Advanced Training

By
Over Memorial Day weekend, Jay (Justin's brother), Cristine (wife), Julia (niece - 8) and Connor (nephew - 5) visited us in NYC. It was an action packed weekend and everyone had a great time. For Justin and I, it was advanced parental training courtesy of Julia and Connor. 

The tour of NYC
  • pizza from Rigaletto's
  • Central Park - playground
  • Times Square at night
  • Toys R Us - probably the biggest hit, Julia, Connor, Jay and Justin rode the ferris wheel in the store
  • M&M Store
  • Statue of Liberty (via the Staten Island Ferry)
  • World Trade Center location - though all of the viewing locations are closed so it's difficult to see the building progress and to grasp the size of the area
  • PBJ Company for sandwiches
  • Washington Square Park - ate lunch and watched some kids perform - they rolled out an upright piano and had the necessary boards for tap dance. It was impressive.
  • Google NYC - spent time in the play room  (check out the video of Justin)
  • Canal Street - Justin and Jay took a detour here so that Jay could pick up a few "gifts" for friends....Rolex anyone?
  • Belvedere Castle overlooking Turtle Pond in Central Park
  • Natural History Museum - this place is always packed - we hit the highlights including those from the movie Night at the Museum.
  • and last but not least, ate hot dogs from a NYC street vendor - no visit would be complete without enjoying one of these.
We were on the go all day. I think that everyone had a great time, even if we all needed a weekend after our weekend.

Some pictures from the weekend:

Spencer Time

By
A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).     Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...)  Sleepy times with Grandma    Enjoying a new toy!   Such a big boy

Called up

By
This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!
