Apple Festival

Here are the pictures that I promised in the previous post. They are from the apple festival we went to at Young Family Farm in Little Compton.

Fun Fall Weekend

This weekend was a perfect fall weekend. The weather was crisp and the leaves are just about at peak foliage. On Saturday, we took advantage of the beauty and went on a small hike to Purgatory Chasm. Connor and Joey both had a great time taking in the sights.

Yesterday, we went to an apple festival in Little Compton with Nana and Pepe. We picked apples, ate some food and listened to some live bluegrass music. The music was Connor's favorite part... he just loves to listen along. I don't have pictures of this on my camera, but I will post some when I get them from Nana.

Connor is going to have a little ....

Last Monday we found out the sex of our baby and it's a BOY!!!! We are going to name him Jack Michael Doraz. Everything looked great during the ultrasound. He is growing according to schedule and looked very comfortable in his little home. James and I are excited to have two little boys so close in age. We think they will have lots of fun growing up together. It is also nice because we have lots of stuff in blue so it is much more affordable! When I have some extra time I will scan in the ultrasound pictures.

When we found out last week, we had a cupcake party to celebrate with our parents and reveal the big news. We sprinkled blue sugar inside of the cupcakes as a way of telling the grandparents the sex of the new baby. Everyone was very happy to find out about our healthy little boy. Connor was especially happy because he got to celebrate it by eating cupcakes (one of his favorties)!

It's been a while!

Let me start this post by apologizing for the lack of posts lately. Between all of our crazy changes and some computer problems we have been unable to post. But we are officially back! Let me fill you in on all the things we have been up to...

Over the last few weeks, we moved out of our Slater St. house and into my parents house. We had alot of help with the move and are really grateful to everyone who helped us out... our parents, Beth, Derek, Lauren, Ryan and Uncle Carlos! THANKS AGAIN!!! We also closed on the sale of the house this week. Our new house is being built very quickly. The framing of the entire house is almost done! They have promised to have the house done by the end of November so hopefully the building process will keep moving along. We have been living with my parents for the last two weeks and so far it is going great. Connor has been loving all the extra attention he is getting from his grandparents and James and I have been loving all the extra help.

To celebrate the sale of our house, James, Connor and I went apple and pumpkin picking this week. It was a perfect fall day and we really enjoyed the time outdoors together relaxing. Connor picked one apple and then spent the rest of the time eating it. He did not want to let the first apple go!

Stay tuned... next time I post we will be revealing the sex of our new baby!!!!

Bye Bye Slater St.

Bermuda - Part 3

On our cruise, we got the opportunity to visit the bridge and see Captain Connor at the Helm.

Bermuda - Part 2

While we were docked in Bermuda, we spent a couple of days at the beach. The first day we went to Horseshoe Bay Beach. It was absolutly beautiful with pink sand and crystal clear water. The waves were pretty strong and the undertow was even stronger. Suprisingly enough, Connor loved to have the waves crash into him. He was very brave. The second day we visted Snorkel Park. This beach was much more calm which meant Connor spent alot of time in the shallow end playing with the water and watching the fish swim all around us.

Bermuda - Part 1

Hello again everyone! We just returned from our week long cruise to Bermuda this morning. It was a fabulous trip with lots of great memories to treasure. We sailed on the Norwegian Spirit out of Boston and she was a great ship. Connor really enjoyed exploring the ship, checking out all the different sights and sounds. He also loved the attention he received from the staff on board. Many staff members learned his name throughout the week... He was famous! James and I enjoyed the chance to spend lots of time as a family, relaxing in the sun. It was also great sharing the week with my parents. I have lots of stories and pictures... so I will be spreading them out over a few posts. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed the trip.
