A visit to Nana & Popi's house!

These are some pictures of our visit with Seth's parents. It was our first trip with Clare. She loved traveling and spending time with family.

Congress Park

Last weekend we took a trip to Nana & Popi's house in Ballston Spa. Seth took Friday off and we had a nice drive upstate. The weather was cold & sunny. A beautiful fall day with blue skies. Clare did very well on her first excursion. She seemed to love the car ride and only cried if her shade needed to be adjusted if the sun was bothering her.
When we got in on Friday we were able to visit Seth's mom, Nana Kaaren, at work. Clare was bundled up in her pink suit and enjoyed a walk to Congress Park for a few family pictures and a visit with the ducks before we went to Seth's parent's house.

Visit with Auntie Danielle & Nicholas.

This morning Clare & I went out to East Islip to visit Auntie Danielle & her son Nicholas. I have been working with Danielle at the Medical Center and Nicholas will be 1 year old later this week. It's amazing how much he has grown. He's almost walking already and he is so adorable. It was Clare's first time to visit a friend at home and I think she was very interested in a change from our apartment. It was really great to visit with Danielle. She has been such a big support for me with my new beginnings of motherhood.

A Walk in the Park.

The weather has been sunny but very crisp. It's definitely changing to winter and we have been trying to enjoy these great days of sunshine by bundling up and getting out for a walk. There's a very large park near where we live and we were so happy to go for a walk with our neighbors Gabriel & Alajandra. It has been fun to get to know Alajandra and her little boy is adorable.

Rub a Dub-Dub, Clare loves her tub!

Clare has been enjoying her baths more each time!

Girls Night & the Harrigan Conference

Seth is getting ready for the Harrigan in New York. Every year the OMFS residents go to a conference in the city. The chief resident has a presentation and then the guys have some "bonding" time. It's an all day and night affair and it's a good time for the girls to hang out, too. The past two years we have always had a good time. My first year living out here Angelica & I had a 12 hour shopping excursion including lunch out and dinner at PF Chang. Last year, although I had to work, Lily, Angelica & I had a very nice dinner at Mama Theresa's.
This year Angelica, Clare & I had a very nice day shopping. It was Clare's first trip to the mall and to Macy's. She did great and slept most of the time. In the evening Melissa, Lily, Mary Catherine, & Angelica came over for dinner, movie & games. It was really good to catch up and Clare loved having a girls night.
