Next Year

Dylan will be taking after his father in at least one of his hobbies and here is a picture of one of them. Next year's birthday and Christmas will be fun and interesting!

Our Little Traveler

I've been meaning to do this for a while now.  In Dylan's first year of life, we have traveled quite a bit.  In January we drove up to Vermont to visit Karli and family for a nice weekend. 

The big trip of the year was to Disney World in June where Dylan went on his first plane ride. 

In August we drove down to Baltimore for a nice weekend to hit up the National Aquarium. 

We've been to Pennsylvania numerous times.  We went to the Philly Zoo,

we went to the Franklin Institute

we went to Morristown to watch mommy play softball.

We have also been to HUP and the Poconos

We've been to NYC twice (3rd will be this week) to the Yankees game and to surprise Aunt Dani.

 We've been to a couple places in NJ like adventure aquarium and Atlantic City for our birthdays.

We love to go on outings together as a family and can't wait for next year!  We already have plans for our travels next year.  Not set yet, but a road trip is definitely in the works.  Can't wait to go exploring with our big boy. 

Papa Daniel

This would be a better picture if it was just the 2 of them.

Happy Birthday Emma

Today was Emma's 7th birthday party at my cousin, Dana's, house. Emma actually turned 7 on thanksgiving day. It was a nice family gathering with good food. Emma will be going to NYC to the American Girl store for tea & lunch tomorrow.

One Stop

This year we only had 1 stop to make. Nothing special just another day with some good food. Now we're home relaxing watching movies. Happy Thanksgiving.

Leaves

Grandma and Grandpa Estler came by for a bit so Grandpa Estler could help Ty with the new firewood we got the other day.  Here are a couple of shots of Dylan playing in the pile of leaves I raked up for him. 

Tomorrow is my little cousin, Tony's, 1st birthday party.  He was born 6 days after Dylan.

Sharing

Dylan was nice enough to share his cherrios with Mia. He was doing so for a few minutes before I started recording.
