Playing Catch Up...

So it's been about 6 months. A lot has happened in the last 5 months. Since so much has happened, I can't include everything, but I will tell you about the major evetns.

The first of which was my second 3rd-birthday party that took place on my actual 3rd birthday (which is my mommy's preferred time of celebrating a birthday). It was on Saturday, November 21, 2009 (man, we're already into April 2010...). The guests were my sitter Lindsay and her wonderful boyfriend Will. Then there were my other two sitters, Tonia & Niki and their mommy. And of course my mommy, daddy, and my little bro Aiden. Lindsay made me a super yummy cake, I received lots of wonderful presents and most importantly, I got lots of love and attention and had a blast

And then we went to stay with my aunt Debbi (daddy's sister) and uncle Kevin (her husband) and my cousin Colin for Thanksgiving. Grandma Phyllis was there and so were Grandpa Phil and Nima Sandy. Thanksgiving was nice enough but the highlight was my third, 3rd birthday party for me. Aunt Debbi went all out to make me a very special party. Grandma Phyllis slaved for hours to make the a Toby birthday cake (Toby is the number 7 Tram engine in the Thomas series). She made it with all the substitue ingredients so that I don't get an allergic reactions. Also, since my mommy won't let us have stuff with food colorings, she squeezed cranberries to make the red on my cake. She really went all out and it was such a perfect and yummy cake. Of course I got lots more presents...

And then winter struck us... mommy and daddy moved to Richmond, VA around 5 years ago. Of course I and Aiden were'nt around yet. Winters here in Richmond have always been pretty mild. But not this one.

And a couple of videos of how baby Aiden learned how to walk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--i8FqgkjRs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RPqucZrOTw

And this is our back yard...

And every once in a while, mommy and daddy will get a sitter and go out.

And after being stuck at home because of the snow for 3 days, we were finally able to get out on the road and go to an inflatable place and have some fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-Y3x30zn_4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFm_bVW5ufE

And in January (the 17th to be exact), my baby brother turned 1. We all couldn't believe that his first year has gone by so quickly. It has been quite a year. He has added so much joy to our lives (even though he sometimes really annoys me). We are so happy to have him in our lives, and we are never giving him up

And then came Pesach (Passover). We joined our wonderful friends the Rifes and dined and read the Hagadah at their home. We are so fortunate to have made such wonderful friend here in Richmond.
