Cousins Dinner!

Another non-planned event!  We invited Cioci Kimmy, Uncle Jason and the girls over along with Auntie Lauren, Uncle Matt and Molly for a chicken wing feast!  We figured it was the last weekend of summer before school started so why not get the cousins together for a fun dinner and playdate!

Yummy dinner!

Jason isn't too thrilled about this picture, but it's the only picture I have of Molly eating!

Maddie and Chloe playing.

Cioci Kimmy brought big cookies for the kiddos.. I'd like to 
think they're excited about them perhaps?!

Reading time.

4B Fest

Michael and I, along with Lauren and Matt and Michael's co-worker Josh and his fiance, Kim all met up with another of Michael's co-workers, Scott and his wife, Terri for an evening at the First Annual 4B Fest in New Haven.  What is the 4B Fest, you ask?  Only the coolest festival consisting of beers, bacon, bourbon and barbeque!  We had high expectations of the fest and they weren't exactly meet all the way, but we had great company so it was a fun night all around!  Michael participated in a bacon eating contest - his favorite thing in the world and we came home with a couple dozen cupcakes that were adorned with bacon.  I'd say it was a win-win all around!

Aquarium Fun

We were planning on having a quiet day at home today, but then Auntie Lauren and I started texting each other and she asked us if we wanted to join her and the fam at Mystic Aquarium for the afternoon.  It's been a while since we've gone out as a family and with the artic weather subsiding for the day (it was a warm 45 degrees out today!) we decided we would give it a shot and go! Yay for spontaneity!  We also decided to buy a season pass since it paid for itself if we went more than twice this season... so now we have another reason to go this coming year!!

While I was back in the van nursing Chloe, everyone went to the white beluga whales exhibit.  And once I joined in, we were all looking at the fishies, jellyfish, seahorses, sharks and eels inside the main gallery.  Then it was off the penguins, the sting rays, a short 4D fill about some artic animals including polar bears and penguins and then the sea lion show!  Chloe stayed awake for almost every exhibit today and AJ was super excited to see all the cool fish and penguins.. he LOVED the penguins!!

We finished our day with a nice lunch at Friendly's... well, I should say Michael had a nice lunch at Friendly's with the whole gang.  I had to go back out to the car to nurse Chloe and AJ didn't want to leave my side so he was with me as well.  I didn't mind leaving the restaurant and having to nurse her...because I know soon enough she won't need me like she does now so I'm trying to cherish these times as much as I can!

Overall, it was a fun day with family!  We can't wait to go back!

Cool jellyfish

He loved these little ones...

Chloe's Baptism

Chloe's baptism was perfect!  Our normally fussy little girl slept through her entire baptism ceremony (even when Father Titoe baptized her with water!) and the after party at Papa Z's restaurant in Colchester was fantastic with lots of family and friends.  We couldn't have asked for a better day for our little girl!
