A Search for the Great Pumpkin

Today we took Cailyn on her first search for the Great Pumpkin. We started out in the corn maze and then a hayride to the pumpkin patch. This is all we found.

Update

Cailyn has discovered her tongue!! She is constantly sticking it out and has a new Nintendo face. She sticks her tongue out to the side when she is concentrating on anything. Ericka and Ed were here about two weeks ago. I had fun visiting and I think they enjoyed "renting a family" for a few days. They watched Cailyn and Kaya while I was at work and John was in the city. John did get to spend one day with them. Hope everyone is doing well.

John's Dad Visits

John's dad came to help out and meet Cailyn. He was here for a little over a week. He had a great time watching Cailyn while I was at work and John was in D.C. Grandpa took good care of Cailyn and got her on a schedule. John did get to spend some time with his dad. We went to the New Jersey Botanical Gardens (what a maze), dinner, played with Cailyn, played scrabble and relaxed as much as possible. Over all it was a great week.

Lifes A Beach

So my ma and pa thought it would be fun to take me to the beach today! They took me down the shore(Jersey Lingo for the beach) to Sandy Hook a National Park. We had a great time even though my parents forgot to bring towels!! Unlike Brandon and Carole who got to see Whales on their Ocean excursion all we got to see were JELLY FISH so we ended up opting to stay out of the water for the most part. Mom and dad did get in up to their ankles.

Einstein Gym

Cailyn has discovered the toys on her Einstein Gym. She is practicing her skills of reaching up and hitting the objects. I didn't get the best shot but here is a pretty good one. She has been busy getting her schedule down and staying awake longer during the day playing.

Five Fingers, Five Toes and a Button Nose

Surprise Cailyn has arrived early!!! She came in at 37 weeks 4 days. Weighing 5.5 lbs and 18.5 inches long. She is of course Beautiful because she's ours. Haven't totally decided who she looks like. She does resemble her Aunt Krista. She is a great baby and we are quickly getting used to having her part of the family. Kaya is just a tad jealous but very helpful. She comes to get us whenever Cailyn cries.

Wedding/Shower Weekend

I have been a little busy since being home for Michelle's WEDDING and my baby shower but better late than never I guess. Sorry I don't have any pictures of Michelle's wedding but it turned out to be a wonderful day. It was a little warm but at least the storms waited until after the ceremony and pictures!! Michelle made a beautiful Bride and Mark was a handsome Groom. We all had a great time celebrating their future.


The baby shower was Fantastic. A big thanks to Jen and Leslie. Believe it or not I brought almost everything home in 2 suit cases. I left the big stuff with mom and dad to bring when Cailyn arrives. It was great being able to visit a little with everyone although as usual it wasn't long enough. It was truly a whirlwind visit I was exhausted when I got home. Enough chat here are some pictures. P.S. John secretly likes his daddy belt even though if you ask he will deny it.
