When we were at Nonno’s, Daddy took the opportunity to order his favorite pizza from when he was younger – Deric seemed to love it too!

What a perfect way for Bradley to enjoy his first fireworks show – on Grandma Audrey’s lap.

One day Deric just seemed to have enough of his high chair and pretty much demanded to be seated at the table with us, so we attached a booster seat and here he is.

We celebrated the 4th, along with Brennan’s birthday, at Nonno’s house.

We went to our first strawberry picking festival where we always go to the pumpkin patch and had a great time.

Even Deric got in the action.

Bradley had a blast in the balloon jungle gym.

Deric held his own on the playground equipment – his look is so intense.

A little wave from our little man.  We didn’t get a picture of the big tunnel slide, but this is the first year that Bradley didn’t want Daddy to go down with him – it was like a punch in the gut, but I was really proud of him and cheered him on!

And finally, we were rewarded with fresh strawberry pancakes for brunch.  We’ll be back next year.

Everything going fine here.  Although Deric seems anxious to do something with his finger …

Hmm, wonder what happened to the computer??  Which one is the guilty party?

Uncle CJ’s computer continues to be a hit at our household.

Bradley taking a break from his nightly school activities to give Mommy a big hug.

We asked Deric to try to say Daddy on Father’s Day and he responded with taking his first steps (5) over to Daddy!  So glad we were all there for it.

The water was a little cold to venture into; Deric enjoyed playing along the edge however.

Didn’t catch Bradley well here, but Mommy looks so cute, I had to include it.

Tell me he couldn’t win awards.

Bradley made this look so easy!

Kings of the mountain.

We spent part of our vacation at Idlewild Park – our first of many visits I’m sure.
