July18- 24th Nana, Grandpa and Uncle Sean took care of me so Mommy and Daddy could get cought up with work after a week long vacation.

July-28th Michael's 6 month check up from card. Great NEWS Mick is doing Well and does not need next open heart until he is 2 and 1/2! Everyone LOVES him at the Hospital! I call him the mayor he says hello to EVERYONE and smiles! OH he is just too cute I can't stand it! It took much longer then usual but the good news made it all worth it!

Beach time ! Mommy,daddy and Auntie Caitlin took me to the Beach! We had the best time!!!

Michael LOVES the beach !




I am going to push my stroller even if it is in Sand!

Well, Michael had a wonderful vacation on the Cape. He loved the beach after figuring out all about this crazy thing called sand. He was in bliss, being spoiled with marathon rounds of hide-and-seek with his cousins and massive doses of attention from his great aunts and uncles. As his Grandpa reported, Michael would be strolling through the Aves and when they arrived at Uncle Jim and Aunt Peg's house, Michael would throw both hands in the air, as if to say, "Touchdown! We're here."

There will be lots more stories of Michael's first vacation to Cape Cod when his mom logs on, but for now, here are a couple pictures of Michael's first adventure to Cohasset's Sandy Beach with his cousins, Caroline and Nicholas.

Michael would also like to send out a big "Happy Birthday" to his cousin Cole who turns one today and a "Welcome" to his new cousin Rowan Elizabeth born Thursday at a robust 8 pounds.
