Snack time!

One of Gabriella's favorite things to do is eat. A close second is staring longingly at the colorful contents of the refrigerator. Here she wisely picks a ripe mango to complement her morning oatmeal.

Reunited, and it feels so good!

After an unfortunate week apart, Gabriella is reunited with her favorite Elmo doll (or at least one that looks an awful lot like him).

Radio Flyer

Looks like Nana and Dubby's birthday gift is a hit!

Notice poor Elmo, temporarily thrown to the side in favor of the new toy on the block.

My First Year on Earth

A video recap.

GFR @ 1 year-old!

Here are a few of my favorite pics of the birthday girl in her party dress. Happy Birthday, Yum Yums!

Our First Father's Day!

We spent our first Father's Day, just the three of us, watching the Bunker Hill parade, hanging out at home and grilling up a storm.

Happy 40th Birthday, Daddy!

We love you!

Hi Daddy!

Believe it or not, today is the first full day Gabriella and Michael have spent apart since she was born. And though she's torn up about it, she managed to put on a brave face for this photo. We just sent it to his camera phone--along with the message, "Hi Daddy!"--to cheer him up at work tonight.

Matching Hairstyles

Fifty-nine years and hundreds of miles separate Gabriella and her Zadie, but they've managed to find at least on thing in common: their matching hairstyles.

Four generations

I spent the day with my daughter, mother and grandmother. Four generations of women. Pretty amazing.

Baby got back!

We bought a mini pool today for my mother's backyard. We also bought the wrong pump ... so Michael blew it up himself.

Tell me Gabriella doesn't have the best father! :)

Next time, we need to pick up swimming diapers too.

Fun in the sun!

Gabriella spent the day swimming at her great-grandparents' pool. Ah! This is the life :)

Happy 60th Birthday, Zadie!

Here, Gabriella is wishing her Zadie a very happy 60th birthday ... and many more!

And here, Gabriella is giving Zadie her birthday present: a couple Eskimo kisses.

Breakfast of Champions

Gabriella spent the first morning of her vacation in Florida having breakfast on the beach with Nana and Dubby.
