A Day Out with Thomas

Most little girls love to play house and with dolls but our little Cate LOVES thomas " the choo choo train ." So we just had to take her to see Thomas.



Catelynn also had her first ride on a school bus and it was honestly hard to tell what she liked better - Thomas or the ride on the school bus.



She couldn't believe her eyes when she looked around at all the model trains that moved on their own - no pushing necessary!






Soon it was on to the highlight of the day - a ride on the Thomas train!



Catelynn was positively giddy with excitement when the train started to move.

Looking at this picture I'm not sure who was more excited to meet Sir Toppham Hatt, catelynn or Ken !

Portraits in the Park

One of, if not the most beautiful parks in Connecticut is Harkness Memorial park. It's almost 2 hours from our house but definitely worth the ride. After another photo shoot I attempted to get some nice portraits of Catelynn. With so many gardens and puddles in the park Catelynn wanted to do anything but pose for mom. With a little perseverance I did manage to sneak in a few good shots :)



The Outtakes


Those of you who know Catelynn well know that these are definitely a better reflection of her " spunky " personality.

If there is water around Catelynn is sure to find it!

Beautiful in Red, White and Blue


Happy Fourth of July!


This year we decided we should make a better showing at the annual Push and Pull Parade. We pulled out all the stops to decorate our wagon. Catelynn couldn't wait to climbed in and LOVED being pulled in style.







July 4th is also mom's 27th anniversary of arriving in the United States. We ccouldn't believe the party they threw for our arrival!



Dad had his hands full keeping track of Catelynn at the end of the parade, making sure she didn't go for a swim in the pond!

July 4th Fun!

After the parade we heading back to the house so Catelynn could escape the heat in her pool. Today was a day of firsts. She had watermelon for the first time.



Then Daddy helped her ride her tricycle. It didn't take her long to figure out that it was less work if daddy peddled!
