Day 2 - Bronxville

On Sunday, we headed to Bronxville to reminisce about our college days and say hello to Catherine's parents. Concordia has done some awesome renovations in the dorms and library, so it was fun to see. Jonas has officially been to Mommy's college, so he had his picture taken with the alumnae.


For lunch we went to Piper's Kilt, the best burgers in town. We had many laughs when our parents came to visit at that restaurant.


And of course, Jonas had to go to Mommy's favorite spot in town, Haagen Daaz. We enjoyed some ice cream sundaes before hitting the road.

Long Island!

Over the weekend, Jonas, Grandma S, and I went to Long Island to visit Catherine and Erik. Jonas was perfect the whole trip, and had a great time trying to chase around their kitty. On Saturday, we went to the Maritime Festival. This is the museum that was there. It had lots of really cool boats and things from a long time ago. You would have to be a pretty big person to drive this boat!


If you look in the background of this picture, you can see pirates. There was a pirate show that we caught the end of, with real explosions and everything.


This is taken after we got home, but Jonas is playing with a pull-toy helicopter that Grandma got him at the craft fair. Of all the toys in the stand, Jonas cracked up at this one every time.


After the festival we went over to West Sayville to walk around the shops and be in air conditioning (It was hot!). Jonas rode this bus for 50 cents...he wasn't too impressed though, I gotta admit.


After a long day, Jonas was ready to have a bath and go to bed.

Painting!

Jonas and Bethany had a great time painting at Aunt Lisa's house! I think we may have a couple Picasso's on our hands!



Cute Baby

Just a random cute picture from the last couple of weeks.

Vacation!!

On Saturday the family headed up to the Thousand Islands for a vacation on Black Lake. We spent the week relaxing, eating, and visiting with the Herdleins. Jonas really got into the camping spirit. Every day there was a different themed "happy hour". Jonas sat back in a camping chair to enjoy his snack during the "Hollywood" happy hour.


Jonas' cousins kept him busy by playing with him every chance they got. Jonas loved the attention!


Jonas discovered his tongue while we were on vacation. He stuck it out all week long at people, and when he wasn't sticking it out he was trying to grab it with his fingers.


By the end of the week Jonas was content to just hang out with Daddy in the cabin (which was very nice and air conditioned).


And lastly, Jonas turned 10 months this week! He is turning into an expert crawler and is getting into all kinds of trouble. He is also beginning to try cruising...I have a feeling things are going to move fast from now on.

Party Time!

On Saturday we went to Uncle Bob's and Aunt Kathy's for Katie's grad party. Jonas had a great time playing with his cousin Madeline from California. I don't know if she appreciated his attention too much, but what can you do?


Sleeping Sweetly

Ever since Jonas started crawling, I've found him in all kind of weird positions while he's sleeping.
