Catching Up on Some Old Videos - Part I

I like to think I do a pretty good job of keeping up w/ pictures, but there is no doubt that I do a terrible job keeping up with the videos we take...  So, here's a few links, in no particular order.

Disney World -- Animal Kingdom Pics

One of the parts of the trip to Disney that SZL and I were looking forward to the most was Animal Kingdom -- b/c neither of us had ever been there before.   The safari was a lot of fun -- obviously, not quite the same as 10 days in Krueger, but, fun all the same.

Outer Banks 2009 (Part II)

We just got some great photos from SZL's cousin Sandi -- who we spent the week with in the Outer Banks back in late August / early September.    Considering the weather I can view from my office window at the moment, I think we'd all give anything for another week on the Beach.

Hi Daddy - don't I look cute.

Walt Disney World -- Columbus Day Weekend

Last week, we decided to take CWL down to Disney and Orlando for one last 'hurrah' as an only child, considering that #2's arrival is getting closer and closer by the minute.    We flew down on a Thursday, spent a few days at the parks and had an overall awesome time.

Some of the highlights included:

• Dinner at T-Rex at the Disney Marketplace, which CWL just loved
• A full-day on Friday at Magic Kingdom, including going back at night for Mickey's "Not So Scary Halloween Party" with its own parade and fireworks show and trick or treating in the Magic Kingdom (with about 40% of folks in full-up costumes)
  
• Our first trip to Animal Kingdom -- safari and access to characters was pretty sweet.   He loved the Lion King show, but fell asleep during Nemo.
• A return visit to Magic Kingdom for the traditional parade -- including high fives from Goofy & Peter Pan, a point and blown kiss from Cinderella & a full smack on the cheek (with lipstick marks to prove it) from Snow White
• Every ride on "Mickey's train"
• A fun day at Sea World, including Shamu, and a special Halloween show w/ Elmo and Friends
• A nice hotel we just happened to stumble upon that had a full-sized Pirate Ship in the pool

Special thanks to one of my oldest friends Alicia A and to my friends at J3 for their help with the trip!

I'll post more highlights when we get the videos up, but the pictures are fantastic.    Click here to view the full slideshow.

CWL is ready for aunt Kelley's wedding!

Carter's ready for October baseball!

Carter Visits GM and GP Lange

Carter and I had a chance to visit my parents last weekend on Long Island... he had a lot of fun!

Stacey @ Week 25 and 26

Baby is Coming... Baby is Coming!

Stacey's doing great -- tired, but doing great. Here's a preview from Weeks 25 and 26.

Pumpkins / Apples / Raspberries & Stacey's Birthday

Busy weekend as we kickoff the month of October... In fact, it started last weekend (as you'll see some of the random pictures of Carter throwing beads.) While it may look like he's practicing for Mardi Gras, in fact, he's just enjoying some of the party favors from his Aunt Kelley's bridal shower weekend.

Fast forward to this weekend -- pumpkin picking @ Milky Way Farm in Chester Springs; followed by an early morning celebration of Stacey's birthday (including his poses for her favorite gift -- a Snuggie), then a trip out to Frecon Farms in Boyertown for PYO apple & raspberry picking with GP and GM Zagol.

Fun times all around!

September 2009

Generally, we've been slacking of late on the blog. September was a month that just flew by for all of us -- coming back from the OBX, heading to Charlottesville twice for two UVa football games (don't ask -- they were rough), Carter's first day of pre-school, plus a man-trip for Carter and his Dad to the Philadelphia Zoo.

Enjoy!
