"I Go To Hampshire Mama! See Da Goyals!"


Christopher and I are "on the road again" this Friday! We are heading to "Hampshire to see da goyals". Christopher is already packed. He had to pack a couple of days ago. We were on our way home from Wal*Mart when he started having a mini-meltdown. "I go to Hampshire Mama! I see da goyals. I miss dem!" So, of course I told him that we were going to Hampshire in five days, which meant absolutely nothing to him. "NO! Go dat way" and he began to point in the opposite direction that I was driving. Anyone who has attempted logic on a toddler knows exactly what happened next. Anyway, finally, I decided to try another method so that I could hear myself think on the way home. I said "we haven't packed our suitcase yet. We need to pack first". So, obviously, the second we got in the door, he was headed upstairs to pack his suitcase. After attempting to get all of his warmer clothes into his little suitcase, he said "Mama, I need big suitcase!" Needless to say, the packed suitcase has been sitting by the front door ever since!

I will be in NH from September 26th through October 5th. So, there will be no posts during that time!




Here are a couple pictures from our latest trip to Busch Gardens.

Home Again, Home Again!


What a trip. It started off badly; when at Toronto airport, Colin grabbed my luggage without realizing that it was partially unzipped, and one of my hair care products had not been screwed back together properly after inspection and it was spilling all over the place. Things only got worse when we got to our destination and I realized that many items were missing; from my speciality coffee to my cell phone charger and camera battery charger!!! ARRRRRRR. But the weather was just beautiful. It was a little stressful at times...travelling with a toddler...but he handled himself quite well for the most part, throughout the many family dinners at crowded restaurants (even falling asleep in his high chair at one such event!) He has really come out of his shell and was quite entertaining! Home at last. Time to RELAX!! Check out the slideshow above and the video below!!!!

Greetings From Toronto!



We are having a great time in Toronto. The weather has been great. Unfortunately, I expected it to be a little cooler than it has been and I actually found myself in Walmart yesterday buying shorts and flip-flops...CRAZY huh? When I think about how many I have at home and I didn't bring any! Another lesson learned I guess!

Colin gave me some great news yesterday...he has a conference in Vermont the last week of September so, I am going to visit the girls and HOPEFULLY, drag him over to NH for at least a day!! YAY!

I will write more when I get back and, of course, share some pictures. We took Christopher to the Metro Zoo yesterday and had a great time. We got some really great pictures and we saw the most amazing grizzly bear. Yikes. He was HUGE!!

Stay tuned!
