Cousin Joseph

Tess had a big weekend. She got to fly on the airplane to go visit her cousin in Albuquerque. We thought the airplane was pretty cool, especially the earphones. Uncle Brian and Aunt Maggie were excellent hosts and fed her lots of guacomole and honeydew melon. She got to enjoy the children's musuem, the zoo and old town Albuquerque. Brian and Maggie also told the Easter Bunny that Tess would be at their house so he left some eggs for her to find.

Joseph was a wonderful, handsome baby and was full of smiles.

Maddy's Birthday Party

Tess started going to "work" at a new babysitter at the first of this month. She adores her new friends at Dana's house and couldn't wait to go back when Maddy had a birthday party last weekend. Here are some photos from when she was standing still long enough. Finger -paintin' is serious work.
Gathering up all the balloons to see just how many she can carry!
We are on our way to visit cousin Joseph and family this weekend, so hopefully we will get some good photos.

Hoo-ah

Eric was promoted to Major last night.

Pictured above is the patriotic Major family.
Hiliary and Barak were also in town, but neither stopped by.

Tess couldn't stand that someone else was getting attention, so she had to go stand with Daddy while Major Romero read the official orders.

Tess is the one not in camo!





Tess and the Major. She is glad the Army uses velcro now instead of the pins, this makes it much easier for 2 year old to stick on the oak leaf.
