Weekend Away

This past weekend we took a trip to Erie and Pittsburgh. We left on Thursday evening and stopped in Buffalo to pick up "Uncle" Brian and then made our first pit stop in Erie. We stayed with "Uncle" Thom Thursday night. It was great catching up with him and it was a nice way to break up the trip. Friday we headed to Pittsburgh and we met up with a bunch of the fraternity gang at a restaurant. Then we said goodbye to daddy and he went off with the guys and Will and I went and spent the weekend with my high school friends Laura and Allison. Saturday was daddy's birthday and what better way for him to spend it than with golfing and a fantasy football draft with the fraternity brothers. On Sunday we headed home and stopped in Erie again so we could go and see what has been done to the Behrend campus since daddy graduated from there in December 2001. We had a nice weekend and it was great to see everyone. We hope to see everyone again soon!

Trip To Syracuse

Today Will and I took a trip to Syracuse to visit my college friends Julie and Ellee. Julie's son Nickolas is two months older than Will, and Ellee is expecting a little girl around Christmas. We made sure to take a trip to SU, which is where we all went to college. Once at the Quad we visited the Orange Grove, which is a place that alumni and fans can purchase bricks to be laid in their memory/ honor. In October 2006 a brick was placed for myself, Uncle Jeff, and Will's Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Hafermalz; all 4 of us graduated from SU.

Sunflowers Galore

One of the many beautiful sights of summer is the enormous sunflower field that is around every August. Each year we make sure to check it out; the colors are so vibrant. Will seemed to really enjoy looking at all the bright yellow sunflowers. There were plenty of bees around enjoying the flowers as well.

Will Has Reached One of Many Milestones

Today we hit a milestone! This morning Will rolled from his tummy to his back for the first time! We are so proud of him! What will he do next?

First Family Vacation!

Will With Cousins Erin, Jeffrey, Avery, and Rylie

We had the opportunity to spend a few days at the Jersey Shore this past weekend. Grandma and Grandpa Wallace rented a beach house in Ocean City, NJ and all of Will's cousins had the opportunity to hang out at the beach for a few days. The water was unseasonably cold so we opted not to dip Will's feet in the ocean. We got it down to a science to go and get Will's beach tent set up bright and early so we could get Will down to the beach before he took his morning nap. Otherwise, mommy or daddy would have been stuck up at the beach house while he slept. Will seemed to enjoy his first trip to the beach. The morning family walks was one of mommy's favorite times. We look forward to seeing the family again soon! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Wallace for an awesome beach vacation!!

Time For Cereal!!!

At our 6 month check up we were given the thumbs up to start feeding Will cereal. Tonight was the first night that we offered it to him. He was a little confused at first, but very quickly realized how yummy it was. Before we know it he will be eating the same foods as us.

Here It Comes

Yummy

This Stuff Is Good!
