We made our way out to Grandma's for a little barbecue this weekend. Grandma, Aunt Pat, Uncle Keith and Aunt Amanda hung out with us in the back yard enjoying the beautiful weather. There was even birthday cake, and hats, and even though it was really daddy's birthday we all sang to Grahm. Grahm took this to mean not only was it his birthday, but it was his cake... and he decided to help himself to a nice big bite -before it was sliced. Mmmm.

Fathers Day Fun
We hope Daddy had as good a Father's day as we wanted him to... He's a really good Dad, and so a special day was well deserved. Grahm helped make him breakfast: homemade waffles and bacon, and afterwards, we gave him presents. Grahm framed his handprint so Dad would remember how small he once was. And Mom picked him up a new work shirt, to replace the ones she ruined after drying them with a mysterious green crayon. He seemed happy. Afterward we hit the beach!

Daddy Daycare
Park Paradise
We checked out a new park nearby, pier 6 which is part of the Brooklyn Bridge Park development effort. It's amazing! There are a bunch of different play areas- a swing valley, slide mountain, a sand box paradise, climbing mountain and a wading river... we only checked out the water area and can't wait to go back to try out the rest. There were sprinklers, and dams, pools of water and little rivers... not to mention the mote, water table and fountains.

Hoop Dreams
Grahm has recently become obsessed with basketball. Like, throws a tantrum if we don't have a ball and happen to pass a court kind of obsessed -you can imagine what walking the streets of Brooklyn has been like. Anyway, he's a super duper jumper so maybe the obsession will pay off someday. In the mean time, he's practicing...

Little Jeff
Tomorrow is Jeff's birthday, and so tonight, I was flipping through the baby book his grandma made for him. He was so cute. Still is. Anyway, everyone, I mean even complete strangers on the street stop us to say how much Grahm looks like his father. And I see it, but I also see myself in him. Well, tonight I came across this photo of Jeff when he was the same age Grahm is now. They could be twins. It's unbelievable. Grahm even makes that same little squintey eyed smiley face all the time -not that I can find one picture of it. Boy, are these two cute.
Happy Birthday Jeff, we love you.

Beside the Seaside
Happy Birthday Alice!
Alice and Grahm were due on the same day, but they ended up being born 2 whole weeks apart. They've been friends ever since, and today we got to help her celebrate her 2nd birthday. We gathered in the park for a pool party, and Grahm couldn't have had a better time. He splished and splashed, rolled in the dirt followed by cupcakes. Can it get any better? These images are from Cleo's dad (thanks!), cause I forgot my camera!
