Surprise baby whisperer

Ava was always afraid of men as a baby so I guess it surprised me that Henry LOVED Uncle Giacamo. He liked Ciacia Annette and Babcia Basha too. But he loved Giac. He'd stop fussing and just chill, immediately.

Taking it all in. Maybe he's the secret baby whisperer. Maybe it's because he doesn't talk alot or because when he does, he is so soft spoken and relaxed. What ever the reason I think we need one of these magical baby whisperers closer to home. It sure is nice to be able to hand him off and have him immediately happy.

Campfire Fun!

When Derek's family came to visit we did all the usual stuff. Sightsee, eat lobster, shop... And we spent several beautiful nights cozied up to our new fire pit.

Here is Babcia B and Michael chillin out.

Derek being iron man and Ava with her new favorite game (thanks uncle giac) angry birds.

Here is crazy Ciacia Annette with Michael's night goggles on doing some interesting dance moves. She had us all in stitches. Well, all but Ava who couldnt put down the electronics and Henry who was snuggled up in bed.

Only a few nights left now for camp fire weather. Glad we got our smores in and had an oppportunity to enjoy our family.

What we have been up to...
