Eleanore, you have now officially made your first of many trips up to the Adirondack Mountains in New York. This year's trip was extra special because so many events took place while we were up there. You, Christian and Ari were finally all together in one place! And the three of you were baptized. You were introduced to your Great Grandpa Messmer and saw your Great Nana in Buffalo on the way up.
You got to meet your Uncle Daniel, Uncle Sam, and cousin Benjamin for the first time too. You and Benjamin got along right from the start, you loved the big hug he gave you. I think you had a good time hanging out with Uncle Daniel too, based on the huge smiles he got from you. Uncle Sam is going to make an excellent godfather (along with Aunt Melinda) I can tell already. And a whole lot more of the Piciulo and Messmer families were there to share in the craziness as well!
We celebrated the Fourth of July as a family and introduced you to the lake and mountains where you got your first boat ride and first feel of real lake water. You loved the boat even though your life jacket didn't appear to be very comfortable for you. You had lots of fun riding the waves in your floating raft too. Your daddy is very excited that you liked the water so much!
Wait, there's more! Your Nonna (Mimi, or whatever you're going to call her!) had a surprise 60th birthday party. Cousin Christian had his first birthday party with the family too. AND Uncle Sam, Aunt Megan and Uncle Daniel celebrated their birthdays too. Whew! There was plenty of cake to go around!
It was so fun for the whole family to be together up there. I envision lots of great memories together in the future. Just imagine what the four of you are going to get up to together!
