Grammy's Retirement Party

Here's a few shots from last weekend where we celebrated Grammy's retirement after nearly 40 years in the same school district, with a party in Middletown and a brunch in Madison. At the party itself, Eliza shocked us and made us very happy by sleeping the entire time! She got a lot of attention, but didn't seem to notice.

Afterwards, we went to Aunt Sarah's house where she was a little more interactive, while getting to meet her great aunts and uncles Judy (below), Sue, Ed, and Carl, as well as her great grandfather (which I'm kicking myself for not having a picture of!)

Eliza says "Congrats, Grammy!"

The next morning was brunch at Grammy and Grandpa J's...Eliza had fun for a while but then got tired so we strapped her into the Moby with Aunt Sarah, and everyone was happy.

Finally, we went down to Papi and Meme's house for Saturday and Sunday, where Eliza got to know her grandfather a little better.

BONUS PICS because I have been delinquent:

Up next: July 4th! Which if you don't know Cam's family well, is kind of a big deal...

Meme's Birthday and Dance Show

The fun continued in Madison for another weekend. Though, Eliza may be too cool for any of that.

 Happy birthday Meme!

A little too small to dance, but I think she enjoyed the final ovation.

On another note, Eliza finally gained enough weight to move up a class and start wearing her G Diapers. Here she is showing them off:

Memorial Day in Madison

Eliza left MA for the first time for Memorial Day weekend, and after a longer-than-we-wish-it-was drive we had a lovely long weekend. And she finally got to meet her Uncle Torin who was home for a few days from Jordan!

While we were in Madison, Sean, Amber, and Noah stopped by to say hello:

(she looks thrilled doesn't she?)

Eliza also got her first of what will eventually be roughly one million trips to the beach at the end of Lee Way...though we're not sure she ever knew she was there - yes that's her, I swear.

Eliza had lots of fun with the family, and luckily got to stay for the whole week, until Meme's dance show and birthday the next weekend! (to be continued)

Eliza Says Hello

Mom and Eliza are currently in CT for the week so I'll look to update the blog this weekend, but in the meantime, a couple pics from Madison last weekend...
