Summer Jams

The 4 weeks of rain have been kind of a drag. So in hopes for sunnier days, I made a summer BBQ playlist inspired by HBO's Entourage. Check it out and let me know if it rocks your party.


Back in Action






Guinn Stewarts have been MIA due to end of school year craziness. We have finally had time to take pictures, do laundry, and drop off two bags of dry cleaning, among other very unexciting things. We enjoyed what was the first really nice day in over a month and went to the Gaspee Days Parade in our little town - what a trip. It was great - it will be completed with a re-enactment of the burning of the Gaspee ship tomorrow in our little harbor. Apparently it was one of the first acts of aggression leading up to the American Revolution. Check out the pics - Shelby loved it, even the shooting of the muskets! The town paints the stripes on the road red, white, and blue for this event...a big deal and lots of fun to see everyone out and about. Summer is officially upon us.

Trip to the Zoo



Shelby had a fabulous first trip to the zoo when grandma and grandpa stewart came to visit before Easter. Her favorites: the elephant and the giraffe. The zoo is a few minute drive from our house at the Roger Williams Park. Now that New England has finally warmed up a bit and feels more like spring I think we'll be making more zoo visits in the future. She did learn to say "baaa" after seeing the sheep, but she wasn't too into the petting part of the petting zoo!

Who Really Needs a Dining Room Table?


When you can have a jumper instead! Shelby discovered the castle jumper while in CA thanks to my old friend Courtney, and since we can't really afford a dining room table anyways....well, enough to say that Shelby LOVES the dining room right now.

Sutter Creek Visit


Got to visit Sutter Creek on our trip too. Shelby and Tanta Wanda really hit it off. Grandma and Grandpa were a hit too, but of course we didn't take all the pics we should have. I am hoping grandma will be sending some pictures my way soon.

California Dreamin'






Shelby had a great time visiting California and showing off her belly to anyone who would look. She made lots of new friends too! Each visit she made some new friends - of course, we weren't great at taking many pictures, but here are a few to show just how much Shelby made her way through the Bay Area. We miss it already. Notice the short sleeves and no coat look - it was a nice change for us.

Snow Day Fun
