Picture Time Again

2009-06-04T13:36:00.000-07:00

Tenielle just turned 2 1/2 and Danica is now 9 months old.

I don't know where the time goes. They grow up so fast. Yikes.

Oh look they love each other when they aren't fighting over toys...sooo sweet.

Dylan Tate Lerwick

2009-05-16T07:13:00.000-07:00

My sister and Chad welcomed little Dylan Tate Lerwick on Saturday May 16th. He's looks like a sweetheart to me. Can't wait to meet him in person.

Look A Likes

2009-01-28T07:39:00.000-08:00

I've been asked if Tenielle and Danica look alike. See for yourself. What do you think?

Trip to Missouri Winter 08-09

2009-01-20T11:02:00.000-08:00

We can only guess what plot these two are cooking up. Tenielle & Haley.

And the plot thickens.

OH I see now. We seem to need a nap. Well all be.

Shop a holics. True girls.

Tenielle is reading to her "Haley Bean" and little sis.

Who knows what is up here.

Separation is the only answer by the end of the day.

The girls are enjoying Papa. He sure does have his hands full.

Tenielle Turned Two

2008-12-10T07:24:00.000-08:00

We all had fun at her birthday party. Tenielle insisted on party hats.

Tenielle with some of her friends at the party.

She was having a blast showing them all of her toys & books.

I worked very hard on trying to do something cute for her birthday. I worked all day Friday on the cupcakes. I had to run to the store to get some more icing and the dog, Denali, ate half of the cupcakes so I had to start all over. It was a long day, but I think it turned out all right.

She is very excited about her Birthday. Here is her showing us how old she is.

Family Pictures 2008

I think we have an Animal Lover on our Hands

Too Cool

2008-11-09T13:28:00.000-08:00

Tenielle just looked too cool today. She likes her sunglasses because she says "the light is bright".

Halloween

2008-11-01T14:38:00.000-07:00

Our little "Cowgirl" Tenielle was off to do some trick or treating in uncle Ryan's neighborhood. She had a lot of fun. The whole family got to have some fun in Milford on Oct 31. To see some of the other excellent costumes you should check out the slideshow Mamie put up on her Blog. I have to say I thought Brent was the most shocking. Click here to see it now.

Cousins in Missouri

2008-10-06T07:44:00.000-07:00

We made a trip to Missouri to see the family. We met Lisa and Chad there. Tenielle and Haley are both very loving to Baby Danica. Now sharing her though was a problem. We will have to work on that.

Concord Meeting

2008-08-31T08:39:00.000-07:00

Here a current photo of the Concord Meeting. For once nobody is away and we have 3 new additions since our last picture. Ryan and Theresa have 7 month old Karli and we have 21 month old Tenielle and new baby Danica.

Sisters

2008-08-21T08:28:00.000-07:00

Tenielle is very loving with "Baby Sis" as she calls her. She wants to hold her, which I allow with help, but I have to constantly tell "no" to "I carry Baby Sis". This week I caught her trying to change the Danica's poopy diaper. She had it off when I walked into the room. She also tries to get Baby Sis to play with her and she loves to sing to her as well. Its very cute.

Danica has Arrived

2008-08-12T08:21:00.000-07:00

Finally Danica has made her entrance in the world. She was born Tuesday, August 12th 2008 @ 4:00 pm. We named her Danica Lynn Melendy and she was 8 lbs 9 oz and 21 inches long.

Expecting Another Girl

2008-03-12T12:37:00.000-07:00

We had our Ultrasound today and they said it looks like a little girl. So it will be a little sister for Tenielle in August.

Tenielle is Walking

2007-08-30T17:07:00.000-07:00

Tenielle tooke her first steps on August 15th. By August 30th she was unstoppable. We went to the folks for a week and she didn't stop the whole week. As you can tell I haven't gotten a good picture because she's always moving so sorry for the blurriness.

So she's been walking for a couple weeks so how in the world do they squat down like this. My legs would be killing me.

Tenielle's first Teeth

2007-08-15T17:01:00.000-07:00

On August 8th Tenielle's 2 bottom teeth popped through. Along with it came a new smile to show them off.

Milford Convention 2007

2007-08-11T09:37:00.001-07:00

Milford convention was very hot this year. Tenielle had to do a little cooling off between meetings.

Just too cute

2007-07-30T09:39:00.000-07:00

This Sunday we had to take pictures. Just too cute to pass up. The dress was kinda crinkly and not really Tenielle's style, but I think she pulled if off.

Tenielle is Crawling

2007-07-25T17:23:00.000-07:00

Tenielle started crawling on Sunday July 22nd. She kinda has a funny crawl. She uses one foot and one knee for some reason. I think so it is easy to go from her bum to moving.

This was Tenielle getting very frustrated trying to crawl on Saturday July 21st. I guess it paid off because the next day she got the hang of it.

Saturday at the job

2007-07-24T09:43:00.000-07:00

Oh soo sweet. Boy does she have you fooled.

No Tenielle it isn't food. YUCK.

Looks she's taking after me. Always blinks when the flash goes off. Poor Thing.

We went with Sean to the job on Saturday. We weren't a lot of help, but Tenielle enjoyed exploring. She's just started crawling a bit.

July 4th Camping Trip

2007-07-09T14:25:00.000-07:00

We went camping for 9 days & 8 nights. It was my longest camping trip. We stayed at a KOA in Woodstock, NH. The mountains were beautiful this time of year. The weather was a little rainy for my tastes, but still a lot of fun all the same. We'll definitely have to do it again sometime.

We survived a 6 mile hike in the Lincoln Woods. Tenielle's first hike and she did amazingly well.

The gorgeous river along the Lincoln Woods Trail.

The three of us st Clark's trading post in Lincoln, NH.

Grandma & Grandpa Melendy (Tom & Sharon) with Tenielle at Clark's Trading Post.

Happy Face

Silly Face

Worried Face

Tenielle is thinking....is it food? Come closer so I can see.

Please no more baby fish.

Ummmmm...What tasty fingers I have. Must be no concession stand at this basketball game.

Tenielle is watching the very exciting basketball game. Sean, Brendan, Jess and Tom were playing. She is quite the cheerleader. She had to clap for daddy's awesome plays.

With every camping trip you've got to do a little swimming. Tenielle got her first chance. She thought the water was a little cold though. She tried out the KOA pool and the the frigid mountain stream. Oddly enough she liked the stream more. You'd think is was colder and it was, but I think she liked the sand between her toes the best. Kids and dirt just seem to attract each other.

Tenielle attends a Birthday Party

2007-06-26T06:22:00.001-07:00

This is Gregory and these pictures are from his 2nd birthday party.

On the right is his big sister, Annabelle. She fills in as Tenielle's big sister as well.

This was Tenielle's first birthday party. And did she ever enjoy herself. She loved this little car.

Tenielle's First Camping Trip

2007-06-14T12:04:00.001-07:00

We camped for the weekend in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. A little bit cool and rainy (when isn't New England), but still relaxing and beautiful.

John & Rose's 60th Anniversary

2007-05-28T17:07:00.000-07:00

Sharon's parents had their 60th wedding anniversary on May 25th 2007.

Tenielle and Haley meet for the 1st Time

2007-05-17T07:05:00.000-07:00

Tenielle and Haley met for the first time at Mom and Dad's in Missouri. Tenielle wanted to play with Haley like a toy, but she is rough with her toys. And so Haley wasn't so happy with it. Give them a year and we'll see maybe they'll be fast friends.

Missouri in May

2007-05-16T10:29:00.000-07:00

Tenielle loved the outdoors. We'll just have to go home to Missouri more often I guess. Too much concrete and people here in the east. We need to breathe.

Tenielle is 3 months old

2007-03-04T11:12:00.000-08:00

Haley Rose Lerwick Arrives

2007-03-03T17:18:00.000-08:00

My sister, Lisa, and her husband Chad Lerwick had a sweet baby girl on March 3, 2007. It was Lisa's birthday as well so you couldn't get a much better birthday present than that. Haley was 7 lbs 4 oz and 21 inches long.

The New Year 2007

2007-01-04T10:39:00.000-08:00

This is what my daughter thinks of the New Year. Oh boy what an exciting one it will be. I feel like I need to absorb every moment when I see these other little ones and how far they come in such a short time. Already she changes every single day.

Tenielle Marie Melendy Arrives

2006-12-04T10:15:00.000-08:00

After the long wait our daughter finally arrives. She was born Monday, December 4th 2006 @ 9:30 pm. We named her Tenielle Marie Melendy and she was 8 lbs 10 oz and 19 inches long.
