Summer Time







Well, we are still adjusting to being back in Delaware. Case has two more weeks of his summer class left and we are gearing up for CJ's third birthday. CJ is extremely excited about it and continues adding people to his list of invites that currently includes Mama, Daddy, PopPop, Uncle John John, Jess, the other Jess, Grandma Dee, and Caillou (for those that don't know he's a cartoon). He also wants his brother and sister to come (he doesn't understand or yet).

This week he has keyed in on the word dangerous and uses it to describe all kinds of activities especially the ones he doesn't to do such as cleaning up his toys. He was really excited to go to the doctor this week to see the baby. He was quite mad when Dr. Shawl didn't give him a picture to take home.

The baby is doing well. He or she was excited for the close up and managed to wave an arm or leg our way. We can't wait to go and get the real sonogram done at the end of July. For now, we're just happy that the baby looks healthy and is a wiggle worm. I'm enjoying the light kicks throughout the day. The most interesting part is that the baby is extremely active when CJ starts to talk. I guess even in utero they know that kids are more fun.

Here are some pics of CJ when we went to AG Day in May. The first is CJ eating a hot dog and jamming out to the music and the second is him in the maze (one of his favorite things to do).

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...
