Catch up with News

Yep, it's catch up time again. I know I fell behind with all the activities that have gone on in June. So read some of the other posts to get caught up on my adventures.

It was a great month with fun times. The Calders came back from Germany for a visit and we did lots of things together. Unfortunately, I also got both a stomach bug then a bad cold during the end of the visit. Now that I have shared the cold with both my Mommies and we've all spent a week coughing and such, I think we are on the mend.

I'm going to be a BIG SISTER. Mommy is having twins, so I have twice the work as a big sister. I'm very excited about the babies and can't wait for them to join the family. I promise to rock them and sing to them and to give them milk when they come out of Mommy's tummy. In the meantime, I end up going to a lot of Mommy's doctor appointments with her, I've even seen the babies, Alfalfa and Brussel sprout, dance on while they were getting their picture taken at an ultrasound. Mommy seams to be a bit tired and quite queasy, but other than that still spends plenty of time playing with me.

We all have colds now

We are back home in PA and I have managed to give the creepy crud to both my Mommies. We are all sick and just trying to make it through one day at a time. Yucky. The Calders left on Monday to go to VA Beach. I hope they got out in time. I would hate for them to take the creepy crud with them.

Rocky Beach

Today I got to see the cottage and enjoy the fun times on the rocky beach. We started out the day making sure our buckets worked. Then we did some crabbing. I think I heard Peter say he caught (and released) 66 crabs. Then we walked a bit to climb out on the rocks and take some photos. Then back to the cottage for some yummy lunch and to play in the yard. After a nap back at the hotel, we went played around the hotel yard and pool. We even ate dinner out by the pool too. I'm starting to feel better from the stomach bug, only to start sniffling. Ugh!

Old Saybrook

Another spot where I got to hear a lot about Mommy being a little girl. We went to Old Saybrook, CT. Aunt Jac and Laurie made us a wonderful walking taco dinner on the beach. I had a great time playing in the sand too.

Here is Gramp, Josh and Aunt Danielle enjoying the sun, sea and sand.

Zoo day

Today Mommy and all her siblings set off to spend the morning at the Heart Study. While the rest of us enjoyed a fun morning at the zoo and riding a train. Then we all met up in CT for the next part of our road trip.

Road trip to Mass

Yesterday we started the road trip to MA. This is where my sickness started. I started the trip with a fever and the stomach bug. It wasn't much fun. But when I was feeling better, I liked being able to play games with Heather and Hugh. We had a fun game that involved an imaginary cell phone.

Today we had a burial service for my Great Grandparents. I never knew my Great Grandfather, but my Great Grandmother was pretty special so he must have been special too. We even took a tour of the house they lived in a long, long time ago. It was nice to see all these things and hear Mommy tell stories about when she was a little girl. Here is a group of us outside of 107 where the house is currently being repainted. Here is the headstone from the cemetery. It was a nice ceremony filled with heart warming memories.
After the service, we went to a nice restaurant where I enjoyed playing with many of my extended family. I was still under the weather, so I pretty much hung out with Mommy or Mama. I even managed a nap on Mama's lap.

We had a nice time despite the sad occasion. Wish I had been feeling better, there were lots of Burr cousins I would have loved playing with again.

Heather's Birthday

Yesterday we all needed to chill out, so we did some errands, made a birthday cake, and spent some time playing in the pool. Here we are hanging out together right before bed time. I love my cousins.

Here is the result of all the hard cake work. Mommy and Aunt Danielle did the pre-baking process. Uncle Greg and Aunt Danielle turned it into a Hula masterpiece. Heather was thrilled and most of all it tasted delicious.
Aunt Danielle and Baby Josh having a little bonding time together. Isn't he just the cutest. I like to hold him too, but I have to sit down on the couch to hold him.
We did lots of fun things at the party, but Mommy was in charge of the video, so she didn't get many still pictures. We played coconut bowling, limbo, opened presents, and even had a cool pinata. I had a great time playing with everyone too.

Josh's baptism

Yesterday we met Uncle John and Grandmum and Gramps house for a nice dinner together. Mommy and Uncle John went to the airport to pick up the Calders after their long flight from Germany. I really wanted to be there to pick them up, but they came in way past my bedtime. So I took Mama home and got everything ready for them there. This morning we woke up and had a little bit of time to play before going to P-burg for Josh's baptism celebrations. It also happened to be Father's day so we did a bunch of celebrating at the Miller's house with cake and kids and games and other fun things. I love visiting their house it has so many cool things to play with.

Here we are during the kids service before the dunking. Heather and I are in the back (Heather in pink). Here's the miller family shot during the service.

Great day with the Millers

We drove up to P-burg to spend the afternoon with the Millers. We had a great time. I had a great time chasing Jacob around the yard. The kiddie pool was set up and Jacob and Jill had a wonderful time playing in it. I thought it wasn't quite up to standards, so I opted to play on the slide and the swings.

There is a cute picture of Jill and I holding Uncle Jeff's snake, but Mommy has to collect it from Aunt Jenny's camera.

I've been busy helping Mommy get ready for the German invasion. I'm excited to see Heather and Hugh again ... I can't wait to show them my new apartment and the pool here. Mommy keeps warning me that we are going to have a busy week, with many things to do and many places to go. I'll just go with the flow, it's what I do best you know.
