Kaylee is officially a 1 year old! Happy Birthday Kaylee!
By the time of this writing, she is actually 13 months old. So happy belated birthday Kaylee!
Here’s a video from her 1st Birthday Party. I love how amazed she is at what is going on during the party, especially blowing out the candle with cameras flashing all around.
It just takes a long time to encode high definition video for the web 
We had such a wonderful Father’s Day. We relaxed at home, had delicious brunch complete with mimosa’s, and watched the unbelievable World Cup semi-final game, Turkey vs. Czech Republic. Then we went over to my dad’s place and had a wonderful BBQ dinner. The best part of all was Kaylee’s surprise gift to Scott, she stood up on her own for the very first time!!!
And, here’s my most recent favorite picture of Kaylee, taken by my friend Barbara…
Last Saturday we went to Tim & Michele’s house for a playdate with their three children. Kaylee had so much fun and we got to play in their pool…
Then during the last week when the temperatures have been around 100, Kaylee has been enjoying playing in her little pool on our front porch! What fun!
Last weekend we went to Mike Semsky’s house in Rhode Island and boy did we have fun. We had an interesting ride up when my back right tire blew-out on I-95, just 1 mile from the exit we wanted. Scott put on the spare in less than 5 minutes and we were back on the road. Conveniently, there was a Toyota dealership on our way, so we quickly stopped there to get a new tire and arrived at Mike’s in the late afternoon.
Staying at the house for the weekend were gracious homeowners; Lorraine, John and Mike along with Jaimee, Dan, Cheryl, and unborn baby Beckmann. On Friday night we had a bonfire on the beach, roasted marshmellows and made smores. Kaylee fell asleep on my lap and we all enjoyed the gorgeous beach fire.
Saturday was overcast, so we played some tennis which was so much fun. I hadn’t played in years, but it made me want to take it up again. On Sunday it was gorgeous out and Kaylee played with her toys out on the deck. Then Scott and I took her down to the beach to play in the sand for the very first time. Surprisingly she didn’t eat it, she just let it fall between her fingers, loving the feeling of something completely new.
But somehow during the weekend Kaylee made time for some light reading…
All in all, Scott, Kaylee & I had the most wonderful time. Thanks Lorraine, John & Mike for having us up again and again and again!
