Spencer turned 2!!

By
Spencer's 2nd birthday was June 1st. We celebrated in NYC and in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts party was first - over Memorial Day weekend.

Spence had so much fun playing with Jack and his cousins. He knew that it was a birthday party, but he was completely surprised when we all started singing Happy Birthday to him! He had this surprised grin, but overall loved it. Jack loved it too - right up until he figured out that he wasn't getting any presents.
Is everyone really singing for me?!?!


Icing tires...yum!

Back in New York, we had smaller celebration with fun a few gifts and cupcakes. (Don't worry, we're having a bigger gathering later in the summer to celebrate both boys' birthdays!).
Breakfast pancakes...

In addition to celebrating Spence's birthday, we caught up with good friends Matt and Beth Knoettner and their two boys, Connor and Brady. We met at a park in Acton where a local running store was holding a 5k and 1-mile race...and it was cold! I wore my winter coat it was so chilly and windy.

Justin and Matt ran the 5k. Justin came in 3rd for his age group - his first time placing!!! Jack and I ran the 1-miler. Yep, Jack ran a full 1-mile race. He did awesome - we finished in 14:30. Jack ran almost the entire way, stopping to let me tie my shoe and to catch his breath briefly. He was about to give up when we reached the organizers who were cheering and we could see the finish. He found his second wind and ran through the finish line with a huge smile on his face. He was so excited and we were so proud of him!
Jack crossing the finish line! So proud!!

Jack's official time - 14:38


Spence was next - running a tot trot with Justin. He also came across with a great big smile - cheered on big time by Jack!

Memorial Day morning, we headed back to NYC - and we found spring - along with thousands of our closest friends in Central Park.

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 ...
