From Coast to Coast

Two weeks ago, I flew out to New Jersey for my cousin Karen's daughter's bat mitzvah (mazel tov Alyssa!).  My parents came with me, while my sweet husband stayed home and painted our entire house.  It was an adventure in flying, navigating TSA (got pretty close to losing it), rental cars, hotels, sick toddlers, and some serious socializing and catching up.  Peter was amazing.  We totally screwed up his sleep schedule and I'm paying for it now, but it was worth it.  I was so glad to get to introduce him to my family and to spend time with everyone.  I craved more time with each one of them, but was happy to get home to a familiar place, Jake's help and a beautifully painted house!

Bright and early at the PDX airport - we felt stellar, let me tell you

Happily watching "Mick Mouse"

Snuggling with "Ant-ih" (aunt Linds)

Playing blocks with Aunt Robbie

Loving some east coast bagels

Playing trucks with Aunt Charna

"tassen (thomas) the train!!" 

Peter is so tired here but can't stop playing with cousin Will and Kyle's toys.

Party time!


Pooped!

Peter Temes, and Peter Temes!  They meet at last!

Cousin Joe!!!  We meet again!

Pushing grandma and grandpa apart so Peter can have a seat between them.  At least he didn't pee on grandpa on the flight home like he did on the flight out ;o)

We survived the trip and came home to a freshly painted house. Thanks for painting Jake and Jay!
