Who's On First?

Tim, Kamryn, Caroline, Doug and I met Emilie, Matt and Samantha at Citi Field (Mets Stadium) in New York today. We sort of tailgated with subs and snapples in the handicap parking lot, then we went to find the family bricks, visit the old home run apple, walk over the Shea bridge and then find our seats in the handicap section.

This was Kamryn's First Baseball Game!

Tim had a great time sharing Kamryn's first experience.

Great Seats!

Grandma was thrilled to be at the Mets game with almost her whole family. (missing were Pop-Pop, Robyn, and Kellen). The day was HOT with a small breeze. Water was $4.25 for a cold 20ounce bottle. I think between just Carrie and I we drank five or six. Samantha and Kamryn were good as gold. These tickets were Caroline's father's day gift to DB (and I was included!)

Kamryn, Samantha and GP! Cool walker GP!

Kamryn's first Game was a big success but it did wipe her out.

A Beary Happy Birthday!

Samantha enjoyed her fourth Birthday at Build A Bear, at Bridgewater Commons Mall today!

Her guests included Preschool friends, neighbors and cousins. Grandma and Gp, Aunt Caroline, Uncle Tim, Aunt Robyn and Kellen, Uncle Mark and Aunt Morgan and of course her Mommy and Daddy were there.

Samantha was very excited and greeted each of her guests with a big smile.

Every party guest made a bear to take home.

Samantha's 4th Birthday Bear!

The party then moved to the food court where Emilie's wonderful Fairy cake was served.

Samantha's Mom and Dad worked together to set the party up and to clean up after it was over.

While Grandma took pictures, ate her cake and got to hold her favorite Grandson Kellen. (Did I mention that right now he is my ONLY grandson). It was a wonderful birthday party!

Happy Fourth of July!  (Samantha's First REAL Fireworks)

Who Knew?

Who knew that icing Wilton character cakes could lead to Wound Care And Design! Spreading the burn cream on Dad's wound is just like icing a cake! You put large globs around the edges and then smooth all the rest toward the middle. I had to resist writing my initials or drawing a happy face on it! :)

Just to let you know, he is healing and the wound is closing. We laughed when I said that I felt like I was icing a cake. Dad and I both have warped senses of humor!
