Another Little Bear Sighting!

Happy Memorial Day everyone - and what excellent weather we had here in northern NJ! On Saturday Sonny and I went to the US Open of Mountain Biking to check out the pro-qualifying events - very cool.

Then the whole family had dinner in the backyard and Sonny dressed up in his warmest bear outfit.

On Sunday, we headed over the grandparents Chris & Jim's house for some much-needed family time. Everyone loves you, Grampa Jim. When we got home, Sonny jumped (get it?!) into his frog suit for a final showing. Next time we might not be able to pull him out of it.

This past week Sonny started dining on solid (sort of) foods. A little bit of rice mixed in with his usual liquid lunches doesn't always make it down the hatch, but some does! The rest is usually swished around like a fine wine, then shared with the chin, the bib, the hands, the shirt, the height chair, and sometimes even the floor!

Messy, messy, messy!

Happy Mother's Day & Mother's Birthday!

Patience everyone! We've been sick over here!

The good news is we all seem to be recovered, or at least well on our way. This time, Sonny started with the sniffles. Lisa, then, fell deep into the throes of the flu - all but immobilized. Sonny's sniffles progressed ... well, you get the idea... it was ugly and there are no photos to support what I'm saying.

However, leading up to and since then, we've managed some great photos and a video worthy of posting.

Feeling much better!

All set for Happy Hour with Rick & T.C.

Plus, Sonny passed the 5-month mark! We noticed Sonny had begun to incorporate Douglas, his brown dog, into his daily wardrobe in an effort to cover up what can only be called "strange pattern baldness." He thinks no one can tell... and we haven't had the heart to tell him.

Plus, we celebrated all sorts of Mother's Day!

Plus, it was Lisa's birthday!

Happy Mother's Day Mom, and Happy Birthday... we're glad you're feeling better! And thanks to all those who came to our rescue while we weren't feeling well, really.
