La La Land

August 2008. This trip to LA made me want to move.

Bethany Beach

August 2008.

1st Birthday

July 27, 2008. Well, we forgot to plan for rain, so of course it rained. Everyone kindly stuck around and we had a lovely time. Eventually we were even allowed to swim. Thank you for the wonderful and generous gifts!

4th of July

O's Game

July 2008. Christo won tickets to an O's game through work, so we decided to bring Petra along. She loved the lights, was a little startled by the cheers, but then decided to take a nap! Believe it or not, she actually missed a good game.

Helle's baby shower

June 2008.

Cuzzies: Petra, Declan, and Ruby.

Meeting Coco for the first time.


Petra was very clingy at the shower, but she finally started to open up once Parthenon brought out the guitar.

Visiting Jason in Philadelphia

Hello?

June 2008.

Princess Ruby

June 2008. TJ, Heather, and Ruby came over to hang out at the pool. Ruby made her regal entrance under a canopied Radio Flyer. Petra grabbed a seat for the ride home and made herself comfortable. Swimming is exhausting.

Summer at the Pool

June 2008. So we joined the neighborhood pool and spent much of our time there over the summer. Petra LOVES to swim!
