The first few days of the trip we were covered in snow and Farmingdale was recovering from the storm. We hung low at the house, played outside, and of course at lots of delicious pizza. Grandma Barbara was staying at my parents house too while we were there and it was so nice to see her and spend time with her. We don't get to just hang out with her as much in the summer because it is so busy and crazy with people and we don't stay at the same house. She was in the hospital for a few days before we got there and mom sprung her from the hospital just as the snow was starting. We were glad she was back, and so was Gilgo. Colt started calling every dog "Gilgo" and chasing them all around. He especially loved Izzy and Gilgo, the two that don't like him at all. I think Izzy came to tolerate him because she figured out that if she sat near his highchair, he would throw her food. They had an agreement, then she would let Colt pet her every once in a while!
Rachel and Grandma Barbara doing some reading.
It was Richie's birthday the day he and Erin arrived. We slacked on making a cake so he got donuts with candles! Happy 27th birthday Rich!
Sledding on a beautiful day. We found a perfect hill that was just big enough for fun but just small enough that they girls could walk back up by themselves.
Double decker!
Getting everyone ready to go!
Trying the triple decker, lets see how it goes....
Uh-oh, losing it....
Gone!
They all had lots of fun, even if they didn't like a ride or two! Even Eric. It was a beautiful day and great sledding for 3 year olds. Hannah could have used a bigger hill but still she had fun. Just another fun thing these kiddos got to to while in New York this winter. They are already asking if there will be snow next time we go.
Eric loved it since it was his first time sledding. Colt liked it ok some of the time. Livy loved it and Rachel like it as long as no one was sitting on her. In jam packed ride Livy was sitting on her legs so she wasn't happy!
Surprise! We had a surprise baby shower for Erin while we were in New York on Richie's birthday. We said we were going out to eat and then, surprise, it was a shower. Rich went to celebrate his birthday with the guys and some friends playing some pool and eating. Erin got lots of blankets, some outfits, and lots of gift cards! She got an awesome little Northeast Builders shirt from the Lostrittos and it is adorable (that is dad's company). We had a great turn out and we were so happy that everyone made it. Thanks for making it a great shower everyone!
