We've had a lot going on lately.
Here's a recap:

The morning of July 4th our town had a celebration on the town green. Willa had a great time.

She loved when everyone was singing.

She also enjoyed playing with the older kids.

July 4th is a special day for us- my husband and I met 12 years ago on July 4th.

That night we were supposed to go out to dinner and then see the fireworks, but both Willa and my husband weren't feeling well, so we had to stay home. I was disappointed because the 4th of July is my favorite holiday, and I was really looking forward to the fireworks- but, lucky me because the next town over has a great fireworks show, and we could see them perfectly from our front stoop.

The following Monday the husband and I drove to the Catskills and stayed in a little bed and breakfast BY OURSELVES for two nights. It was my first time being away from Willa, and it was actually much easier than I thought it would be. Maybe that's because she was with my mother, or maybe it's because it was the right time. Either way, we had a great time. The grounds of the Bed and Breakfast were beautiful.

We also went to my favorite place in the world for the day, Mohonk.

The day after we got back, we went into the city and Willa got to go to Central Park with her father while I had a newborn photo shoot.

Then on Saturday we went to my cousin's little girl's birthday party. Willa pretty much thought it was the best thing ever because she got to wear a crown and get a tattoo.

She also got to dance with a ribbon streamer. I'm not sure if I've even seen her so happy.

After the party, we went over to my in-laws house. Willa always has a great time there because they have guitars and a piano, which she loves to play.

Yesterday, we went to our first game at the Mets' new stadium Citi Field. I have mixed feelings about it because I'm very sentimental about Shea stadium.

But, I got to meet Cow Bell Man, so I can't complain.
