Central Park Zoo

 We saw the Sea Lions and the Rain Forest

 Then Charlie found a stage where he performed a story for us. It involved a giant squirrel, eyeballs, and running away.  We need to work on our character development and plot sequence a little bit.  

 Then we played in some turtle shells and went home.

Central Park Merry-Go-Round

NYC

At the beginning of April vacation Charlie and I went to NJ to visit Auntie Gretchen.  

There certainly was a lot to see.  

 This boy was ready to play.  

Auntie Gretchen Claus Came

Thanks!

 Thanks for inviting us Auntie Gretchen and Thanks mom for braving the drive down with me.  

Thomas… I hear him!

After some lunch we walked over to see the Thomas show.  Charlie could hear the subway trains near by and the whole walk was saying " Thomas…I hear him!"  He got pretty into the show after about 10 minutes.  Then he and Gretchen waited in line to see Thomas but as soon as they got to the stage it was a no go.  I said " you waited 30 min for your picture with Thomas and you are getting your picture with Thomas" so that was that.  He is as far away from it as he could get . I guess we won't be in any rush to go to Disney to see the characters.  

Thanks Everyone!

 Thanks for a Great Christmas everyone

Gossip Mags

Charlie got to catch up on his gossip  and pop culture while Auntie Gretchen babysat.  Baer and I got to go out to dinner. What a treat! 

Taking a Break

 Auntie Gretchen was able to take a break from her duties at the event to hang with us and show Charlie around.  

Happy Birthday Gretchen

Our favorite Sister/Sister-in-law/Aunt had her "30th" birthday last week  

We were lucky enough to all get together to celebrate what a fabulous person she is and show her how happy we are to have her in our life.  

Charlie loved all the snuggles.  

We went to the Rustic Kitchen to celebrate.  

Thanksgiving Morning

 Charlie started his morning with his Auntie Gretchen seeing the beginning of the Macy's Day Parade

Watch Out NASA

 Charlie loves his Solar System Playmat and we love it because he will lay they long enough for us to eat dinner ( really quickly)
