Why we love Dyker

One of the reasons we LOVE Dyker is because she handles everything with such a calm and an easygoing style.
On this ordinary Thursday morning, in the middle of getting everything ready - believe me there's a lot of prep to do - for a long day out with the boys, she casually stops and reads Mother Goose stories to the boys just because Eli asked. How great is that?!?

Eli "helps" Jack sit up

Eli was really wanting to help Jack be able to sit up by himself. After a few attempts however, we realized that it may be best if we just wait, and let Jack figure it out by himself.

Eli and Family - Car Wash!

After a long Winter we finally cleaned up our faithful little Honda Civic. We did it while visiting Uncle John and family in Huntington one warm weekend in April. Everyone in Huntington pitched in, showing Eli what to do to modest success.

Picnic in the backyard, Huntington

Don't you love how much they use their hands while talking?

It's been a while, so how about some catch up!

Eli and Dad help go on their first boat trip of the year!
We help Uncle John, Scarlett, Olivia and Magenta
circumnavigate Shelter Island.



Jack gets even cuter.


And, Jack starts eating 'real' food. Yea, Yams!!!.


Also, Jack starts taking baths with his Brother.


And then... Jack gets his own crib! Eli helped him get adjusted:-)


Not to be outdone... Eli got a bike for his 2nd Birthday! (aka. Bikill)
That is one hot ride Eli!


First weekend on Shelter... the beach is great early in the season!


On the way to the ferry we just had to stop for a sunset dinner on the beach.
