Rhubarb season at the DeGaetano homestead:Rhubarb pie, Rhubarb muffins, Rhubarb cobbler, Rhubarb sauce...
Enjoying our reusable popscicle sticks...
...lots and lots!
Josephine's annual birthday fishing trip with Dad - caught a good-sized walleye - we had fried fish for dinner that night!
Showing off the big catch with Dad!
Happy 4th birthday! Cherry swirl cheesecake, as per Josephine's request
Me showing off my nostaglic candy (yes, those are enormous candy buttons) that Lou got me for my 30th - "to keep me a kid at heart" :)
Maria showing off the three small fish she caught on her annual birthday fishing trip with Daddy
Opening presents with her good friend Gavin from VA
Blowing out the candles - 7 years old!!
The birthday cake made by Mommy (the holes are from the candles). Maria requested a "grown-up" chocoalte cake with choclate frosting. "I want dark chocolate frosting, not kid frosting, Mom, so it will be like a grown-up cake" What can I say? The girl has good taste.
Edward's first trip on the boat. Doesn't he look comfy?
Father and son getting ready for his first boat ride. We were excited - Edward was ambivalent.
The girls posing in their birthday dresses from Grandma Linda (they LOVE to wear matching clothes, believe it or not)
And Edward is getting stronger! Not really crawling, but scooching around a bit, and already into everything. Yesterday, we spotted his first tooth cutting through! Over 8 months old already - sigh, they grow up too fast... :)More fun times and adventures to come - bring it on, summer!
