Jimmy

Last weekend, Mommy and a few of her friends went to the Jimmy Buffet concert. We had so much fun. His music always puts me in a tropical mood. Here’s to wasting away in Margaritaville!  

Happy Birthday.

Today, the relatives arrive from Ohio. One special uncle is celebrating his birthday. Uncle Larry turns 75 and we couldn’t be more pleased.  His story is special. Contracted polio as a boy, convined to wheel chair, not expected to live past 20.  He dug down deep and conquerd the odds. Mommy is so lucky to …

Surf’s Up

We made a last minute decision to head back to the beach yesterday…or as they say in the east, we went to the shore. This week is the little guy’s last week before school starts.  I remember those days as a child. And I remember being none o happy.  Weirdly, I feel the same watching …

Play Time

I love how imaginative the boy has become.  His summer has been filled with awesome adventures with his babysitter.  And it mostly revolves around, cops/robbers and Star Wars. He really has a knack for directing and screen play.  And he doesn’t miss the little details. “Meg, I said you go left.  I go right”. It …

Surf’s Up

Ladies, the boy was back in his beach wear last weekend.  We loved OC so much that we headed to Stone Harbor on Saturday.  And the waves were much bigger so that made for lots more boogie board time. Let’s just say the boy Hanged Five…no seriously, he stayed right out there with us on …

Zoo

Last weekend we headed back to the beach.  We started at the Cape May Zoo.  Really cute place near the shore…and the best part, free. The little guy took command of the zoo map, which meant lots of running to keep up.  Ever done a zoo in an hour and half?  We did.  The boy …

Lessons

Grabbed this from a Facebook post, too good not to use. My daughter starts middle school this week.  She did all the usual back to school preparations: decorated her locker, bought new uniforms, even surprised her with a new backpack.  Then, on the night before the first day of school, I took out a plate …

Beach

To celebrate Gotcha Day, we headed to the beach.  I don’t know how it happened but we went all summer without going.  So off we went. Hey ladies, cute boy in surfer gear. We started the day with lunch at Mangos, best pizza place ever! We then headed to the beach…where this happened Which led …

Gotcha

Last Tuesday, we celebrated our Gotcha Day. It really is surreal that it has been 5 years since we brought him home. Now that he is older there have been questions about life in Korea.  And this year, we broke out photos that the foster mom gave us, which made him very happy.  But deep …

Tyler

I’m just getting to this post. A few week ago we went to Tyler Aroboritum and walked the grounds.  The little guy loves to climb the tree houses. This place is extra special because it’s one of the first places we took him when he got home.
