We've had a busy, non-stop two months since Sebastian arrived, and here are the photos to prove it! Nonno and Nonna came to visit and meet our little man. Here are the boys!
Even at three weeks, Sebastian visited Sammy and Brie at art camp to see their beautiful creations.
And there he is snoozing in the background while we dined on Montgomery Inn ribs!
The big kids had fun showing the grandparents just how you hold a baby...
And how you talk to one...
and snuggle with one!
Sebastian's been growing leaps and bounds. Just look at those chubby arms!
And it's been very fun to incorporate him in all of our favorite activities...
Luckily, Mr. Popular LOVES all of the attention!
And doesn't mind me taking a thousand photos of him!
Last month,
Brie turned four, and we had a very fun birthday party at our home! This photo was taken about ten minutes before the party started. Five minutes later, the skies opened up! :-(
Luckily, four-year-olds don't care where parties are as long as they have friends, toys and cupcakes! Here are Brie and Aidan enjoying some tasty treats!
Can you tell that Brie and Brenna had a good time with Baby Baby and Baby Dora?
Sebastian's arrival ensured that our summer would be wonderful--and we capped it all off with a road trip to Virginia Beach! Here's a pic of all three of our kids asleep in the car. Sorry you can't see Sebastian, but we're all about abiding by the law.
Sebastian found his first visit to the beach to be very relaxing...
Sammy caught mole crabs...
Brie and Nonna built sandcastles...
The kids played with Auntie B...
battled the waves...
raced to see who's the fastest...
and goofed around with Granddaddy Rob.
We also made the most of some pool time. Can you guess what Sammy loves to do most at the pool??
And the kids had their first official golf lesson! Here are Sammy and Granddaddy Rob...
and Gammy and Brie!
Brie worked on her form...
and so did Sam. A little Happy Gilmore, anyone??
One highlight of our trip was seeing our good friend Steve, his wife Amy and their super cute kids Drew and Ellie. They live in Austin, Texas, but were in Virginia Beach for vacation. (Steve and I have been friends since high school.)
Here are Sammy and Drew playing together...
and Brie excited to spend time with Baby Ellie.
How else did we pass the time? Well, considering the weather was sunny and hardly "August hot," we enjoyed time out on the deck...
hung out with
old friends...and prepared for Brie's family birthday party!
The Cupcake Crew!
Ready for a birthday party!
Playtime with Cousin Colin!
Snuggles with Uncle Ben!
Cousin Alyssa with Brie the birthday princess...
Happy 4th Birthday, Brie!
The cupcakes were delicious!
We had a wonderful 9 days in Virginia Beach--here's Sebastian modeling his best beachwear--and then headed home for Cincinnati! Gammy came along for our ride home, which was lots of fun!
And then earlier this week, Sammy and Brie went back to school! Sammy began kindergarten and Brie started pre-K. Oh, and Sebastian turned 2 months old! What a wonderful way to wrap up a memorable and exciting summer!
