Jack with the Gator Walker

Yes, Jack is on his way to walking!! As you can see we are all excited about it.

Just a great little pic of the boys doing their thing.

Jack climbing!!

Here's where he started!


Here's where he ended up!!

I left Jack at the bottom of that climb and without ANY assistance from me, he pulled and wiggled and squirmed himself up each and every step and eventually stood atop the slide victorious and acting very nonchalant about it.

Oh boy, we'll have to keep an eye on him!

Jack lovin' the swing!

Yes, Jack is really coming into his own when it comes to swinging!

Surrey ride on Governor's Island

Carla and Jasper joined us for a surrey ride on Governor's Island this Sunday. A short ferry ride to an island in the middle of NY Harbor and you are transported to a bucolic time and place. Ahhhh.....

Water Sculpture and the artist

Eli loves to build water sculptures in the sink. I should have been documenting all along, so you can see his progress. This one he was very proud of because of all the "waterfalls" it created.

Eli in the red chair

Just a couple of sweet photos we wanted to share.

Eli & Jack are Clap Happy!

Eli and Jack were reading and playing with Mommy and then some happy clapping broke out. As you can see Jack is just thrilled about his new found skill.

Eli Climbing and Sliding like a champ

Eli has been working hard on climbing up the ladders and going down the "advanced" slides at the playground. Well he's finally getting the hang of it so we wanted to show off with a little video.

Jack and the Mirror Baby

While visiting Huntington last weekend, we played around in the Dance School and Jack found an adorable new friend.

Jack Cruising?!?

Driving back from Huntington last weekend (Grandmother's Birthday) was a challenge. Jack got so upset that we had to pull over in the rain. Fortunately we found an empty parking lot for a nearby park and while Jack calmed down, Eli ran off some energy. Lisa and I tried not to get too stressed out and found it pretty funny when Jack took the wheel... so of course we filmed it.

Eli unedited "What A Light"

This was just a few photos of Eli on the chair, then I added a few more and then it got out of control and let the whole song play and just kept adding and adding series of photos.
I felt I deserved the indulgence ;-) ... hope you enjoy it.

Why Eli LOVES to visit Jasper

Another lovely visit with The Roses... Lisa's Birthday, Jasper graduating from grammar school and Jasper going off to camp were the reasons this time, but we always have such a grand time every time we see them.

Eli on sidewalk

I don't know why I just love this photo so much.
