Professional Pictures!

Okay we finally got our act together and got Jacob to a studio to take some pictures. He did pretty well considering it was nap time. The photos we ordered were not all doctored up like these. I messed around on the sears website and thought these looked cute!

Camping at Rollins Pond in the ADK!

I fell in love with Rollins Campground when my friend Robyn took me along on a family camping trip when I was 14. Most of the sites are right on the water so you can jump right in your canoe or kayak or take a swim anytime of the day. There are several lakes connected to Rollins which makes for great canoeing and lots of adventure. David and I have been camping here a couple of times and he has fallen in love with it too. It is so relaxing to be up there. Since we had not gone on vacation in awhile, we decided to make the trek up to Rollins and camp for a couple of days. Jacob did surprisingly well during the 5 plus hour cartrip. He loved being in the water, on the beach and pretty much everything else we did! We took a day trip to Lake Placid and spent a night in Saranac. Everywhere we went people gushed, poked and smiled at Jacob. The cashier at Mc Donalds gave him FREE ice cream! It was great to be back in the ADK!!!!

Fourth of July!!!

We drove down to Ithaca for the Fourth. We met up with some friends from high school and had a bbq. David went swimming in a creek by their apartment. The next day we went downtown and checked out the library and went to lunch. Here are some pictures.

Here are Robyn, Becky, Jacob and myself standing next to the swimming hole....Becky just got done swmimming :)

All Three of Us Downtown, we got to enjoy some sunshine after all the rain on the fourth. This picture shows off Jacobs newest trick...scrunching up his nose when he smiles...David thinks it is the cutest thing!!! Ithaca has a large, new library and David used the wireless connection while Jacob and I checked out the childrens area. We had lunch a mexican place near the library..it was very good.


This is Jacob on the bed of our safari themed room at the B&B. Our host, Wanda, has been in business for 20 years! We had a yummy breakfast of Blintzes and fresh fruit. There were plenty of friendly kitties for Jacob to pet, roosters, chickens and a large koi pond.

Daddy's Little Helper!

Now that Jacob is more mobile, he has been following us around and getting into whatever we are doing. David was changing the filter on the air unit the other day and Jacob decided that he needed to help! It was really cute so I snapped some pictures!




Jacob, David and I in the car the other day... Jacob's first time behind the wheel!
