Smiles, rollovers and townhouses . . .

Hello all,

It's been almost two months since the last posting. Don't know where the time has gone. Actually, that's not true - its all been spent enjoying our daughter! The new regiment and daily routine has left little time for updating this blog. To make up for it there will be more pictures below than usual. But first . . .

Moving? You just got here?

Some of you know and some of you don't know . . . we are moving. Erin coming into our life has created many shifts in priorities and plans. One of those was our decision for Pam to stay at home full-time with Erin. To that end we decided to jump across the state line to a much more reasonable cost of living. We are actually moving back to the area where I grew up - Allentown, PA (aka The Lehigh Valley). This process started last fall but for Pam's work considerations we kept it under wraps - sorry to all those Krafties reading this, didn't mean to keep you out of the loop!

We are moving out of our house this Thursday, July 28th. We are in the process of having a townhouse built. Yes, that's right, I said in the process. As anyone out there involved with new home construction already knows, they are late. We are looking at closing sometime late September. In the meantime, below are some images (exterior) of what the townhouse will look like:

It's an end-unit so we have a nice little piece of side and backyard. 3 Bedrooms so there is a place for guests to come visit. Its located in South Whitehall which is the next town west of Allentown.

As noted in the e-mail with link to our site, our temporary housing is courtesy of my Aunt Mary Jane's generousity. We will be staying at her townhouse located at 344 Village Walk Drive, Macungie, PA 18062. You can still reach us through our cellphones (please note, I listed and incorrect number for Pam in the e-mail, correct number is below).
Dennis 201.602.9007
Pam 201.602.9009

A very special thanks to Aunt Mary Jane for saving the day!! We greatly appreciate her help in our time of need.

And now, something completely different . . .

The real reason you all visit this site, the kid. Erin will be 4 months old next Monday. Can't believe how big she is getting. She is very interactive and often quick with a smile for us as well as strangers. She loves when we try and stand her up. Her pudgy little legs are getting stronger, kicking toys and standing on her Dad's chest.


Sometimes she likes sitting up like this. As you can see in the last picture sometimes she doesn't.

She also loves sitting on the couch. We call it her Baby Bob seat (as in the Quizno's commercials with Baby Bob for those who have seen them).


She also loves playing Superman:




Here neck strength is very good, she has no problems keeping that nugget in the air:



And sometimes she likes to pretend she is a big girl sitting in our bed:

But mostly she is just too cute for words:
