We meet Baby Franklin!!!

July 24-26, 2009
The Kressierer sisters reunite to meet baby Franklin!
What a wonderful weekend! Karen invited Dana, David, baby Franklin, Jackson and me to come together for a very special visit. We all finally got the chance to snuggle and love Dana's precious new baby, Franklin. He is such a sweet boy and Dana seemed more content and filled with love than I've ever seen her. What a joy to see!

More fun with family...

The girls were wonderful babysitters-to-be with Franklin.

Jackson absolutely idolizes Ivan. He pretty much followed Ivan everywhere. I love this pic of the boys... and you can see Ivan's missing front tooth!

bike...bike...bike! (Jackson's newest love)

Precious Franklin!

How adorable is this pic of baby Franklin? Dana and David were such amazing and happy parents. I was so thrilled to meet my amazing nephew and see Dana so happy!

fun in the barn!

We all had a great time playing in the barn! Karen and the girls spent so much time entertaining Jack.

Hanging out...

I was so happy to see Ivan and Jackson hanging out...

Amazing meals!

Karen cooked absolutely delicious food the entire weekend! This was my favorite... Chicken w/Sundried tomato cream sauce

Jackson definitely loved the whip cream on the strawberry shortcake the best.

Summer visit to NY!

July 16-20, 2009 Jackson 19 months old
Our summer visit to Grammy's in NY!
We had a wonderful time visiting the whole Wolf clan in upstate NY and going to Drew & Liz's wedding! We miss them so much and wish we were closer!

Jackson and Liam are 3 1/2 months apart... and had a great time playing together.

Jackson's favorite toy at Grammy's!

Just like last visit, Jackson b-lined to the piano as soon as we got to Grammy's. I wonder if our little boy will be a musician?

More fun with cousins...

Jackson and Liam loved watching the world go by while jumping on Grammy's little trampoline.

Tickle time!

Fun on the porch!

The boys had a great time playing on Grammy's front porch. She had an amazing set up of toys!

Nathan shares his snail collection with Jack... oh the joys of having boys!

How cute is this pic of Nathan (almost 4) and Liam (almost 2)!
