Magical Day!

We just got back from Cooper's first day at Disney. We are exhausted...will catch you all up over the weekend :O)

Happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone!

Here's a quick video of Cooper on the Carousel at Disney...that kid danced all day!

New playroom

So Cooper's latest climbing escapades have gotten out of hand. First scaling the entertainment center, next he climbed into the fireplace and we realized that putting all the large toys in front of the brick fireplace was probably not the smartest idea. So....Rob and I cleaned out the guest room/part-time office and put up a baby gate in the hallway so Cooper can have free reign in his room and across the hall at the new playroom.

After baby proofing both rooms, I remembered I had some sports decals I never used so...up they went.

He is loving it and so are we :)

Let the holiday season begin!

Tonight we made it out for a family venture to the local tree lighting and boat parade! It was such a nice brisk night and the local crowd was eager to wear their sweaters, hats, gloves...etc. We ate dinner at a nice little local cafe in the Village and enjoyed the people watching.

Cooper took a nasty tumble this morning after trying to climb the entertainment center like it was a jungle gym. Check out little Rocky Balboa in the pics.






check out Cooper talking to the baby Jesus!

I was on a plane flying home and missed all the fun but Rob, Cooper and Grammie had a front row seat as they went down the street to the river to watch the shuttle. Oh how I love night launches and was sad to miss this one first hand. Rob filmed it for me.

I was so glad to be home, back in the sunshine and warmer weather. I loved spending time with Kimmy and her family but the weather and traffic in the DC area are both terrible. I was ready to come back to my quiet little life :) I am ready for the holidays and just bought more cake baking stuff for upcoming family birthdays and gatherings, I have grand ideas, we'll see if I can pull them off.

Greetings from DC

I am in DC for work and am having a great time with my sister and her family.

Yesterday my meetings in the city made for a very long day as I rented a car and drove into DC. It took me 2 hours in traffic to get back to my sisters (it was a 30 minute ride there without traffic) but it was worth it to pass The White House and all the other great monuments of DC...right from the comfort of my rental car. The rental car by the way that I parked at a parking garage and once I left the car and stepped out into the street, I had no idea where I was! I had to get a cab to both meeting addresses. DC is not like NYC and I was so turned around the whole time. (I will also admit I didn't know by the end of the day where the garage was but thank God the address was on the ticket voucher I had in my pocket!...that's what I get for strating my day at 4:30am...I was useless by the time I got back to my car at 6pm)

But...I am enjoying my time with Grant. He is about to take off walking and is almost on his 4th tooth :)

Be back on Friday!

Happy Birthday Meredith

I am getting lazy since I have the blog...I didn't send a card but we do wish you a happy happy day! Can't believe you still don't look at day over 22 :)

(sounds like he says Meredith in this video...right?)

God Bless America- Election Day

I am EXHAUSTED from this political season and thank God today is the day! Get out and VOTE!

Happy 3rd Bday Brody!

We had a great day yesterday at Brody's Birthday Party! The highlight for me was when Cooper and I walked in to say "Happy Birthday Brody" and his response was "thanks...were's Rob?" Too cute!

Meredith did a fun slideshow ...just click HERE.
