July Come and Gone....

July was a busy and fun (not to mention nauseous and emotional) month for us.... We moved into our new house and welcomed visitors Mems, PJ, and Auntie Val. We went to Jenne's wedding and the Chicarelli's neighborhood party. We took the Airstream to the White Mountain and stopped by Crystal Lake to see Kirsten, Ed, and Baby Ted. Brooke spent eight days at Mems Camp with camp counselors PJ, Auntie Lauren, Auntie Val, Uncle Eric, Sarah, Becca, and Jill. (Mems is Camp Director.) I also visited Kate and Jessica in DC and got to know several opthamologists in Greater New Haven really well. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the past month:


Derek and Brooke hiking in the "Wolves Den" at the Flume Gorge.

Brooke riding her bike with Mems at Hammonosett on the Fourth of July.

Brooke posing with Cinderella at Story Land. She kept smiling and saying "I didn't know Cinderella was going to be here!!" (But also didn't want to sit on her lap.)

I really wish I could edit my leg out of this photo. I had to include it because it's one of the only photos we have of Brooke actually smiling on a ride!

Cereal, coffee, and Jenga in the Airstream.

We took the tram to the top of Cannon Mountain and put the camera on timer.

Brooke enjoying some alone time near the river.

Getting ready for dinner with Ed and Kirsten. Thanks for hosting us!
