Running Wild in the Streets

Adrienne had a sleepover with her cousin Sammy during Labor Day weekend. When not watching Elmo or going swimming, they basically ran wild in the streets.

Chef Adrienne

Adrienne is really getting into pretend cooking. She makes the best fake cakes and cookies. Dressing up for the part is the most important step, though.

Coloring with Rowan

Last night Rowan came on over to keep Adrienne up way past her bedtime--which she loved because she was having so much fun. Before Sesame Street was turned on here are the two digging some coloring while their mommies actually sat down and ate food.

Day at (Downtown) Disney

When your kid is almost two years old, you don't need to go to the official Disneyland to feel the magic of the Magic Kingdom. The mall outside will suffice. And it's way cheaper. We took an impromptu trip to Mickey's big ol' mall on Sunday (and checked out the neighboring hotels, etc.), much to Adrienne's delight and the delight of her parents who came home with one exhausted and happy baby. Some pics:

Who needs the real characters when you can hug some wooden ones?

Crazy pictures under giant stars.

Dude. Bon Jovi. Respect.

A family portrait.

RRROOOAAARRRR! This is when Adrienne pretended to be a bear and roared as tourists passing by.

Carrie's Birthday Ice Cream Special

After missing the official day of Carrie's birthday, we made up for it with a fun-filled afternoon and evening of hanging out, pizza eating, gifts and ice cream cones shaped like clowns. Adrienne was more than willing to help with the ice cream eating part. (This is post-baby bath, that's why she's all wet.)

Two Hats

Dude, I have on a hat. And I have on another hat.

Adrienne Goes on Vacation

The family Griffin once again flew across the country for some fun with the family in New Hampshire. Adrienne spent some serious quality time with her cousins and friends, swimming, playing in the sand, blowing bubbles and showing off her cute wardrobe.


Adrienne was great on the flight, that is, as long as you weren't sitting directly in front of Adrienne McKicks-a-lot.

She has a lot of cousins and they're all pretty attractive, so we tried our best to capture Adrienne in some moments of undeniable cuteness. (There were waaaay too many to include here.)


At a lobster bake Adrienne showed off her jumping skills in a bouncy house. (More cute cousins pictured in the background.)


While visiting the Tarbox family, Adrienne showed off her fast running skills with Nolin in the back yard.

Visiting a local farm/petting zoo. Adrienne says, "hey goat, say hello to your mother for me."

Here Adrienne tries to put a hat on baby Zoey or is hitting her on the head with it (and Zoey loves it). Note the concerned mother half an arm's reach away.

Maura and Iris used to hang out at rock shows together. This party was just as loud as the old days, but in a different way.
