Time flies!!!

Time is definitley flying by! It's almost been a month since I last blogged. I knew it would be this way this Fall though. Between life in general and family visits, our time is pretty full. I can't remember much of what happened before mom came to visit, except a fun afternoon at Sesame Place. Thanks to 'friends day' and Kristina and Evan inviting us to join them at Sesame Place, we enjoyed a fun afternoon riding rides and scavenger hunting. Thanks Zirschky's! Joshua rode his first roller coaster and loved it!

My mom flew in last Wednesday. Nate had agreed to marry a former youth, so on Thursday we all packed up and headed South to the Shore. It was a great trip! Fun to reconnect with all our friends there. We even got in on a crab feast! Yum! We headed home Sunday morning so we would have at least one full day back here with mom. She flew out on Tuesday. The kid's sure love having their grandparents around. Grandma played lots of chase and hiding games with the kid's. Jenna sqealing with delight was a common sound. Joshua also had lots of fun 'locking' Grandma up in his big box. Grandma's a good sport!

Nate is just plain busy, but takes it all in stride. I'm just enjoying the beautiful Fall weather here and the changing of seasons, and my kids and my husband and my girlfriends and having family visit... Joshua continues to enjoy Pre-K, and Jenna is in full blown toddlerhood. Here we go! So all in all we're great! Hope all who read this are just as well! Blessings - Janel


Pick'n crabs! Joshua loves them just as much as mom and dad

Not only was there an evening of crab pick'n, but there was guitar pick'n as well!

Cute pictures! If my memory serves me correctly, the middle year is tough because they get so busy with so many different things - we always enjoyed those moments of break when they came along (and the easy year of senior year, well, easy minus the new baby...).

Enjoy NJ in the fall!
