We celebrated Gentry's 4th birthday this past weekend. After all the stresses of getting our house done in time and arranging the party for all 42 people we expected, her party was a success! There were lots of laughs, candy-fueled energy, sweaty little people and lots of candy, I mean LOTS of candy. (See picture of centerpiece above!) Gentry- We love you so much. You are the most amazing little girl God could have given us. You are very silly, unique, gorgeous, caring and loving. We are excited to watch you grow, yet we want to savor every single day of Gentry-isms. We love the little things you say and how you interpret things. You are totally one-of-a-kind. Love you very much little lady, Mommy and Daddy

NY, holla!

So I was very lucky to be able to take a kid free vacay to NY with Maci to see Matt, B and Noah. We met up in NYC and walked walked and walked some more! We probably saw the whole town!(Not really but felt like it) We walked through Canal St, Little Italy, China Town, Financial District, saw the newly built WTC, Central Park, Times Square amongst other districts that we walked through and probably had no idea! We had the most amazing ice cream EVER from a Mister Softee truck. We spent a day and half wondering around NYC and then headed to Rochester. The most amazing thing about this trip, Noah fussed maybe twice. He is the most calm baby ever, until Auntie Chi Chi comes to see him and then he flips and tries to scurry away quick:) We spent a few days in Rochester and had Matt and B show us around and tell us what a normal day to them consisted of. We visited an amazing farmers market, ate delicious greek food (homemade hummus...shut.it.down!), saw the beach of Lake Ontario and made some homemade pumpkin ice cream while we scared ourselves crapless watching BTK movie! Doesn't get much better than that. After all this fun we had, I was so ready to see and kiss my 3 favorite little lovies. Luke totally got father of the year for letting me go away for a bit and explore. Pictures await you:
