First Northern Lights
No ice cream just yet....but that didn't stop you from enjoying your first visit to Northern Lights.
There's nothing better than ice cream to cap off a beautiful summer day in the mountains!
And your brothers had their first "twist with a cherry dip"...their Mama's favorite! :) I think they were fans!

First Visit to our Beloved Adirondacks and Fourth Lake
You are finally here! What a joy it is to introduce you to your Mama's most favorite place on earth! You will have so many memories here over the years!
For now, I think your favorite part was eating sand :) and watching your brothers bound fearlessly in to the water :)
Here's to many more wonderful years on Fourth Lake! (And the many more blog posts of firsts to come :))

Blessed Baptism
Our sweet little angel was baptized on June 28, 2015 at St. Anthony's of Padua in Inlet, NY.
It was such a beautiful and perfect ceremony by Fr. Shane. He baptized Christian three years ago and now all of our angels have been welcomed in to their family of faith at St. Anthony's - a small chapel in the mountains that is near and dear to our hearts and souls.
Surrounded by his amazing godparents Thomas Piciulo and Jennifer Messmer and his wonderful and loving family our little buggaboo basked in all of the attention and festivities. He was particularly curious about the annointing and the early afternoon "bath" :).
We feel so truly blessed that so many of our family traveled long distances to be with us on this special day.
What an amazing feeling to have Great-Grandpa with his namesake - a fourth generation beginning his new life journey!
We love you all. And we love you my little angel Jonathan!

Twirly Toes
Just like his big brothers, Jonathan twirls his little delicious feet whenever he is thinking or very excited about something.
Our walks to the bus stop (or any ride in the stroller) are full of so much excitement and new things to see that they are powered by two little "jets" :)
Best. View. Ever.

First Papa's Day with ALL of his Duckies :)
Papa and I can't believe it's been a year since we celebrated the last Father's Day when we were dreaming about our third little ducky on the way.
What a proud Papa to be surrounded by his beautiful boys who love him more than anything!
French crepes at one of our favorite spots for Papa's day breakfast, a big ol' cookie cake for our Superman, and ribs at his favorite tavern for dinner. Perfect day for our amazing Papa!
WE LOVE YOU PAPA!!

Mr. Snowman
Not long ago Jonathan was sitting in the play room and seemed to be staring straight at a stuffed snowman that was on the shelf. He was twirling his feet and hands and staring so hard that he wasn't blinking.
I brought the snowman over to him and....the rest, they say, is history.
He folded himself in half squeezing the snowman and squealing with absolute joy. I don't know that I have ever seen a little one so overjoyed by a toy!
He would sit up again, look at the snowman's face and squeal again smooshing his face in to the snowman.
What's crazy is that when Jonathan was around 4 months I began reading him That's Not my Snowman and he would shake with excitement every time I would open the pages. Clearly he has a strong connection with snowmen!!
No matter when we bring him his snowman, he lights up as if he has hit the jackpot of jackpots. We never tire of bringing him his snowman!
PS. Thank you Uncle Jimmy! Years ago you sent Benjamin this snowman for Christmas...little did you know that it would bring another one of our angels even more joy than you can imagine! :)
