Shot Day!

Griffin had his 8-week check up today, do you think he looks a little scared? He did great and is growing well. He had 5 immunizations and a well check up. He is 8lb. 13 oz. at almost 9 weeks old. Only has a litte digestion trouble which is curing with special predigested formula, and a bad diaper rash caused by the constant stomach irritation which is being cleared up. Other than all that... he is doing great at the moment! We see the hematologist tomorrow on results from the transfusion two weeks back. Dad joined us today for this appointment so he could meet Dr. Julie Konowitz, Carter & Griffin's pediatrician at JFK Pediatrics. She is amazing! Thanks to Ann and Heidi for her referral last year!

Rain, Rain Go Away! We need indoor fun!

Whoever thought of this place is ingenius! "A Latte Fun!" http://www.alattefun.com/ An indoor playground with 20 foot bounce house slides, trampolines, foam pit, dress-ups, games, arts -n-crafts, and more... to top it off, if you kiddo is over four you don't have to be in the room, there are kid sitters who are paid to make your kid have the best day ever, while you relax in a "Starbucks" style atmosphere watching on through the window~ Needless to say we will be visiting this place a lot of those hot summer days or when it is on a 9-day rain run again!

Mother's Day Afternoon Tea at The Chesterfield

It is now a tradition that the daughter takes the mother's to Afternoon High Tea. This year we went to The Chesterfield in Palm Beach. It is a historic English Luxury Hotel, so high tea is right up their alley and ours. We indulged in tea sandwiches, homemade hot cranberry scones, and delicious desserts, oh-yeah - we even had tea!
Funny we all wore a shade of orange without even planning it~

Whose that at the Mother's Day outing? How did he sneak in? He dressed up for the occassion and was a pretty good boy. The grannies really loved on him that day, they took turns!

Weekend at Nana & Papas

Griffin had enough a few weeks ago, he under went a blood transfusion to help his red blood cells develop, and he was sick of all of the doctor's visits we have had to go to in the last 6 weeks. Well, what cures that....Nana & Papas house of course! The boys and I spent four days in Palm Beach Gardens last week because Brett wasn't feeling well and he didn't want us to catch anything. We were spoiled of course with yummy homemade cooking, swimming in the pool, goodies to take home, ice cream before bed, and a little mother-daughter time that was due at the mall. Papa gladly took over when we needed him too with Griffin, but Nana is the main squeeze when it comes to the littlest grandbaby!

Starting to suck his thumb! oh boy!

Griffin's first bath at Nana's house, she was so excited to get everything ready, I thought I was going to laugh myself silly! Have at it!Big Brother always is a HUGE help!

All clean! My jammies are still a little too big, can you tell?

Big Brother Carter is the BEST!!!

Take Your Kiddo To Work Day!

April 23rd is National Take Your Kid To Work Day! Papa Joe decided to take Carter to work that day. He does courier services for a local Toyota dealership. Don't they look sweet, they even match!

My family!

Here is my AWESOME family!

Carter and Dad - Play on the Parent/Child Boynton Soccer Team!

Carter has been waiting for soccer to start in his age group for a year now! Wha hoo - West Boynton Parks & Recreation hosts the Smart Start Soccer Program for kids and parents. Here are a few shots Papa Joe took this week!

Dad Plays Softball!

Dad plays on the Boca Raton Resort & Club Employee Team on an adult league in the City of Boca Raton as the pitcher. Carter and I have gone to every game to cheer the team on. You could probably call us the "official" mascots, since many nights we are the only fans there (sad :( however, we go and cheer everyone on. This season they were 0-22 (maybe that's why no one goes), they have good team spirit, but they play like the Bad News Bears. O-Well, we have a great family night if anything!
