We just got back from a week in Cape Cod with my Boston family. Mom said we have too many pictures (tried to capture all the great memories!), so we have to break this down into 3 mega-posts. The first picture is me with the MVP of the week,
Kalyn. I ADORE her, and Mom is going to devote a special blog post to her later this week!
The most exciting part of the week was celebrating the engagement of Auntie Joy Joy and Big Mike. We love him! He is from Cleveland, and is still recovering from
LeBron's decision to go to Miami, but he proved that he will be an awesome uncle!
Mom and Dad were thrilled to get out of the heat and humidity at home, so we spent as much time outside as possible. The first few nights up there were a crisp cool 60 degrees. Heaven!
I spent the better part of the week proving that I was a big girl now, not the baby from last summer. I learned to open the door all by myself. After it squished me the first time, I learned to push or pull it hard and then RUN through it.
It was so nice to catch up with everybody, especially
Kalyn. Mom took her annual Cousins By The Hydrangea picture,
and couldn't believe how much we've both grown.
Kalyn was very helpful this week, she taught me how to walk down the aisle for Joy's wedding (hope Joy likes how we jog to Pachelbels Canon) . She is going to be a Junior Bridesmaid and I am going to be the Flower Girl!
We were always the first ones up in the house. Dad said I am a built in alarm clock, 6:00 on the dot! Papa made coffee, and we read the news and colored with markers.
Then Mom and I would take a long walk to the marina to see the boats while Dad went for a jog. Their goal was to get me out of the house to give the late sleepers some peace and quiet.
It was nice, because Mom let me wear pajamas and bring my new doll, Baby
GaGa.
Sometimes we would walk into town to the awesome playground.
Early in the week we spent the day at
Falmouth Heights beach.
Kalyn found a HUGE hermit crab (as big as a baked potato), and taught me how to look for seashells in the sand. Our parents were laughing at the fact that most of the beaches to the east and west of us were closed this week due to an unusual spike in great white shark sitings ("Jaws mania 2010"), but our beach was open! Guess the sharks don't like Falmouth. Mom was only brave enough to go in ankle deep.
We had great times at the house... the boys bonded over sports, religion, books, and whatever.
The girls colored, learned to knit, watched the
Bachelorette finale (we were on Team Chris since he is from Cape Cod),
and worked on wedding plans.
We enjoyed our time together and wished we could stay for more than just one week!

Great photos, Christina, though I am mildly disappointed to find that I am not the MVP of Cape Week! (: It was great hanging out w/ you, Tim, and of course the unforgettable Miss Kelsey. Looking forward to our next encounter.
