Happy Halloween.

We celebrated Halloween up in New Jersey since we were headed to NYC for Glenn's marathon. Our friend Paul's mom lives in NJ so we had dinner and trick-or-treated in her neighborhood on Friday night. I wasn't sure if Lincoln would get it, but he LOVED it and was such a good boy. He would even get a piece of candy for his friend, Gwen, when she was too shy to come to the door. I was so proud of him.

Our little pumpkin gave us some of her best smiles to date on Halloween too! Love those first smiles.

 These pics will definitely be a part of their wedding slide show some day.

 Maya was helpful at holding the extra candy!

 Love our little fireman!

4th of July

We kept things pretty simple for the 4th this year. With an impending hurricane, we weren't really sure how the weather was going to turn out, but after a rainy morning, the day was beautiful! We spent the long weekend at the beach, bbqing with friends and we even made it to the fire works with Lincoln. It was a relaxed family-fun weekend.

Easter Pics

My girlfriend Janel took these for fun and because she's fabulous. Love my little guy!

October 2013

 Our little man was Clark Kent for Halloween thanks to a cute little onesie from his aunt and uncle! I dressed up like Sandy from Grease and Glenn was Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory. Maybe next year we'll get it together and have a family costume! We had fun handing out candy to the kids who came to the house (not so much to some parents who asked for candy too!)

 Lincoln wasn't too impressed with the pumpkins. It's one of my favorite traditions so I hope he enjoys it next year!

I love the fall and it seemed to go by too quickly as it always does! Hard to believe I'm typing this while listening to Christmas music. 2013 where did you go?!

Happy Independence Day!

I can't wait to celebrate with my family! Have a wonderful day!

A Weekend of Firsts!

First time on a boat. First time meeting his aunt and uncle. First baseball game! A wonderful 3 day weekend!

My First Mother's Day

Mother's day was pretty low key and it was great. I just wanted to spend time with my family. I did ask Glenn to put shelves in one of the closets for me, though. "Doesn't sound very mother's day-y to me". My response was, "Organizing AND home improvement/DIY". Sounds like me. So we did do that.

And he made me french toast. Something he knows that I love, but he's not a huge fan so we don't have it very often. Thanks love.

My only other request was that Glenn take a few pictures of Lincoln and I on my first mother's day.

I think they're pretty cute. Mostly cause my baby is pretty cute, in my opinion. :)

Yes, I matched our outfits and yes, his shirt has anchors on it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We celebrated in Oceanview, like last year, with the St. Patrick's day parade. Although this year required a little more gear in the way of strollers, blankets and burp clothes and less beer and Jell-O shots.

It rained during kegs and eggs but Lincoln and I hid out in a friend's mini van. The rain stopped just before the parade started and it was warm and sunny most of the day!

It's always great people watching! We headed to a friends' house that is a short walk from the parade route and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon.

Unfortunately, a stomach bug was shared at the party as well. So far, we are all still healthy... Hoping it stays that way! Especially since Lincoln and I are on our own for the next 2 weeks. Daddy is headed to Florida for work.

Hope you had a good weekend too!

New Years Party

We went to our friends', Dave & Cara, house for New Year's this year. It was low key and casual and so much fun! We drank, played games and counted down the New Year together.

I'm slightly terrified about giving birth to this bucket head's son.  He broke the hat to get it to fit on his giant head!

Thanks for hosting Oeshsleins!

Dave, Steve, Ben, Glenn and Alex

 



One of my new favorite party/group games- Left, Right, Center. I need to get this game and play with my family next time we are together- even my nephew could play. Plus winning a little money is always a good time!

Happy 2013, love. It's going to be a crazy, wild and exciting year.
