Jack's 2nd Birthday Party - NYC

By
On Saturday, September 10th, we celebrated Jack's Birthday with his friends here in NYC. Shhh...don't tell him that his birthday was a month ago. I figure I'll only be able to get away with belated birthday parties for a year or two.

All week leading up to the party, I was worried about the weather. We had rain. Rain. Rain. And more rain. Planning to have a party outside was beginning to seem like a bad idea (especially with no back up location available). Fortunately, the weather cleared at the end of the week and allowed the ground to dry (some).

With the concern about rain gone, we found the driest spot we could in the park and set up shop. Many of Jack's friends were able to attend. They all had a great time - lots and lots of giggling toddlers. These giggling toddlers also managed to find the less dry areas. Jack ended up covered in mud. He is such a boy! At the end of the party, Jack and his friends Jake and Lia started playing ring-around-the-rosie. It was so cute!

I've included some pictures from the day -  most of Jack, Jake and Lia playing.

Even though your birthday was over a month ago - HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY JACK-A-BEAR!!

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

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!

Veritable Dutch Wonderland

By
Mother's Day weekend, we planned a little trip out of NYC. We headed to Lancaster, PA - close enough for a night away, but far enough away to feel very different than NYC. The weekend was a lot of fun (and honestly a lot of work). All in all, the boys did well. Highlights below: Dutch Wonderland Lancaster is home to several tourist things. We picked one: Dutch Wonderland family amusement park. My cynical self really doubted that we'd enjoy this experience. I was worried that it would be cheesy. But I was wrong. Well yes, it was kind of cheesy because it was a family amusement park. But it was so fun. The place was very geared to families with young children. The rides are categorized by height so it's easy to know what rides your kids can ride. Jack tried several rides: big trucks, bulldozers, leaping frogs, the monorail. He even drove a car! He had a really good time. Spence was a good sport as there wasn't much for him to do. Maybe next year. Justin felt right ...
