Miles' Hair Cut
So we decided Miles needed a "real" haircut. He no longer sits still for Mommy and Daddy, and it ends up crooked. So we went to Snip Its today. It's a very cute place just for kids. They had a TV to watch while you sit in the chair, and Animal Crackers and lollipops. Well, cute didn't cut it (no pun intended) with Miles. He hated every minute, screamed his head off, and told the lady, " No want the LADY!" However, she did a very nice job and the little man looks handsome.
Pictures we found
We found some more pictures on our camera. These are from the beach and when we went to the feast in Lawrence.

As promised...
pictures from the Big E! They are a bit grainy, since we took them with the camera phone, but some came out really good! Enjoy!

It's been a while!
It has been a while since we last posted! Things have been very busy between work, weekend trips, and the campaign, we have not taken many pictures. BUT... this weekend we went to many events and took lots of pictures.
Dena's parents came down for the weekend, and we started the weekend Saturday with an adventure to Chuck E. Cheese (don't tell me you're not singing the song right now!). It was our friends, Willy and Timmy Yanchak's birthday party. Miles absolutely LOVED it and blew through lots of tokens! He had pizza and cake and snag and danced with Chuck E. and even gave him a hug and high five. He wanted to play with the mouse (rat?) more but Chuck E. had to go home and "take a nap." Something Miles should have done, though he only slept the 30 mins in the car... yikes!
After some relaxing at home we went to the Big E in West Springfield, MA. We all forgot a camera, but managed to get some shots on the phone, so those will come soon. Miles just made the height requirement on some of the rides, and loved them all. He went on the Caterpillar coaster with Daddy, and the carousel horses, and the swings. It was a task to get him OFF the rides. We ate some food and walked around to see the animals in the barn. Miles got to see the brand new chicks before falling asleep in the stroller.
Sunday morning we went apple and pumpkin picking at Karabin Farms in Southington. It was really fun! We went on a hayride to the orchard and picked our apples (and a few peaches), and then went on to the pumpkin patch.
It was a fun, and tiring weekend! Hopefully we'll be better about taking more pictures.

Our Vacation to the Beach
So we had a great vacation last week. We stayed in one of the apartments at Dena's grandparents house on Salisbury Beach. Walk right out the door to the sand and the ocean... so great! Miles had a great time! We had Birthday Party #2 and the whole Fleno/Sherwood clan came to celebrate!
Miles got a lot of toys, but especially loved the horse Auntie bought him.
Monday was a bit rainy at the beach, so we decided to take a trip into Boston to go to the aquarium. Miles loved the penguins, though they didn't dance much (we had watched a bit of Happy Feet)! He wanted to go swimming in the tank when we got to the top. The divers were feeding the fish, and he kept saying "Miles' turn!"
The rest of the week was gorgeous! We spent a lot of time on the beach and in the water, hence the lack of pictures ON the beach.
We took Miles almost every night to the center, the place where the arcades still are, but very few rides, except for the quarter horses. Miles loved throwing the balls into Big Bertha's mouth! And with a little (ok, a lot of) help from Meaghan, Mark, Daddy, PaPa, and Nanna, Miles won a considerable amount of tickets. We kept the tradition that Uncle Mark set, and are saving most of them for a really great prize later, though we did get some candy, and a cool Sesame Street basketball.
It was a great week, one we will not soon forget (especially Miles, who continues to ask to go to the center). We hope we can do it again next year, and can't wait!!!!

Miles' Birthday Party #1
We had a cookout here in CT on Sunday. We had some friends come over to celebrate, complete with pool, Bounce House (thanks Statchens!), and Caillou everywhere. It was a beautiful day and Miles had a blast! We'll be having birthday party #2 up at the beach next Sunday. Enjoy the pictures!
