Well, I’m older. Not a big concern of course, as the average age in our family dropped dramatically earlier this year, and given the change - I just feel younger. It’s an amazing and unexpected side effect of becoming CJs Daddy.
We had some crazy fun with our dear friends from RI a couple of weeks ago. They brought home the adorable and ever affectionate AJ just a few weeks before we CJ came home. We’re learning that 1 year olds don’t exactly play with eachother a lot, but they certainly check eachother out. And after hanging out for a couple of days - they were certainly comfortable with eachother.
We had a blast at Hershey Park, only, again - with the camera limitations, we’ll have to rely on the D family to share their photos. Blessings to T, J, D, C, M, & AJ - you’re a cool family of 6 - how does it feel to hear it that way? Can’t wait to see you again.
Camera still on the blink, but here are a few shots of the tots hanging out and posing first thing in the morning. First - smiling for the camera - except it was D’s camera!
Making his move already!!!
Then last weekend we finally hitched up the toddler trailer to my bike and the three of us headed off for the Thun Trail section of the Schuylkill River trail. We biked about 5 miles from our usual parking spot to another trailhead where we ate lunch. Upon our arrival - this is what we discovered in the trailer…
After another 20 minutes, she did wake up and have some grub. We had a blast.
After biking the 5 miles back to our parking spot - my legs were burning - I’m so out of shape. I’ll be watching CJ myself pretty much all afternoon and evening tomorrow - maybe we’ll head over and continue to work on torturing my thighs.
Earlier this week, our best pals joined us for my annual free meal offered at Shady Maple - which has an embarrassingly obscene amount of chow and a huge dining room, actually several dining rooms. The food isn’t gourmet, but they know what they are doing and for a birthday occasion at least, it’s affordable.
Then just yesterday, I arrived home to find the Red Head assembling a homemade version of one of my favorite foods.
They tasted even better than they look. Actually, I think I’ll go have some leftovers now!!!

Okay, so I commented on your way earlier post because it was the one connected to my blog stats. I am really glad I read it. But I am also glad I clicked on the top and could see how well Carmen is doing! She looks great! So happy and healthy!
Are those pierogi????? MMMMmmmmm….Your wifey is good to you!
CJ looks great–the sleepiness is so cute. She looks less like a baby now and more like a little girl. My BabyGirl is starting to look the same…I miss the babyhood, but I’m fascinated by the little girl she’s turning into.
And happy birthday. Sorry to have skipped mentioning that!
Many happy returns of the day!
Awwww! They are too cute, aren’t they? We miss “you guys”! Have you tried the Del’s yet? Can’t wait to see you again!
Just wanted to gently remind you that you might want to start saving for the dowery now. Or, you could just have M make another batch of those yummy cookies instead! LOL
Big Hugs!
