A Tribute

I would like to dedicate this post to my green-thumbed husband. His insistence on flower boxes has made our fire escape balcony a pleasant oasis for Colin and me. Thank you.

Lake Trip

We just got back from our lake trip in New Hampshire. This year we stayed at a little cottage on Crescent Lake in Wolfeboro. Although Colin went with us last year to the lake, this was the first year he really got to appreciate the lake. It took him a couple of days, but by the end of the trip he showed no fear of walking out into the water by himself.

Puppetonia

Colin and I have added a new event to our social calendar. We've started attending the Puppetonia puppet shows at our local used bookstore. Puppetonia is all about combining music with a hands on puppet show. They really do a great job engaging all the children, especially since there is an age range from 9 months to 4 years attending the same show!

Lazy Saturday

This past Saturday was so beautiful in Hoboken. The family went out for a nice long walk. Enjoy the pictures!

Airport Delays...expect, plan for, and learn to love 'em

Sooooo, Colin and I were supposed to go to Birmingham this past Wednesday for a nice little summer trip. I searched and searched to find a direct flight and finally found one out of Laguardia at 2:50pm. Well, I think everybody knows you take a risk in getting an afternoon flight, but I thought it was better to get a 3 hour direct flight than to get an early morning MINIMUM 5 hour flight (with stops). WRONG. Turns out the reason for our delay couldn't be helped (it was due to weather, horrible thunderstorms), but you just never know. Anyway, Colin and I spent a lovely afternoon in the airport followed by an even better time in rush hour traffic through Manhattan to get home. But again, I have a wonderful tempered son. I was actually the one that had a mini-meltdown! And he was sweet and wonderful making me smile the whole time. This picture was taken around hour 4 of our delay (yes, that's right, we had already spent 4 hours in the airport at this point)....as you can see he's happily munching away on french fries.

We hope to reschedule and see all the Birmingham folks in September!

Dog Crates & Wagons

What is it about toddlers and dog crates? Here's Colin enjoying a short nap in Mack's bed.
