The Big Apple - Part Two

Looking back on our trip, we weren't able to see and do as much as we hoped, but we certainly did a lot with the time we had.

Thursday Evening - Rehearsal Dinner
Friday Afternoon - Fun with family at Great Uncle Bob and Aunt Noreen's home
Friday Evening - Pizza with Grandma, Grandpa, Justin and the Ostling family
Saturday Afternoon/Evening - Brandon & Eileen's wedding

Chris and Sabrina were so very kind and watched Cole while we were away - It was our first 'date night' in awhile and it was great to eat, drink and dance without a single worry.

Sunday morning we jumped back into Mama-Dada mode and visited a local park before we made our way to Brooklyn. Ryan and Cole were so cute and had such a great time with one another!!

The Big Apple

Back to New York for another wedding! This time, Tom's cousin was getting hitched. We flew out Wednesday afternoon to Philadelphia - Supposed to land at 12:20am, landed at 1:30am. Thanks to waits for the baggage claim and hotel shuttle, we got to our hotel at 2:30am. Nothing like starting the trip off right!

Tom woke up early to get the rental car and we were on the road at 10am. First stop, Connecticut! We've been wanting to see Matt and Julie's home for years and figured this would be the perfect opportunity. Apparently the trip from Philadelphia to Fairfield should be two hours - Well, clearly that's not going to happen when we have limited time to spend with friends! Construction + Torrential Rains + Traffic = FOUR hours in the stupid car. Once we arrived, Cole quickly made himself at home. Emily woke up soon after and it was so great watching them interact - Last time they were crawling at the NYC Children's Museum (October 2010)!

Clearly not getting the point...



There. Sort of...



So. Much. Fun.











Such a great visit! So sad our time was cut short, but we had to head to New York for the rehearsal dinner - Hopefully they'll make it to California soon!

Touch a Truck

On Saturday we went to an event called Touch a Truck - It was created by a family to raise money for pediatric cancer research after they lost their son. Amazing how many people donated their vehicles/time to make it happen - So happy many people turned out to support such a great cause!

Cole LOVED it. You'll notice he's pointing in most the pictures... "Eeh!" and off he'd go!



























Practice for the day he gets caught stealing hubcaps!

Memorial Day Weekend

He's obsessed with his new pajamas. Pants are a bit big, so the shorts will have to do for now!





Saturday - Carlsbad Beach with the Keegan family













Playing with Lyv





Monday - Parade in Kensington
