Aeraci and Her Baby

Last week I went in to check on Aeraci while she was taking a nap, and I saw she was holding her little snuggle doll, it was so adorable!

A Day With Friends

Kara and Aeraci



Last week we drove to Wilmington to see our friends the Carisio's who were visiting family after their move back to the states. It was so good to see Kara, Gerard and meet new Timothy. We had not seen them since our move last October so we glad to have the opportunity to see our friends we dearly missed and meet their new addition. I loved holding Timothy, who is only 8 weeks old; there is something about holding little babies, I miss it, but not too much yet:)!! Aeraci got a little jealous when I held him, she tried to climb up on my lap. We are excited that they will be living in Virginia for a year and a half, hello roadtrip!

A Day at the Water Park

Aeraci was glad to be on dry land:)
Swimming with Mommy

Aeraci loves the water!



Last week Aaron decided we should take Aeraci to the water park at Killens Pond State Park that we have heard so much about. It was super fun. Aeraci loves water, and this time was no exception. They had a big water slide (maybe another couple of summers before Aeraci's ready for that one), pools, sprinkler features, and a kids zone with little slides. Aaron took Aeraci through all the different pools, before I took my turn with her. We are so surprised how well she does in the water. She will float on her back, kick and she does not wipe water out of her eyes; look out Ryan Phellps, Aeraci's the next great swimmer:)

The Delaware State Fair

Aeraci and her cowboy hat
Wee! I love this ride:)

I don't want to drive the tractor mom!


Last Monday, we went to the Delaware State Fair. It was Aeraci's first fair experience and she loved it. She was enthralled with the animals, her favorite was the sheep. Maybe she get's that from her mommy:) Her favorite ride was on Grandma's wheelchair, no tickets needed!! Grandma bought her a cowboy hat so that she would fit in, and boy did she look cute! The fair was very nice, and very clean. We were surprised how small it was, being a state fair, but after all Delaware is the "small wonder"!

Around the House

Grandma home in recovery

This past week has been a little out of sorts. Grandma had her hip replacement last week and was in the hospital for 6 days. She came home Sunday and is recovering well. Aeraci is fascinated with her walker and likes to chase grandma. Aeraci is cruising all over the place, I think she will be walking before long. It is such a joy to watch her grow:)
