First Outdoor dinner

So mom and dad finally got their acts together and put the “green table” together. Funny, the entire time dad grew up things were often referred to by odd names, sometimes by color. They always brought the “white bag”, or to picnics the “Gott”. We seem to have adopted a similar issue with this table. Previously used by grandma and grandpa in their Hoboken apartment, the table is green and thus, the “green table”. I digress…

So the weather went nuts today and we BBQed and ate outside. Pretty good stuff. The start of another summer; my first. Can’t wait!

My first haircut!!

So it was a long time coming but it had to be done. My hair was almost pony tail length so mom and dad thought it was time for a chop. (dad did think twice though about pulling it back in a rubber band. Something about “like father like son”, I don’t know. Mom called him crazy). Mom thought it would be best to wait until bath time even though I am a crazy child right now due to cold and over tired-ness. Dad took the helm and started chopping. My head was moving all over the place so it was not the straightest cut ever seen but in the end, I think it looks pretty good. Dad insists that he will “clean it up” tomorrow. Let’s hope I don’t go back to being bald.

My Florida trip

Florida here I come (well, went now as it were)! Mom thought it would be fun to kick it down in Florida with great uncle Dick and Judy. Florida was great especially me getting to swim in the pool. I really liked that quite a bit. I did however get sick on the plane on the way down there. Was sick the whole time there too. Bummer. Then cried the whole way home because I was so sick. Back now but here are some pics…

Yard Sale!

Although we are still new to the neighborhood we were filled in on the yearly community yard sale that everyone does here. We packed all of my old stuff onto the front lawn for sale. Aunt Jenny took advantage of this as well and packed up her truck. She got rid of like half her basement. All said and done we were up $150 and light a whole mess of stuff from the basement. Good time. Sam and I basically sat on the lawn for the majority of the day. Mom and aunt Jenny got a little “yard sale crazy” by the end of the day. Then they made margaritas and we all relaxed the rest of the day.

And the family visits…

So grandma and grandpa come all the time but this time aunt Christine dropped in as well. A week of visiting was pretty cool all around. I am practically walking now so everyone had more than enough to do trying to get me to take those first solo steps. No luck folks, no luck. Getting closer every day though. Weather is getting a little nicer though so we were able to take a few walks. Lots of rain this week so we didn’t get out as much as we would have liked but good visit all around. Here are some highlights…

First Spring (Easter) basket

So if you ask mom or aunt Jenny, this was officially a “Spring” basket. If you ask dad however, this is most decidedly an Easter basket. If you ask my psychiatrist in 20 years he will say they are both nuts. From where I sat this was a basket of goodies that kept me occupied for a spell and probably will again for a while. Grandma and grandpa are on their way today too so this should be a post-worthy week I would imageine.

First Passover

If I knew how to spell it, I would write that prayer everyone says at Passover but alas, I do not. We had Seder at Wheelie’s house which everyone came to. Dad was working up in Hoboken as it was smack in the middle of the week. So he caught up with us Friday morning and caught up with all of the photos to catch up.
