His own beat

Grahm and Bean, updated

The snow storm also gave us time to catch up on a much needed photo update for Grahm and Bean. Their size relationship continues to amaze us, but also their relationship. We asked Grahm to give Bean a hug for the photo and he promptly climbed onto his back for a full on bear hug. Bean was more than happy for the squeeze.

And more snow!

New York was hit with a snowicane this weekend. A snow storm with hurricaine winds. We got 20", and we are told it was the fourth-largest one-day snowstorm in history. As much as we loved spending most of the weekend in PJ's, playing in the snow and coloring like crazy we are very ready for spring to arrive. pretty please?


Grahm was really into tasting the snow this storm.


A big storm calls for alot of room to color...

Fruit Fly

We must have a fruit fly. All the plums in the fruit bowl have mysterious little bites taken out of them?!

Country Boy

We were back out of the city for another great weekend in the country. This weekend we were up visiting Nana, Papa and Uncle Matt out in Belchertown. I spent alot of time playing out in the snow, shoveling piles and tossing snow balls to Aidan and Bean. Nana gave me a bath, and I got to show her how good I've gotten at splashing. Wait til next time when I show her the cannon ball I'm perfecting.

Catskills, take me away...

This weekend marked Valentines Day, followed by President's Day, but what that really translated for us was: LONG WEEKEND! We decided to celebrate up in the Catskills with our friends Dan and Amie. We rented an old farmhouse from the 1800's for the weekend complete with 33 acres to explore. Grahm and Bean couldn't have been happier bundling up to roam, fetch and climb. The house was beautiful with many of the original farmhouse elements included in its recent restoration. Grahm was especially into the stair case that opened up to a catwalk overlooking the kitchen. I think the rest of the gang was most impressed with the views of the Catskill mountains. We did all agree that we could get used to big dinners together followed by a good game.

Snow Day Pretzels

Another blizzard hit Brooklyn... schools closed, and Momma and Daddy got to stay home from work. We decided to stay warm and cozy inside baking pretzels! Grahm enjoyed mixing, but did not enjoy rolling the sticky dough. Worth the work, they were delish! If you want the recipe from Alton Brown, you can find it here.
