Richmond Visit

We took the boys to visit family in Richmond last weekend. It was Jackson's first flight and first time meeting his great parents (GG's parent's), Nanny & Papa. It was a great weekend and the boys behaved very well on both flights, except for the small delay on the return that caused us to sit on the runway for a bit, and therefore having to stall food/bottles etc! The culprit, more snow in NY - surprise!
It was so nice to spend time with everyone, including GG, Russell & Michael. Nanny was in great spirits and we send our well wishes that she is feeling good and enjoying her seemingly endless slew of visitors. Papa was a great help with the boys and willingly gave Jackson several bottles.Everyone bonded nicely! Michael is always a huge help with Shane. If only we had an 8 year old neighbor to keep him as preoccupied as Michael can. We were also able to enjoy a basketball game of Michael's and included a short video below for his Dad in Grenada to see.

And a special shout-out to our biggest die-hard blog fan, T. You made the site buddy!!!

Gearing up for spring....

Will the snow ever end??? Not soon enough it seems but while passing the time, Jackson has been doing some new fun things. He likes to read the kindle with dad, has really taken a liking to his new shoes, enjoys an occasional stroll indoors in the radio flyer wagon and outdoors in the sled with big bro Shane. And Shane, who has never been a fan of the snow has gotten quite used to spending hours outside watching Mom shovel. He finds this to be quite amusing and serves as a great time-waster after school when we need it most. As a follow-up to our last post, we are not moving!!! Great news for us!!
