Anniversary

Well now we've had our first anniversary. And a lovely time it was... we were once again very blessed to have family and friends with us to share the joy, and we were given some wonderfully generous gifts... life is pretty darn good! Let's see... what else in June..... we enjoyed several BBQ's... to be honest my husband actually admitted he was getting tired of BBQ as we've had or been to so many! Sacrilege, I say! :) Sharrie had a great party, Father's Day was a bit of running around but fun, we got to meet Lily (who is just too adorable for words!), we're taking care of Java for Rob's dad.... we went to see the sand castle sculptures at Hampton Beach, we saw the end of the Sopranos (VERY disappointing), and Nicky (our godson) had his first birthday!
Rob enjoys a corn dog at Hampton Beach.

A Mardi Gras float - complete with flashing - made out of sand!

Another beautiful sand sculpture

Java HATES bathtime.

Could he look MORE pitiful? Honestly.

Rob's hand is bigger than Lily's head! The CLAW!
