17 months and vacation in NJ

As you can tell, it's getting harder and harder to get Molly to sit still for her monthly pics. We took the one with my dad and Marty the following day on Father's Day at my parent's house. Those came out much better...


We just had a great week spending time with our family in NJ. We started out in Cape May Point (thanks Pattons!) and had a great 4th of July with Liz, Bill, James and family. Cape May Point is a beautiful place and so relaxing. It's like a step back in time with the 4th of July bike parade and wandering over to the general store in town for breakfast, watching fireworks on the beach and relaxing days at the shore.










Then we went to Lakewood to visit Marty's mom, (Molly's "Nan", thanks Helen!). Molly learned how to say Nan when we were there and wouldn't stop saying it the whole week. She kept cracking us up running around screaming, "nnnnnan!" Marty and I went to Point Pleasant which is about 20 minutes from Helen's house and took Molly to the boardwalk. She rode the train (loved) and the kiddie elephant ride (not a fan).

Next we drove to Morristown to visit the Edwards (thanks Terry, Pete, Will, Ben, Tess and Powder). They have a great pool and it makes you feel like you're really on vacation in their backyard. Molly LOOOOVED her cousins and the pool and it was a great few days of swimming, relaxing and eating yummy NJ food (pizza, bagels and an awesome seafood dinner the last night courtesy of Pete). Molly really started talking more, trying to say Tess, ("Te", "Te") and she would fall into a deep sleep at night between us.

Now it's back to work tomorrow for another few weeks. I have decided to be a stay at home mom come August, but will still be working part time at the same place (probably from home) when they need me to transition the new person.
