New photos of Kyle

by

I know it’s been ages since I added photos of Kyle. I finally got some new ones up from the past few months.

  • July and August – including photos from camping in NH in July and our trip out West in August (most of which have been posted).
  • September and October – including photos from a trip to Boston & Battleship Cove and the fall Cub Scout Camporee
  • November and December – not much yet, but will include Christmas photos in a few weeks

Update and a Few Photos

by

I know it’s been a couple of months and I’m behind with photos. (What else is new?) We’ve had an fine past couple of months. In March, we headed up to Paramus to spend a couple of hours at the New Jersey Children’s Museum, where Kyle had a great time. At the end of March, Kyle started T-Ball. He really enjoyed it, especially since his best friend Robbie was on the same team.

We had a quiet Easter at home. In April, we hit the Somerset Patriots (minor league baseball team who plays about 30 minutes from us) Fan Fest. This included games for the kids and a game of old-fashioned baseball. Kyle didn’t want to stay long enough to run the bases like he did last year. In May, we visited the Bronx Zoo again. (We have a membership for the year, which pays for itself with only two trips. We try and do four for the year we are members.) For Memorial Day, Suzanne’s parents came to visit. It’s always nice when they come, though it’s likely to be a while before they get back as Suzanne’s sister Beth is due any day now.

The big thing last week was Kyle’s graduations from the YMCA’s Kinderwrap program and Kindergarten. It’s hard to believe he’s already that old.

Kyle just started summer camp at Oak Crest Day Camp today and had a wonderful time. He’ll be there for a total of 7 weeks this summer, but will go the YMCA’s program for the week before our trip out west as Oak Crest ends a week earlier. Next week we’ll be camping with my Mom in NH for a few days. Kyle has wanted to go camping for a while and this should be a good intro. We’ll have a tent, but we’ll see if we end up sleeping there or in the motorhome. Aside from our trip at the end of the summer, we don’t have any big plans for the summer. Undoubtedly we’ll have a few birthday parties, and we hope to hit the zoo one last time. Maybe by then I’ll have more recent photos posted. 🙂

Brief update and a few photos

by

It’s been a while since I did any kind of an update. Not that that much has changed in the past few months. We had a very nice Christmas, with Jack and Mary Lou coming up for some of the time. We both get the week between Christmas and New Years off, which is always nice. (Well … Suzanne actually has to take it as part of her vacation time as the plant is shut down.)

In late January, we had a wonderful birthday party for Kyle. It happened to be on the one day of snow we had all year, but the roads were decent enough to get around and no one was coming from very far. We had a science, mostly chemistry, themed party with a bunch of experiments making some kind of goo. Several people from my work loaned by stuff which was great. Suzanne did a wonderful job organizing it. I don’t have many photos as I was busy helping the entire time.

Last weekend, Kyle had another party to go to at a bowling alley in Garwood. He had a great time. It worked out very well for us too as it was 4:30-6:00. Suzanne and I were able to leave a grab an early dinner at a nearby (excellent) Asian-fusion place by ourselves. Many kudos to Mikey’s parents. Sunday, we visited what will be Kyle’s day camp for most of the summer. It’s a really nice place (Oak Crest Day Camp), but not cheap. (At least his school year costs will drop a lot next year with full day school.)

Not too many plans for the near future. It looks like we’ll be heading our west to the Grand Canyon and southern Utah at the end of the summer. We’re still working on airline tickets, but we’re pretty excited. (Okay, maybe that wasn’t so brief.)

Extra: I had to toss in the one last photo of me at a recent metal (Megadeth & Motorhead) concert.
