Shy


We had a beautiful weekend out here this weekend. We're supposed to get a bit colder again later this week, but we are trying to enjoy it as much as possible. CJ spent much of the weekend outside and was pleased as punch about it. He really loves to chalk on the sidewalk so he was thrilled when Daddy wanted to do some work on the Jeep because CJ got to chalk for hours. We even got to go and get ice cream after Daddy was done. The pic above is actually when we got ice cream with Christy in Chicago, but you get the idea.

Saturday Mama had to go to the law school so Daddy took CJ to music class. This did not go over well. CJ proceeded to hide behind Case through most of the class when he wasn't running to the window and asking where Mama was. Even Miss Karen couldn't get him to help with his favorite game. Hopefully, next Saturday will go better. CJ is in to being shy now. He definitely realizes its an attention getter so he often acts shy even around us.

Work. CJ has also taken to telling me he is mad at me when I leave for work in the morning. He really enjoys Mama and Daddy being home together and constantly pulls stunts that he thinks will make Mama stay home. He tells me he won't give me hugs and will hide rather than going to the car.

This Thursday is Grandma Dee's birthday so Sunday we went over with cupcakes to celebrate. CJ was so excited. He kept saying Ta Da and encouraging everyone to take a cupcake. He misses going over there a lot and cried when we finally had to go home. He kept asking if we could stay and running upstairs to sleep on Jessi's bed. He calls her "my Jessi". Then he cried when Johnny wouldn't come home with us. All in all I'd say he had a great time even if he was sad when we left.

CJ is constantly asking when we will go home to our "City" home. He seems to like Delaware, but is very focused on getting back to the city. We find it odd that he remembers so much about it. He is always asking to go to our favorite breakfast spot, Morning Glory, and points out pictures that look like home. He always gets excited when Little Bill comes on and he sees Philly. It makes me sad sometimes, but I know this summer he will love the backyard even if it's not in his "City" home.

Hello from Philly

Hello and Happy Holidays from the City of Brotherly Love! Its almost New Year's resolution time and one of mine is to maintain a blog for all our of friends and family who don't get to see our little guy on a daily basis (and for those of you that do too). CJ is ready for Christmas- although Santa is not his favorite as you can see. I'm not sure who is worse at peeking at packages though, CJ or Casey. We were too excited to wait so we've had a Christmas tree up since the weekend after Thanksgiving. We kept the unbreakable ornaments on the lower part of the tree, which has been good since he likes to take them off and throw them to his daddy. He's so smart and observant. I'm just amazed by him. He loves to learn and seems (to me) to be very mechanically minded since he can unscrew or take apart anything you put in front of him. He has an infectious grin and a laugh that reminds you what living is about. He likes to talk all time and he LOVES to dance. He's ju...

Mystic, CT

We had a great time in Mystic, CT last weekend for Father's Day. We spent Saturday at the Mystic Seaport, a little reanactment community right on the water. We even got to see a replica of the Amistad (the original was either scrapped or sunk). That part was neat, but very sad to see the conditions those men endured. CJ loved the water and kept trying to walk onto all the boats he saw (even the yachts that had just docked for lunch). He really enjoyed driving the ship. We then had lunch at a great little inn right on the water- Seaman's Inn. It was wonderful. On Sunday we went to Mystic Aquarium. CJ really loved it. His favorite was the buluga whales as you can see from the picture. He laughed and oohed and ahhed. It was a great weekend. Now we are just gearing up for our trip to Kansas City and for his birthday in a few weeks. Daddy is going on a guy's camp weekend next weekend with Uncle Sami so CJ and I are planning a trip to the zoo. We'll put up more pics then.

Big Kids

  Ceirnan in her favorite outfit outside the ballet studio- leotard and overalls.  Someone is all ready to head off to Stephens.    CJ looking cool for school.  Ceirnan,who believes jutting your hip out is the coolest thing ever. Where did my babies go?  It's so hard to believe how big they are and how much they have grown in the last year.  Ceirnan is sprouting like a weed and towers over most her own age.  CJ doesn't have the height, but he is about the most mature young man I've ever met.  They are both so bright and excited to learn.  It makes me so happy seeing them together.  Typically, they share, they are polite to each other and they never make it through the day without at least two or three hugs and kisses for each other.  It makes my heart melt to see how much they truly enjoy spending time together.  Do not get me wrong- Ceirnan is too bossy for CJ and one of CJ's favorite phrases (which we h...
