Some Family Pictures

A few pictures of us... and a close up of "the cute one"!

Our family at Yale

Just the three of us...

of course Niya had to pick this moment to decide she didn't want her picture taken! :(

Thanks for trying Papa Sully! :)

A Great Visit With Papa Sully!

Papa Sully came to visit and we had a wonderful time sharing CT and the east coast. Niya just loved having him here, and is still talking about his visit. She often says "Papa?" holding the phone up to her ear... "Hello?". When I ask her if she wants to call him on the phone she looks at me, all serious,... "Puter (computer)?" Our little technology kid would rather Skype than talk on the phone! :)

Niya and Papa Sully in Newport RI

Sharing a favorite book

"Does a cow say boo?" No, but Niya can!! :)

Look what I found...

Can you catch me?

We had a wonderful visit! We hope you can come back soon! :)

Silly Daddy!

Niya loves to sit on Daddy and have him bounce around on the bed... she thinks it is hilarious! I just wish he could see the smiles! :)

Wee!

Mommy has to stay close so I don't fall off... these rides get a bit crazy!

Just trying to stay on!

That was great...

Thanks Dada!

What a good Daddy!!! :)

Should I Be Worried?

We came across this "Bat Mobile" the other day when out shopping. We couldn't get Niya out of this thing!! Just look at the daredevil look on her face in these pictures! Hmm I'm just not sure I'm cut out to be the mother of a race car driver! What are we going to do?!

Hey, I think I like this...

Yeah! This is awesome!!

Now, how do I make it go faster?!?

The "Horse"

Kev gives Niya "horsey" rides on his knees... which she has found funny since she was a small baby. Now that she is bigger, she pretends to ride horses often... she moves with the motion of the chosen horse, and even makes the clicking sound of a running horse with her mouth. Now Niya has found a way to experience the feeling of the wind in your hair too!

I think this latest "horse" is by far the best one yet!

Niya and Daddy

Niya loves shoulder rides... she starts smiling and giggling the minute she is up on your shoulders! The best rides are with Daddy of course: Higher up, better shoulders, he bounces more, and his hair is fun to play with!

Up on the shoulders!

Sooo much fun!

How cute is this one!

Daddy and his little girl...

she has him wrapped around her finger already... who could blame him! :)

Niya Loves the Beach

Some fun in the sun with a new little friend the same age!

Too busy moving sand around to look at Mommy!

Not too crowded...

I cannot believe how grown up she looks in this picture... she looks about 3 or 4!!

playing with our shadows

Ahhh the beach in a place where you can actually wear a swimsuit and not freeze to death

(what a novel idea)!!
