The Final Days in CT

The final few days at Grammy's proved to be lots of fun! With Daddy out playing golf, Adaline and Grammy had lots of girl time. Grammy says that one day she invited Adaline to go to the store - Adaline went dashing through the house gathering first her purse - then her sippy cup - and finally her plastic duck, which fits so nicely in her purse. :) Then she was ready to go shopping!

Adaline enjoyed getting to spend time with her God-family - Kevin, Rinda, Nicole, and Danielle (Kudos, by the way, to Nicole who scored very high on her first SAT!). A favorite part of our trip to the north is getting to spend time with this wonderful family. We hope we can be the kind of parents Kevin and Rinda have been to their girls!

Adaline also got to spend lots of time playing with her cousins - whenever the Richetelli family gets together, there is lots of fun to be had! And the next generation is continuing the tradition.

As I have looked through all the pictures, I continue to be amazed at how quickly Adaline's cousins are growing up - but I suppose the family there thinks the same thing about her...

Adaline's last day in Connecticut proved to be yet another beautiful day - lots of sunshine and a beautiful cool breeze. I think it made it even harder for Adaline and Bryan to leave Milford.

Before leaving for the airport, Adaline had one final adventure - feeding ducks at the Milford Duck Pond! She loves "duckies" and thoroughly enjoyed getting to throw bread for them to eat.

I am happy to say that Adaline and Bryan made it home safely, but it was only after a few adventures on the trip home. Their 3pm flight was cancelled for no apparent reason, so they spent five hours in LaGuardia... Bryan said Adaline was great, all things considered, and even though she didn't sleep on the flight home, Bryan says he would take her on a flight again. A special thank you to my dad, who travelled to the Atlanta airport to pick them up at 8:30 last night! When they arrived home, I was able to greet them in a clean house... :) And I must admit that I am ready to spend all day on the Fourth with my husband and daughter and hear more about their wonderful trip!
