Sierra's First Dentist Appointment

Last week, the girls both had dentist appointments and for Sierra it was the first. She did so great! After watching her big sister show her the ropes, she hopped right up into the chair and was an excellent patient. We were very excited that there were no tears and, even better, no cavities! Avery was also very excited about her appointment because she got x-rays taken for the first time and the hygienist said that she has two slightly loose teeth. The tooth fairy better start saving up!

Cape Cod

We had a few fun filled days at The Cape Codder Resort with Gramma, Grampa, Aunt Jacey, and Uncle Paul. First of all, we stayed in a beautiful three bedroom suite with a living room, full kitchen, and dining room. It was so nice! And the indoor water area had a big wave pool with a fountain-like thing, two water slides and a huge hot tub. The girls had so much fun. Avery went down the water slides a hundred times and Sierra loved playing in the waves. We also had a chance to go down to the beach to hunt for seashells. It was not much of a hunt, though, there were just mounds of seashells everywhere. We didn't stay long though because it was so windy we couldn't even hear each other talking!

After a few days at the resort, everyone came back to our house for a night to relax and celebrate Mother's Day. Then, on Saturday all of the grown-ups went into Boston for Tamala and Ben's Wedding!

Happy Mother's Day Gramma!

All of us having a great time!

A Weekend in NJ

The first weekend in May we took a trip down to New Jersey for cousin Travis' First Communion. First, we were able to spend all of Saturday and Sunday morning with Alex and Stacy. Saturday morning Mommy, Daddy, and Sierra went to watch Alex at karate. He did awesome! And Sierra was really getting into too. She was trying to mimic all of the kids doing karate moves. Meanwhile, Avery went with Aunt Jenna and Stacy to her soccer practice. Luckily for Avery, they were short one player so Avery was able to practice with Stacy and her team. She loved it! The rest of the day was spent playing, jumping in the trampoline and planting some flowers. We even got some dessert from the ice cream truck. Sunday morning we watched Alex and Stacy's soccer games before heading over to Travis' party. The girls had lots of fun playing with Travis, Kennedy and Caleigh and their dog, of course. It was a great weekend!
