We had a great time with Tyler at the shore last week. He loves the pool and has been in pools several times this summer. We made two trips out onto the beach and Tyler had fun sitting and playing with us. The water was rather cold and shocking to him (as can been seen by his crying in one of the photos), but once he grew accustomed to it, we were dipping his little feet in and he was enjoying himself. Aunt Debbee, Uncle Jason and cousins Nicholas, Alexander, and Gabriella all joined us out at Aunt Ann's house for a few days. There was lots of pool time, lots of good food, and of course, a moment to take a photo of all the cousins together.

Matt and I were so excited to bring Tyler to the beach as a family. We've waited a while to share this experience and Tyler was certainly worth the wait, what a blessing he has been to us! Thanks to Aunt Ann for all her hospitality and company during our visit!

Bed Head

After Tyler's afternoon nap one day last week, he popped his head up from his crib to peek at me as I entered the room. It was the first time Tyler's hair got messed up while he was sleeping, which means his hair is really starting to grow!

Family Reunion

On Saturday night, we were invited to Beth's family reunion for some dinner, so we got to spend the evening meeting all the relatives and Tyler got some Grandparent time.

We were able to spend time with some dear friends of ours this past weekend. While we were visiting, Tyler became pals with their little doggie, Molly.

A Visit to See the Cousins

This past Sunday we drove out to Central PA to visit the newly established Chiodi clan up in Mechanicsburg. We got to visit with Aunt Debbee, Uncle Jason, Nicholas, Alexander, and Gabriella. Grandma, Grandpa, and Nona will soon be moving to the area for Grandpa's new job.
