Weekend in NY

We had a packed weekend in NY and got to see a lot of old friends that we unfortunately don't get to see that much. It started with a stop at Grandpa's house. We went there for Granny Gert's Memorial service which was really nice. And got to spend a little bit of quality time with Grandpa.


We were then off to Saratoga to see the latest addition to the Clarkson babies clan......
Vanessa Mercedes Blanco. She is of course beautiful and it was wonderful to see how happy her parents are (oops, I didn't get any pics of them!). We were able to go with them on their first venture to eat at a restaurant. Big stuff for new parents.




We stayed with our friends the Mittlers. As you can see a lot of playing was done at their house with Julia. And we got to meet their new little girl Mackenzie.




THEN, to top off the weekend, we stopped in Troy to see our friends the Tichy's and to meet Kay. As you can see here, Rich and Kay became instant friends. We were most impressed with the fact that Kay's Daddy (Graham) could play guitar. So we had a live kiddie concert while the Moms got to catch up!

Singing the ABC's

So I finally got it on camera although it isn't his best effort. For those of you who have been around us recently, you know how Rich sings the ABC song ALL DAY LONG. It is obviously his favorite song and he is really good at it! In this video he misses a lot of the letters because he does not want to be taped. But he literally knows all the letters and the ending. I guess he was developing his verbal skills when he was sitting on his bottom for all those months NOT crawling. This was taken this morning and I had to bribe his with a cookie. It was only 9 am, but it was the only way I could get him to do it for the camera.

An absolutely beautiful day for my Angela Jane!  She looked absolutely gorgeous and she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.  She celebrated with her family and then with friends who feel like family now.  We are truly blessed! Brunch with family at Monica's and then a bbq at the Crocini's. How cute is she with her bbf's?!?!?!

Celtics courtside!!

Image
At 5:00 Chris got a call from a customer (who happens to live across the street), asking if we wanted his seats for the pre-season Celtics game tonight.  Of course we do!  Yes, it was the first game of the World Series and the Red Sox were playing, but you still can't beat going to a game. Chris had a feeling this guy had good seats, but when we arrived at Row A the kids were ecstatic.  Courtside, directly behind the players seats!  It was so awesome!   They were just feet from us and they were huge.  We could hear the plays they were going to run and then watched them run them.  Angela didn't love the seats because we were almost too close and she had trouble seeing over the 6'7" players!  The game was on ESPN and we were so close to the court that we were also on TV a lot.  My Mom was able to tell me what we were wearing because she watched it.  I found a quick link below.  You can see how close we were. ...
