2nd Annual Open that Bottle Night

Last night we celebrated our 2nd Annual "Open that Bottle Night." Everyone was in charge of bringing a tasting dish and a bottle of wine that paired with it. It certainly was a feast and we enjoyed a lot of good wine! Thank you to the Cartwright's for hosting!




Ellen and Shawn came home for the weekend to celebrate too!


The Mayor of Crazytown and his sidekick


We must have dirtied at least 50 glasses and we tasted at
least 14 bottles of wine.


Uncle Rusty set up a blind tasting of three
Martinelli wines...yummy!

Tub Time






Ava went for her 10 month check up this week and
she weighed in at 20lbs and 8oz and 28in long. As her
doctor said, "she's just perfect!" Like we didn't know that!

Ava's First Easter

Ava's first Easter started with breakfast at Gamma and Grandpa Tracy's house where the Easter Bunny left Ava her first bike!


After a long afternoon nap we went to Grandma and Grandpa Parisi's house and believe it or not the Easter Bunny stopped there too!

Full Moon


Well, our trip to see the Easter Bunny wasn't as
successful as the trip to see Santa but we got
this one shot to capture the trip!

Happy St. Patricks Day!



Spring is on its way!

Who knows if the warm weather is going to stay or will we have snow tomorrow? On Saturday we took advantage of the nice weather and took Ava out for a little while. Dad is coaching baseball again so we went to one of his games...Ava is the best fan anyone could ask for!

Ava and her Pop Pop




This picture reminds me of another little girl that
used to stare in awe of her Pop.

A new friend for Ava

This Sunday Geoff and Benitta were kind enough to schedule a play date for Ava with her new friend Julia. Julia was born on May 20th and Ava on June 5th! Julia's parents, Melissa and Andy were there too... It was great to see you guys again and to get the girls together! Can't wait to do it again!

Christmas in February

For a Christmas present Mom and Aunt Barb got
me and my cousins tickets to go and see The Little Mermaid
on Broadway and dinner at Becco (becco.lidiasitaly.com).
Even on crutches it was a blast!
