Meet the latest

After weeks, maybe months, of debate we finally took the plunge by adding to our household. Our friend Nicole is always rescuing kittens that need homes so we drove up to Saugerties to pick one out to bring home with us. Graham was very excited about it all, we let him choose the kitty and name it. Somewhere between arriving at Nicole's home/temporary cat foster shelter and leaving we decided that our new kitty would need a friend to keep it company. There were about 6 or 7 kittens to choose from which made it very hard because as everyone knows they don't make 8 week old kittens ugly.

He named them Pedro and Ciriaco after his favorite Red Sox baseball player Pedro Ciriaco. The orange one is Pedro. They have currently taken up residence in my attic studio and are proving to be very entertaining little furballs. They have yet to be introduced to Lucille or our other far more cranky cat Big Fat Ramona. We will keep you posted on the details of that circus when it happens.  

Second 1st Day

Last week was a few days of half day school for some of the kids in Graham's class but not all.  Today is the very first day of full-day back to school action for all. Here is the little man waiting for the school bus in cooler weather clothes. Note that he still has to have his sunglasses.

First day of kindergarten

Today was the first day of school and since Graham goes to a Montessori school he is in the same classroom with the same teachers from last year. They don't really call it kindergarten per se they call it Primary, but he is almost 5 and he'll be going full time and in any other school he would be in K. Whatever you want to call it, I call it "hooray"!!!!!!

 

One happy kid

Here is Graham tonight at his first major league baseball game. This kid is obsessed with baseball. We got a pair of last minute tickets to the Mets-Astros game at Citifield and the excitement shows on his face.

Maine!

Cape Cod

A quick but thoroughly enjoyable 4 days were spent at the Cape this week. The beach was fabulous!

Big Truck Day

It was Big Truck Day at the Cold Spring Library yesterday. Fire trucks, diggers, dump trucks and more  were all there for kids to climb on and play with to their heart's content. As you can see, Graham was having a great time sitting behind the wheels.
