11 month update, Family photo shoot, and Bronx Zoo with Camenga's

11 months old today!

  Lyla truly is perfect in every way! She still has the best personality and is always so happy! She still sleeps great (2 naps and 12 hours at night). She is army crawling EVERYWHERE and it is just the cutest thing to watch as she gets around. She recently got her ears pierced and didn't even cry! She can sit up now but with assistance (not on her own yet). She also learned how to clap her hands which melts our hearts to see!
Lastly, this girl loves to EAT!!! She would eat all day if I let her. The girl loves her CARBS!!!! Bread, Muffins, Pizza Crust...She loves it! Here is our sweet Lyla Rose!



Family Photo Shoot!

We had family photos taken of us this past week and let me just say it didn't go as smooth as we would've liked. Our girls were not cooperating. Lyla wasn't looking at the camera at all and Emma didn't want to get her white dress dirty. I only have 2 photos right now and the photographer is sending the rest to us in 10 days. Here they are.....What does everybody think?





Bronx Zoo With the Camenga's

We finally got to meet the Camenga family today! It was so nice to meet everyone! Seamus is even cuter in person then in pics Emily posts of him. He was just great! Grace and Emma hit it off right away. They were holding hands and talking with each other. It was so adorable to see and Liam was even chubbier in person! LOL! I just love chubbyness!!! There was only one set back.....my niece Katie! Towards the middle of our visit she was not very happy and wouldn't stop crying. We had to cut our visit with the Camenga's short because of the situation( Sorry Camenga's ). So by 2:30 we had to leave the Bronx Zoo. During our trip home we were stuck in "bumper to bumper" traffic. We were not moving at all. Apparently, a tree hit a moving vehicle and caused a big accident! Katie was not happy but then Aunt Leslie saved the day.....I always have yummy treats on hand! Here are some pics of the "GRACELLI" Bronx Zoo Adventure! (Granshaw and Porcelli put together!)

We met up with the Camenga's at 10:30 am

The kids in the butterfly garden. One was right on Grace's head!

At this point it was 2:30 and Katie had enough! She couldn't handle not taking her nap! So we had to leave!

Here is Katie still crying! (Keep in mind we all thought this was pretty funny now)

Oh! NO! Traffic at a stand still!


People are now getting out of their cars to see what the problem was! Eddie and Lyla getting fresh air!

Uncle Bruce....eating!!!

There she is...........still crying!!!!! Aunt Leslie can't take it anymore and comes up with an idea!!!!

Fruit Roll-Ups!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!! Happy Again!

Still Happy!

Emma is so happy!

Lyla is happy too with her Munchkins!

Everyone is happy again once the traffic starts moving!

Oh my goodness! Could this be.......yes it could! Katie is sleeping! Victorious!!!!

Then Emma fell asleep!

Emma is still Happy but very Messy!!!!

Here I am so happy we have peace and quite!!!!! This concludes the "GRACELLI" Adventures! This is Granshaw and Porcelli put together!!!! THE END!!!!!!!

    Yay for meeting up with the Camenga family at the zoo! It looks like everyone had a lot of fun! Adorable photos!! Sorry to hear that your niece was missing her nap so much though. Wish we could have met up with you guys too, but hopefully we will be able to make it the next time!

  4. Ok I just caught up on your last two posts. The Long Island Game Farm0brings back so many summer memories! Love it. That bumper to bumper traffic leaving the Bronx also brings back memories of New York, however no pleasant ones. I do NOT miss that traffic. So glad you got to meet Em and Devon and family. Emily was my first POLP friend. We wish we could have joined you for the adventure. Hopefully one day soon! I do like the family photos so far. You guys are all so beautiful! Hopefully phone date very soon!
