January 2009

Well, this month has been very busy. Gammy and Papa came for New Years and we went to the Yorktown. It was so much fun to see the big boat and the airplanes. Although, I was very curious as to why the airplanes do not fly. I did get to sit in one and climbed all over the boat. Mommy can't find these pictures, so there are no pictures from the boat.

I went to my first bowling party for Mitchell and Griffin's birthday. It was fun, although I was definelty more interested in the video games than the bowling. I did alright bowling and hit a good number of pins. It is also nice to be able to eat cake. We had cake another time this month for Daddy's birthday. I helped Mommy write on the cake for Daddy. It was fun singing him Happy Birthday.

We have been busy doing fun things this month. Mommy and Daddy took me to the Amtrak station. I loved being able to watch the train, see the people get on, and watch them take the luggage off. We also went to the beach so I could dig in the sand. I tried to dig a hole big enough for my head. It was still a little chilly, so I did not get to go in the water.

Finally, we went to Savannah and Jacksonville for Aunt Minnie's birthday. It was a long trip, but it was a lot of fun. I played with Elana at Aunt Minnie's and had a very good time getting to know her. It is also always great to see everyone else.

Thanks for catching up with me. Enjoy my pictures.

Happy Chanukah

This Chanukah was so much fun because not only was it Andrew's first holiday, but I actually understand the meaning of Chanukah. It looks like I am learning something from Addlestone. Chanukah is a holiday where the Jewish People, Judah the Macabee fought with the "Gricks" The oil was only supposed to last one day, but it ended up lasting 8. I loved lighting the candles with Mommy, Daddy, and Andrew and singing our songs. Of course, as soon as that was over, I wanted to open presents. I got a Story reader, a computer, a scooter, and a rocket. I could not have asked for a better Chanukah. Mommy was not great at taking pictures, but she did take some. Enjoy!

ECE 3 Art Show

For PM Care, we put on an art show and invited our parents to come and see our creations. Daddy came to see what I had done. My favorite thing for art was to take pictures. I got to go around with the camera and take pictures of different things. I took pictures of trees and different sites around school. I loved taking pictures and art makes me feel good.

Louis' Bar Mitzvah

On December 19, we went to Atlanta for Louis's Bar Mitzvah. I had such a good time playing with all my cousins. I saw Nana, Gammy and Papa, Uncle Seth, Aunt Shannon, and Hayden and all my extended family. I went to a party and I danced and watched the video and made a snake with all of the glow sticks.

The pictures did not come out great, but we wanted to make sure we included some of them. It was so much fun and I cannot wait to go to another Bar/Bat Mitzvah, so I can dance again.

Enjoy!
