Long Weekend in CNY

Last week, Grandma Pat and Uncle Ben tookIzzy and me up to Jack's Reef to visit Great Grandpa Retchless and Aunt Jeanne. The car's trunk was full of baby stuff and luggage and more baby stuff. It was good thing I brought the stroller since we used it nearly everyday since Izzy likes to be held only for so long. Izzy was a good sleeper at night during the whole time. Even through some pretty big thunderstorms.

Are we there yet?


Thursday, Grandma took Izzy for a walk around Beaver Lake Park. We had fun watching the birds on the bird feeders and sitting next to the lake enjoying the view. Izzy had a nap.



Saturday, the girls all went to Skaneatles while Ben and Grandpa stayed home. Grandma got Izzy some cute overalls with snails all over them (they're in the wash now) and the rest of us bought a bunch of cards. Then we went to the park and watched people and listened to old time music coming from a paddle boat.

What's that big boat?

Jeanne likes to play :)

So does Izzy :D


Sunday was a big bridal shower for cousin-to-be Kristie. Izzy was a hit with the ladies and was very well behaved through the event. She managed to take a nap through the brunch and I got to eat. She woke up for the presents and ate her own brunch.

It's been a long day, Mom


Monday, we took the long trek home. Izzy had a nap while we packed the car. Of course, her pack-n-play was already packed, but her booster seat wasn't.


Uncle Ben was a big help carrying Izzy around.

Yay! Home!

And Daddy :)
