Happy New Year 2011 - Maritime Aquarium - January 2



We took a little trip to the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, CT. We didn't get too many good pictures of Nia with the animals, but she loved the turtles and the seals. We are members now, so hopefully we'll get some good pictures next time we go.

Blizzard 2010 - December 27






The day after Christmas we got 14 inches of snow! Nia didn't like getting her snowsuit and boots on, but she had fun playing once we got outside.

Boston - December 23




We took an unexpected trip up to Boston just before Christmas for a sad occasion. Nia and Sadie's great-grandfather, Robert Wadland, passed away. He was 90 years old and was married to Great-Grammie, Beatrice, for 70 years!
Despite the occassion, it was nice to see family and visit the Ducklings in the Boston Public Gardens.

Visit to Arizona - December 13-17






After several flight cancelations and a long day of travel (3 planes and 18+ hours), we made it to Arizona for a great visit with Grandma and Papa. Nia jumped right into the action (literally jumped into the pool before Mom could get in) and enjoyed swimming, playing with Mazie and Blue, picking fruit with Papa, and playing the piano with Grandma.
