Immediately upon our arrival in Philly we headed straight to the Videon's. |
|
The treat there was a freshly installed pool and hottub. |
|
Here Aunt Carol holds Julian while Bridget also enjoys the warm water. |
|
Julian loves being swished around in the water. |
|
Although sometimes he's a little apprehensive. |
|
Kevin, Joy and Julian swimming in the day's last rays of sunshine. |
|
The following day we went and introduced Julian to his great-grandmother, Dede. A special moment. |
|
Then we made our way up to Lake Paupac. |
|
Where we had a 50's themed birthday party for my mom. |
|
With cake and milkshakes. |
|
Joy was a Pink Lady and Julian was a T-Bird. |
|
Dayna went as Dayna and Ron went as he dressed in the 50's (he was born in 1952). |
|
The party was complete with a 50's-style drag race. |
|
Julian got his nightly baths in the utility sink. |
|
We took a couple of hikes. |
|
This one was on the lake path during the bad weather left over from hurricane Katrina. |
|
We took Julian to the beach to swim a few times. |
|
The family at the beach. |
|
Joy watches over Julian while he splashes around. |
|
There were several picnics at the nearby firepit. |
|
Complete with hot dogs and smores. |
|
Nana, as usual, was stuck holding Julian. |
|
Except when Pops was holding him. |
|
Geese on the outlet. |
|
A hike down to the falls. |
|
We got some great pictures. |
|
Gorgeous backdrop with gorgeous mom and baby. |
|
Snugglin. |
|
Gigglin. |
|
Hangin around the house in pj's. |
|
Hangin around on the couch. |
|
Trying to get some breakfast. |
|
Another swim day at the beach. |
|
Hopefully Julian didn't get swimmer's ear like his dad did from swimming across the lake. |
|
A self-made fort. |
|
Pops and Julian playing on the deck. |
|
Sean and Ildi (and their London broil) came up from NYC on Friday. |
|
Warning: do not shake - contents under pressure. (This is moments before Julian spit up on Sean.) |
|
Another trip to the falls. |
|
Ildi, Julian and Joy watching Sean and Kevin swim. |
|
Said swimming. It was cold. |
|
TADA! Nana and Julian! |
|
One of Julian's favorite poses. |
|
The family at the falls. |
|
Ildi and Sean (who is wet - but Ildi finally got close). |
|
The tri-county fair was in town. John was a big horse. |
|
Julian's first real cow. |
|
Cocktail hour at the Barnard's. |
|
Martin and Joslyn had one night with us. |
|
Where they cooked a fabulous meal (and dessert). |
|
Martin's first experience with cooking hot dogs on a stick over a bonfire. |
|
Uncle Herb and Aunt Mable were anxious to meet Julian so we stopped by for a visit. |
|
Bear was a little confused by Julian. |
|
The "dishwasher" pic. Every baby that goes to R-place has to have the dishwasher picture. |
