I'm Back

I bet you have been wondering where I have been lately. Well, Mommy and I spent almost two full weeks in Potsdam visiting her family. I got to see my grandparents and Aunt Lindsay for the first time since I was a week old. I also met my great grandparents and great aunt and uncle for the first time. It was cold in Potsdam but Mommy kept me bundled up so it wasn't too bad.

Daddy came to visit us midway through the trip when the hockey team came to play St. Lawrence and Clarkson. They won both games and before we knew it, the weekend was over and Daddy had to get back home to New Jersey.

Coaley also came to Potsdam with us and he had a lot of fun with Ruddy and Tig. They liked to bark a lot and they gave me plenty of unsolicited baths.

Mommy and I stayed another week and got to spend my first Thanksgiving in Potsdam with my grandparents, great grandparents and aunt. Mommy dressed me up in a brown flowered dress that Granny Franny picked out for me. I also put my 'I'm a little turkey' bib to good use. You can see it in this slideshow of pictures from my visit north.

Road Trip

Hi Everyone. It's a rainy Friday here in New Jersey, but I'm excited for a trip this weekend. On Saturday morning, Mommy, Daddy, Coaley and I are headed north. We are going to drop Daddy off in Syracuse for field hockey and then Mommy and I will continue to Potsdam to spend some time with Neany, Grandpa and Aunt Lindsay. We are going to spend the whole week there with Mommy's family and Daddy will come join us next weekend when he comes to Clarkson and St. Lawrence for hockey.

It was a fun week here at home. Daddy stayed home from work on Wednesday and he went shopping with Mommy and me. The exciting news was that we found a Gymboree outlet store near the Carter's outlet store so Mommy got me some new outfits. This isn't one of them, but here's a picture of me and Mommy in the kitchen.

Party Time

Hello everybody. It's been a while since I last check in on election day. I had a good rest of the week. Uncle John came for a visit on Friday morning while he was in town for a wedding and I spent some good quality time with Mommy because Daddy had hockey games to be at on Friday and Saturday afternoons.

On Saturday, Mommy and I went next door for Grace's first birthday party. Mommy dressed me up in my yellow dress, but I wouldn't let her get a good picture of me in it without my pacifier. On Sunday, I hung out with Daddy in the morning while Mommy went to the store to run some errands.

That's about it for now. Don't forget to wish Mommy a Happy Birthday. It's only three days away.

Election Day

Hi Everyone! Did you vote today? I did... well kind of. We woke up early this morning and walked over to the Hopewell train station so that Mommy and Daddy could vote. We saw long lines on television, but there were only a few people ahead of us when we got the polls.

Later in the afternoon, Mommy took me to the Gift Fair at the Jewish Center and Daddy met us there. We saw Granny Franny and a lot of her co-workers and friends. Then we stopped at Pizza Star for a few slices and came home.

Speaking of the election, my Aunt Orly came home for a few days to help campaign for Rush Holt, my congressman. On Monday she came to visit me and Mommy and here's a picture from her visit.

A Fun Weekend

Hi Everyone. It was another fun weekend here in Hopewell. It started with Halloween on Friday night and I went Trick-or-Treating to a few houses with my neighbors Jonah and Grace. On Saturday, Mommy went for a massage in the morning and I hung out with Daddy for a while. We made a baked ziti, raked some leaves and went for a walk.

Daddy had a game in the afternoon, but when he got back, he helped Mommy give me a bath. It was my first real bath in water and it felt really good in the warm water. Sunday was fun too. Henry and Rachel came for a visit and Mommy finally got the steak she has wanted for the last few days. Of course, I didn't eat the steak.

Coaley has been very worried about me lately. Yesterday afternoon I was crying on the couch and he jumped up to check on me. Then last night, he spent the whole night sleeping on the floor right next to my bassinet.
