Watch Out, Rory

Seriously?

What's next? Told you he's CRAZY!

Fireworks

Worn out from chasing our crazy toddler around the park, we started making our way back home - Who decided we'd walk and not drive?! Fortunately, there's a Jamba Juice on the way. The creator of the energy boost must've been the mother of a toddler. Thank goodness for JJ (and nap time!).



After Cole woke up, we enjoyed some pizza and walked to the hill by our old place - We thought an empty lot would be the perfect place to view the fireworks (as did 100 other people!). Cole couldn't get enough of the show - He pointed and had "Ooh" and "Aah" on repeat. I'll never forget it. The 4th of July is slowly inching towards Thanksgiving as the best holiday of the year!

Happy 4th of July!

Hope you had a wonderful day celebrating with friends and family!

Love,
The Energizer Bunny

July 4th Weekend

Saturday - We met Aunt Sarah and the Keegan's up in Carlsbad at the beach!



Not our chair...





Sand and cookies - Delicious combo.





Sunday - We stopped at Phil's BBQ and made our way up to Uncle Mike & Aunt Sarah's. Good food and drinks for the adults, bubbles and a sprinkler for Cole!

*This is us waiting in the car for the food... He just started saying "Uh Oh" the other day - Problem is he won't stop until you fix what's 'broken.' Totally cute in this case, the binding was coming apart. But when he drops things on purpose and says it until you pick it up? Or when you push the Guide button on the TV remote and it's all you hear until you pick something? Not so much!

"Uh Oh. Uh Oh. Uh Oh. Uh Oh......."

The Big Apple - Part Three

I've only been to Brooklyn four (maybe five?) times - Years ago when we first visited Yon and Ellen's new home, we pretty much just eyed the neat brownstones, the different bars and all the bagel/pizza shops. This trip? All we noticed is babies, moms, nannies and more babies - Never would've imagined, but it's such a fantastic place to raise a child. We joined Tessa on some of her usual adventures (all free!) and had a blast - We were only there for two days, but Cole experienced a music class (in a bar - genius idea for slow afternoons), multiple playgrounds and a playgroup at a local cafe.

Fort Greene Park





Tuesday Morning - Breakfast at Habana Outpost







Tuesday afternoon - After the kiddos woke up, we hit the park again. Cole couldn't get enough of the water features, while Tessa preferred dry land!















I failed to take pictures at Chris and Rhoda's place - They were so sweet (and brave!) to have us all over Tuesday evening. This trip reminded me again of how lucky I am to have married into such a great family/group of friends. We didn't have enough time to see everyone we wanted, but we'll hopefully be back in the Spring to see those we missed and meet Baby Ostling and Baby Taylor!
