Skee-Ball!! Wahoo!!

There's just something about playing skee-ball that brings a smile to your face. It takes me back to the days I was at Jungle Jym's Playland trying to earn as many tickets as I could. My Oma (grandma) was always AMAZING and scored lots of tickets. We had heard about this place called Dave and Busters and decided to give it a shot. I really just wanted to play skee-ball.

Boston was so excited on the drive. He could barely contain himself.

Eric and Bos racin! Boston is really just cheering him on!

All of our tickets!

Boston with the loot.

I would definitely do it again. I might even have my birthday party here. It was that great!

Lets Hear it for New York

At the beginning of the month, we had the opportunity to tag around with Eric's parents on their New York trip. We have all been before, so we just hit a few of the main attractions.

We started off with a lovely boat ride around part of the island learning about different events throughout history and of course seeing Lady Liberty.

We rented bikes and crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. Note to self: do not attempt to ride across if there is an organized group walk for mental illnesses that day. Check local papers for calendars of events.
It was still lovely, even if we were among the crazies.

We were able to meet up with my best friend Catherine, who recently moved to the city. She even watched Bos while we went to a show! She took us to the best Greek restaurants and was an amazing host! I'm so glad she lives so close!

Thank you Joe, Janet, and Catherine for an amazing weekend!!!

Run-A-Muck

About a month ago, I ran Run-A-Muck with some friends and had an incredible time. I'm so looking forward to it next year- and maybe if I'm lucky I'll be able to get Eric to run it with us.

My pictures post backwards for some reason, but here we go......

Look at who I ran into!!! We love Jackie!

The whole gang. Two of the girls are pregnant and let's just say I had a hard time keeping up with them! Also, my friend with the medal won the race. I was so excited when I saw him because I thought we all got medals-- nope. Just him.

New Fav

I know I have a lot to post about, but this is our new favorite picture of Boston as of late. Eric took him to the park and we love the expression on his face.

I know that Eric often wonders what it is that we do all day long and Boston did a great job showing Eric today all the things he is learning. While eating dinner, he performed all of his signs: please, thank you, water, more, milk. Not too shabby I must say. Earlier in the week he did say soccer: "coccer". He definitely is just like his dad. His favorite ball is his mini soccer ball and has already started kicking it around the house.
In other updates, Boston is starting to eat more and more. He's still not a fan of fruit, unless it's in puree baby food form, but LOVES pasta-- yet another way you can tell he's Eric's kid.

couscous

Many of you have heard me vent my frustration that my child is not a great eater, I was ecstatic when I got him to eat couscous. I fell over laughing and I hope you do too. This is from about a month ago, but I didn't want to break my tradition of updating once a month. Here are more incredibly funny pictures. Can you see it up his nose?
