I want to go home to Grandma's house

Nathan's first words after our trip to San Diego were (said in a very whinny voice) "I want to go home to Grandma's house". Pop laughed and poor Nana cried. It was a long trip back and it's been almost 5 days since we've been home and Nathan's schedule is still turned upside down. The extra hour change this weekend didn't help either. But it was entirely worth the difficult week this week because we had a fantastic time and we can't wait to go again. Grandma had everything ready for us including a room full of toys and dress up gear for Nathan. We hit the aquarium, zoo, seaworld, parks and managed to squeeze a trip up to L.A. to see Jackson and Greer. Jackson's parents hosted us which was so nice of them especially since it was mid-week and Greer's parents had us over for a lovely lunch and even took time off work to accommodate our crazy schedule. We got to meet Gavin and see Gabriel again and Nathan really enjoyed all their toys and especially Gavin's motorcycle! Nathan also got to see his first girlfriend (they still enjoy a long distance relationship) Eliza, who came all the way from chilly Montreal to see Nathan at the zoo (okay, they happened to be visiting family in SD the same week we were) and all in all it was a wonderful week seeing family and friends and enjoying some much needed sunshine.

What's Babs Doing?

The question of the weekend was "What's Babs doing?" or "Where did Pete go?" The semi-annual Babsapalozza was held in lovely Meriden CT in mid-February. We had a fantastic time and spent most of our 24 hours there in the heated pool. Cammi, Nicholas and Nathan got along very well and all enjoyed snacking on veggie sticks. Marissa and Gillian bumped baby girl bellies and got lots of therapeutic back relief from the pool. The SU boys however greatly disappointed their brothers by not having a single drink all weekend. A big thanks to Babs and Mrs. Babs for getting us the rooms and organizing the trip. We can't wait for the next trip though we may need more room with the addition of a baby Miller and baby Novello. Connecticut is lovely in mid-February and we highly recommend it.
