Horse Show, Birthday Party, Carnival, Motorcycle Rally, and around the House

This kid's going to be well-rounded! We'll start slow, build in the middle, and bring you back down nice and easy (arguably saving the cutest for last).

Apparently he's not intimidated by the so-called shoes to fill. I wish I had his confidence sometimes!

At the horse show. Not Horsey, horse.

Super-preppy.

Where did this preppy kid come from?

After the horses, beach playground. Not bad living.

"I found some sand!"

The family arrives at the Freedom Run motorcycle rally! If dad were only a little more manly, he would have ridden.

Learning to drink from the bottle, of water.

Biker friends Allison and Chris

Carnival at KHS! Just a few more years little buddy.

Say cheese.

Happy birthday Aunt Sal!

In the grass with the birthday girl!

and poolside with Grandma.

... as promised.

Finally, more Sonny!

Sure, I've neglected you. But, you're still here aren't you? That's because Sonny keeps getting better. And you must know I'm genuinely sorry I don't update more often. So, for you patience and support I give you a huuuuuuuge posting. And what better to start it off...

Even before Easter, Sonny was entertaining friends and family.

Ball?!

Easter was hosted by Grandmom Barb & Grandpop Bob this year - the food and company were terrific as always. There was even a slide in the backyard! It's no wonder he enjoys their house so much.

An afternoon meeting with friend Max included a wagon trip to the playground.

Late April, Mama & Dada headed to the Bahamas for a short getaway. We missed you, little buddy! But, it was nice to get away. Really nice.

Thanks goodness for spring, and green leaves, and walks outside, and sunshine...

...and grandma, and Aunt Sal, and wine glasses.

We went to a street fair in Bordentown, NJ - a convenient location for all that needed to be done: a visit with Roya, Matt, and Nina. A visit with Allan, Shmoopy, Jeremy, & Kaitlyn.

And finally, a very very Happy Birthday and Mother's Day to Mom / Lisa!

... Seven Weeks Later!

Oh my - apologies all around. I promise not to let this amount of time pass again between entries. There's simply too much to capture at this age! Alright, enough talk - how about those pictures!

but first, a nap with Dad...

then a quick bath, which Sonny has really grown to love...

...trying to understand Walter's perspective

Sonny could have hundreds of toys designed for his age group, but he'd never see them if there was a ballon in the room!

Sonny finally got to meet his first-first cousin right before St. Patrick's Day...

More to come soon!

Sonny's First, First Cousin Arrives!

Sonny's Uncle Kofi & Aunt Hillary have welcomed Jacob into their world, and ours. Congratulations you three - and welcome to the club... a club identified by sleep deprivation and unconditional love.

so tiny!

Sonny's looking forward to getting into trouble with Jacob!

All else is well here. Walter recently returned home from an extended stay at Grandma Chris' house - we congratulate him on a job well done.

Happy Valentine's Day!
