T.P.

I have a feeling most parents have walked into this scene at some point in their toddler's life...

Quack!

Between the ducks in Chagrin, all the animals on Grant's Farm, and Ragan (ggma and ggpa's dalmation), Molly had a week full of practicing her animal sounds.  Ask her the next time you see her...she's getting pretty good!

One Fine Day

May I introduce Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin and Laura Sears!  Their wedding was absolutely beautiful in picturesque Chagrin Falls, Ohio.  The new couple is honeymooning through the Napa Valley and San Francisco (yum!) before moving back to DC.  Sure wish they were staying on our coast!

Grant's Farm

We had the privilege of taking a private tour at Grant's Farm with my Aunt Linda, cousins, Justin & Sarah, and their sweet baby, Alex.  We were able to feed many of the animals roaming around and had a special feeding with Bud, the elephant.  Aunt Linda still may be wiping his snot spray off her face!  We also were able to get up close and personal with the Clydesdales...they are amazing animals.

Great Gpa and Gma sure are great!

Riding the tractor was always a highlight of visiting Grandpa & Grandma when I was a kid.  Molly seems to love it too!

Molly's first trip to the donut shop...she chose a cinnamon twist

Look, I got bangs!

It was time.  Molly was either looking through hair falling in her face or yanking out her clips.  Thanks to Pam, our wonderful new friend in Chagrin Falls, OH, Molly is sporting a new doo.  We went to her salon and after Laura's (the beautiful bride) hair was finished, Molly hopped into the chair.  She seemed to like it...never too early to sneak in a spa day!

We had a great time on our trip...more pics to come this week!

Midwest or bust!

We're off to St. Louis where Molly's finally going to meet her greats on the Wick/Absher side of the family...G-Gpa, G-Gma, G Aunts and Uncles, and 2nd cousins.  And then off to Ohio to celebrate with Laura and Benjamin as they tie the knot.  Can't wait to see all of you!
