Hoboken Housewarming - July 19, 2008

I finally bought my own home...in Hoboken, New Jersey...which is right on the other side of the Hudson River from Manhattan (for all of you west coasters).  My roommate, Sydney, came with me on the adventure out of Manhattan.  Shockingly we actually got a few of our friends to venture out of the city and make the whopping 30 minute journey to Hoboken for the housewarming :)

Surfin USA!!!! - July 17, 2008

Surfing in Long Branch, New Jersey with fellow dancers, Gregg and Kristin.  I even managed to get up on my board for a whopping three seconds!  And if you don't believe me, check out this video clip of my surfing experience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oF7tjogt0U

Erin & Todd's Wedding - June 2008

A picture-perfect wedding in Seattle...except those damn bees during the ceremony!!

I'm so biased, but seriously...if this isn't the next Gerber Baby, I don't know who is!!

Ah...how cute...two little flirts!  :)

He's giving me a kiss!  What a little heart-breaker in the making!

And a trouble-maker in the making...  What am I talking about...he's already total trouble!  With brother-in-law Dominic at the wedding...

Three sisters...

The entire bridal party...Katie, Heather, Bride Erin, Lindsay, Beth

Hmm...I might not scream and yell like Brenden when I'm hungry, but I'm pretty dang hungry right now, and this box of Cheez-its is my best friend!

With Kimberly at the wedding...so sweet to come all the way out from NYC...

Brenden had a few words to say during Dad's speech..."Uh, Mommy...I'd like my nap and bottle NOW please!"

Father-daughter dance...I'm surprised I kept my eyes dry long enough to get a photo of this!
