Good ol' Seneca Lake

Matt and I will be leaving at the end of this week to head up to New York for the week. It is a much needed vacation for the both of us...probably more Matt since I technically have Summer's off. ;) Matt's family has a lake house in up state NY so I still have never been to the city, but we will make it one day. I'll post pictures when we get back.

It is going to be hard staying away from my little niece, Lydia, for a whole week. I don't think I've even gone a day yet without seeing them since she was born. I know she will change so much in that short time. She's changed so much already!

Little Baby Erni

Lydia Grace Erni, my niece, finally graced us with her presence on Tuesday! We were all so happy for her to arrive, she was a week late and we were all having a hard time being so patient. :) Matt and I are now Uncle Matt and Auntie Vic!! Mom and baby are doing well. She is absolutely beautiful and perfect.

Hurry...Hurry...

I just wish that little Lydia would hurry and get here already. Technically my sister is not due for another week and a half, but it could be any day now really. I'll be a first time Aunt and couldn't be more excited for her to get here. I cannot wait to see what she looks like. Wish I had pictures to post for this topic...but I don't.

Housework

I love projects! Mostly I love working on the house...not that there is much to work on, but of course you can always find something you would like to do. Here are a few projects we have worked on with our house. I wish I had before pictures, but basically the before pictures were regular, simple things. Nothing wrong, just plain.

So Big

Our little love, Jackson, is getting so big! He is pretty much full grown now. He will be 10 months at the end of this month. (I guess in doggie years he is like a teenager right now) His first birthday will be in August. We are so happy with him. We weren't sure if we were ready for a dog before we got him. We didn't want anything holding us back or other obligations if we wanted to get up and go somewhere or travel, etc... But, now we can't imagine life without him. :)

One Year

Matt and I cannot believe we have been married one year already. How happy life is! Back from Orlando (our one year trip) resting it up. We hope to be able to take a vacation every year for our anniversary. We'll see how that goes.

Orlando

Matt and I just got back from spending our 1 year anniversary in Orlando, Florida. We went to Universal Studios and Island of Adventures, and of course we spent plenty of time at City Walk. I get a little bit motion sickness so we had to take a break a few times. Possibly one of our favorites is "The Mummy" ride. One of my least favorites is "The Simpsons" ride because of my problem with motion sickness. We ate at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, Hard Rock Cafe, etc... We are definitely tired and sore from all the walking.
