Summer is running out…

Almost two months without a post and summer is about gone. Labor day weekend is upon us and I am heading out to Oregon to visit up with some friends. Owen is becoming a little mad man; loves his motorcycles, bikes and bulldozers. Just taking him for a walk to see a bulldozer is a treat.

Early July we got to head up north to Buck N Bear to relax with the family and have some fun. Creek time, motorbikes, fishing, all the good stuff. Hopefully we get up there before it gets too cold. That same weekend we took a nice drive over to Tuckabuckaway and it was a really scenic drive – I would really like to take that drive during the fall with the peak colors. The biggest news on that leg of the trip was that Owen actually caught his first fish; I did not get a picture of it but I did manage to get a Blairwitch style video of it since I was shorthanded at the time.

Also got to make it down to Delaware to hang out with some friends, play paintball, jump around on the trampoline and ride in the ultimate 4-wheeler/ree nee nee. It took over three laps to get Owen out of it since he kept wanting to go on more laps

Swim classes have been fun, but again a bit rough since the little guy wants to do his own thing and he just quite can’t swim yet, ha. On a side note, Em and I updated our cellphones, the pictures are a bit better than the old ones… you can see those below.

Good bye June, hello summer…

Well it looks like I am just barely getting in one post this month… so now it is photo overload. The summer is a busy one and we are gearing up to head up north to Bucknbear and Tuckabuckaway – shared theme but one is based on deer and the other money. Big news is that Owen is now 18 months old today, June 30th.

Earlier in the month we got down to the shore but I did not get to take too many photos at the beach since I forgot my memory card, oh well. Owen is really not a fan of the beach, he would much rather play with a bucket of water.

Got to meet up with Brett and his family and caught a Phillies game, too bad it was super hot in section 303 – we had to duck into the bar to enjoy the air as no one wanted to stay and get burnt (much like the Phillies did that day by losing in extra innings).

Best part of the month was celebrating my second Father’s day and I enjoyed a wonderful time with Owen and Emily. Early morning breakfast at the diner, then a quick stop to play some hockey and run around the playground, then it was off to the woods to enjoy the dirt and peacefulness of the water on a hot day.

Summer and life is going by quick, there is always work to be done… time to sit back and relax and be thankful of all the good things we have around us.

Sound Machine - for some reason the conversion on this video to flash made it look like a Beastie Boys video, enjoy the babbling creek

Wow

Been a long time, that is for sure. In that time so much has changed as the little guy just amazes us more and more each day. I have said I would update this more in the past and that was negated due to the ease of posting on facebook, but more and more that is taking me a way from my goal of having an online journal.

What has happened since March? The boy got bigger, I caught fish, Mommy finished her goal and the Flyers are getting closer to their goal.

Well March 7th happened a week ago and I wish the weather would have stayed with us, but it is too early for it. The huge snow storm that could have been did not materialize, oh well, right?

We have sprung ahead and everyone is just looking forward to sunny days, or at least warm days to be outside. If it is nice out, we are out.

Snow Day Part III

Getting a bit repetitive… right? More snow, more fun, more pictures and more video. Spring will be extra nice this year, but will it ever show up?
