Simon Turns 3!

After waking up with a bad cold this morning and telling me he didn't want a birthday, Simon managed to turn 3 and have a great day!

Many thanks to all the friends and family for making this such a special day for him (and one that he will not have to share with his baby brother - ok I'll take credit for that). Click on Simon to see more from his birthday party.

Hershey Park Happy

It's been a fun summer so far! We had a great time a few weeks ago when we visited Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Marvin and went to Hershey Park.

Simon had a great time meeting the Hershey Kiss,


The Hershey Bar,


...and riding the rides.


We can't wait to do it again!

Touch a Truck!

Yesterday a local elementary school had a "Touch a Truck" fundraiser. Simon got to see and touch many different trucks, including an ambulance, cement truck, garbage truck and fire truck. It was a lot of fun!

Hey Diddle Diddle

To get away from the snow, we visited Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Marvin this past weekend. We had a great time checking out Hershey's Chocolate World, Monkey Joe's and reading books. Here is Simon "reading" his version of Hey Diddle Diddle.

Blizzard Fun!

We missed the actual blizzard but have been enjoying all the snow left in its wake.

Simon enjoyed walking in the crunchy snow, helped build his first snowman, and went sledding for the first time. It has been a fun week. Click on Simon to see more pictures.

Celebrating the Holidays

We've been having so much fun lately that I haven't been blogging. But I'll try to catch everyone up now...

The week after Simon's birthday, we celebrated a wonderful Brooklyn Thanksgiving with Mark's and Susan's families.


We put up our first Christmas tree and continued our tradition of celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas.


We traveled to Pennsylvania (or Pencil-bania as Simon calls it) to visit Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Marvin for Christmas. Click on the picture of Simon to see pictures of our trip. Among other things Simon received a really fun train table and his first RC fire truck. It was a great visit that also included a trip to one of Simon's favorite places, Hershey Chocolate World.


We returned to Brooklyn and had a lovely Christmas dinner with Mark's family.


It has been
a fun, exciting and Simon-spoiling couple of weeks!

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Sorry for the slightly belated post for Simon's 2nd birthday.

Simon turned 2 on November 19th and what better way to spend the day than to take him to the American Museum of Natural History. Once there we had to check out the dinosaurs.


Simon was completely amazed by their size. He loved looking at the gigantic dinosaurs but also loved the small dinosaurs on display as well. It was such a fun day.

Then, on November 21st, we held a party for Simon at the Hootenanny Art House in Park Slope. Simon had a great time with lots of his friends and family there. We also had a singalong with Pete Sinjin. It was a great time.

It was a great birthday weekend! We are looking forward to the Terrific Twos!
