Some More CT Fun

Up in New England to visit family and Martha’s Vineyard, more fun was to be had with loved ones in CT. Our time was limited, but we made the most of it!

C’s Intro to the Vineyard

It took 10 1/2 months, but C made it to Martha’s Vineyard (well, for the first time on the outside)! It’s a very special place, given his parents were married there, so C was determined to make the most of it. Breakfasts at Aquinnah Restaurant and The Right Fork, pizza and chocolate in Chilmark, hitting…

A New Beer on Tap

One of the last things my father did before he died (two days prior, in fact) was help brew some homemade beer. Upon his passing, some great friends decided to throw a beer tasting party in his honor when the brew was ready. Luckily, this was beer and not wine, so the party ended up…

Meeting New (Little) Friends!

A trip north to the Philadelphia area meant a weekend with great friends. And, we had two new friends in particular to meet – brand-new baby Regan and nearly two-year-old Koral. It was never a dull moment with all the kid power, including Keira and Liam!

Making New Friends at Daycare

It’s been a few months, and Colin is loving his new daycare. While it was incredibly sad to leave Wafaa and her family, it was an opportunity we couldn’t refuse. Colin is in a room with five other infants his age. He was the youngest, and quickly caught up in terms of mobility (he was…

Our Own Li’l Aquaman

While we don’t anticipate Colin to get PADI certified like mom and dad anytime soon, we wanted to introduce him to the water more regularly. He has such fun in the tub, why not play in a massive one! So, for several Saturday mornings, when most of the world is still sleeping in, Colin embraced…

Time in the OC

No rest for the weary, as we got off the plane from Connecticut and made our way east to Ocean City, MD. Colin was fortunate to take in all the sights – the beach and the Boardwalk, of course, and institutions like Sunsations and J.R.’s Ribs. Here are some highlights of quality time (and Olde…

A Happy 4th!

Colin’s first 4th of July was quite the adventure, starting off early with his seventh flight. While he didn’t stay up for fireworks, there was plenty more fun to be had – in the pool, playing with friends, and getting spoiled by Nonna and Papa. It was so great that Colin got to see Papa…

A Soaring Tribute

One week ago, we lost one of the greatest men to have ever lived. After a long few days laying my dad to rest, friends and family gathered at the house for some great food and my dad’s favorite beer – BBC Steel Rail. As a final tribute that day, everyone sent a balloon soaring…
