Walking with Nanie & Gramps

Nanie - thanks for watching me today. I loved playing outside with you! The stroller rides were awesome!

Gramps - Daddy said to be on the lookout for new golfballs for Christmas. Apparently his round of golf didn't go so well, but he did tell me about the 85 foot putt for birdie that you made!

Ice Cream!

Cleaning up the cake mess...

Cake Time!

A Walk in the Park

Dylan tests out the woodchips in a safe manner...touching them gently with his foot...

Daddy shows Dylan the red ants. Then Daddy quickly realizes these red ants aren't as friendly as up North, so the ant lesson didn't last long...

A view from worn out Dad's perspective...

Happy 1st Birthday Dylan!

GFW (Godfather Wife Cate) rescues the balloons from the Publix parking lot...


When Dylan realizes the singing is for him, he can't hide the smirk, no matter how hard he tries!


Dylan and Mom solicit help for blowing out the candles...


Dylan's fascination with fire is abrubtly cut short when the candles go out...

Thanks, Jennifer, for the Sangria!

And the sugar rush begins!

Thanks Nana and Papa for sending the balloons!

Mommy, Dylan, Nanie & Gramps (thanks Nanie and Gramps for your help...the punch was a huge hit!)

Godfather Tim performs and experiment on Dylan and Dylan's few hairs respond accordingly...

Cate shows Dylan the ornaments (Thank you Tim and Cate for driving down from SC!)...

Dylan unwraps some birthday toys (which interestingly enough will be re-wrapped and doubled as Christmas gifts next week)...

Dylan and his new igloo tent!

Transporting the Goods...

Thanksgiving roll is no match for Dyl!

Thanks Hillary for helping out!

Dinner Mess!

Daddy dropped Dylan's meatballs all over Nanie...


Fortunately, Gramp's arms are so fast (hence the blur), the clean up process was quick!



Casualty: One sweater. Coincodentally, Dylan will be getting Nanie a new sweater for Christmas!

Little People Nativity Scene!

From Left to Right: Joseph, Jesus, Mary

Mommy and Daddy were doing a great job explaining the story of Christ...until Daddy confused a wise man for Mary and Mommy made the brave attempt at explaining the Holy Trinity.

Trip to Villanova & Dunmore!

Dylan shows Mom the clouds that Dad accurately forecasted.


A quick stop to check in on Nick & Kristin. They may not know it yet, but there is no way this baby isn't coming before the due date. They are all doing fantastic and Dylan had fun with them!


Dylan hits the Villanova campus, but has yet to gain the concept of what mittens do.


Mommy and Dylan escort Daddy to the Geography Department.

Mom and Dylan at the "Oreo".

Dad and Dylan at the "Oreo", but facing a different direction to make it look like we did more than we actually did!

During our trip to visit Nana, Papa and Dylan's uncles and aunts (correctly pronounced "ont"), we used a better camera, so more pictures will be coming. But Dylan was worn out at the end of the trip and passed out around 6 PM on his favorite person!

Car Wash!
