked on the front page of the newspaper, you know you've really made it. i keep waiting for TMZ to set up camp outside of daycare.

i hope everyone is having a great summer. can't wait to see my entire new jersey family in a few weeks.
