New Jersey

A couple weeks ago Jeff, Kenzie & I went down to NJ for the weekend. We decided to Baptize Kenzie this summer with her cousin Drake. Jeff grew up Catholic and it was important to him that Kenzie would be baptized in a Catholic church.

I was a little nervous about the service...I had envisioned a crazy toddler screaming to get down, trying to run away and then throwing herself on the floor out of anger. But, to my surprise Kenzie was wonderful!

After, Jeff's sister Kathy planned a little family get together....

Kenzie had a great time running around and playing with cousins and family she doesn't get to see very often...

We tried to get a picture of Kenzie with her Godparents, Jeff's cousin Gloria & her husband Danny, but unfortunately none of the pictures turned out well...but I did manage to get some pictures of their adorable son Aidan....

Another adorable cousin....Matthew

Kenzie with her older cousin, Gabrielle.....She's such a sweetheart and cutie pie! Kenzie loved playing with her! Even though Kenzie is closer in age to the little boys she wanted to be play with Gabrielle! We wish they all lived closer so the kids could all play more! Gloria & Betty: if you ever want to leave Long Island/Staten Island you can always come upstate! :)

One of Jeff's aunts...Aunt Diana...Kenzie just loves playing with her!

Some of Jeff's family....

We were only in Jersey for 2 short days but we did have some fun in Kenzie's new pool! Kenzie actually got 2 new pools from Jeff's family-they must have felt bad for the almost 2 year old using a tiny baby pool! The other pool we are saving for next summer! :) (Gracias Tia Kathy & Tia Gloria!)

Drake's 1st time in a pool....

He's so cute!! :)
