Nick and Katie's Wedding Weekend

This weekend was Nick and Katie's wedding in Newport! Some of our favorite pictures are below, or see all the photos here.

Here's the adorable B&B where we stayed.

On our way to breakfast, we spotted a little photo opp in front of the Grace hotel.

After breakfast, we had time for a some arcade.

Before lunch, CJ had to run some energy out.

On the way back to the hotel, we spotted the perfect pumpkin patch.

Later that evening, the wedding location was beautiful.

It was really windy. Don't we look color-coordinated?

The boys looked good too.

And here's a pic of the happy couple.

And the other happy couple!

Pumpkin Picking

We're getting ready for Halloween! Took CJ to the pumpkin patch today. He was more interested in the slide and the toys than the pumpkins. A few pictures are below, or check out all the pictures here.

Moo!

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Finally, the pumpkins!

Hurricane Irene

CJ (and all of us) experienced our first Hurricane this weekend. Somehow, CJ slept through it! The worst hit between 11pm and 3am Saturday night. Here are a few pictures of the aftermath at our house after.

Our basement at 1am

Our basement the next morning. Not safe to enter for a better photo since the water was above the electrical sockets and we weren't sure we turned off the right breaker switch (which also happens to be in the door on the left in this photo). The carpet is actually floating. In total, we had about 18" of water.

Grandpa came to save the day!

Maine Summer Vacation

We went to Maine for our Summer vacation again this year. This was CJ's second visit! He seemed to enjoy it a lot more this time. He got to see Ma-G, his aunt Maggie and uncle Matt, uncle Peter, and Catherine and baby Luke. Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short to make the drive back before Hurricane Irene hit our house.

Here are some pictures from our trip, but to see ALL the pictures, click here.

First boat trip to get lobster (which CJ wouldn't try)

Lounging in the sun

CJ didn't seem to mind the cold water at all

This was just too cute


Boat trip to see the caves. CJ would have preferred to just stay on the beach and throw rocks.

He didn't like the hike much

Though he did like picking and eating wild raspberries


Of course, CJ did not want to go to bed...ever



Helping with the mussels




Picking more raspberries with baby Luke and Catherine



CJ showing baby Luke how to chill


Anything goes in Maine (not to worry, we were really only driving next door)


CJ already knows how to be in control of the tunes


CJ loved tennis! Mom, dad and Catherine actually got hours of playing time in

CJ even helped watch baby Luke while his mom played tennis


More boat pics




At the Marina, CJ had applesauce and cheese instead of lobster! And everyone's potato chips of course!


This is CJ's "cheese" smile. He's actually saying cheese!
