Treats Came Early This Halloween

We kicked off our Halloween celebration early this year. Jackson donned his Train Man costume as we hit a strip mall in Cooper City for trick or treating. He got lots of candy, got an up close tour of a fire truck and hung out with Nana. What a great day!

A Date with Elmo

Jackson thoroughly enjoyed seeing Sesame Street Live last week. He especially loved watching Elmo sing and dance.

He also got to hang out with his friend, Victoria.

We're getting in the Halloween spirit!

Train Days

During our trip to Baltimore last month, we spent a lot of time with trains. We watched trains, rode trains, talked about trains, made train noises and dreamed of trains.

That's life with a 2-year-old!

Here is a little video of our visit to the B & O Railroad Museum and our ride on the light rail train.

Enjoy!

For the Great Grandparents

Jackson followed in a long line of kids, grandkids & great-grandkids when we were in Baltimore last week.

He bolted for the basement of my grandparents house and headed for the pool table.

The result is in the video. And I know it will put a smile on my grandparents' faces.

40? Yes, 40.

We celebrated my 40th birthday in Baltimore this past weekend.

What a party!

Family and friends came from all over to help me celebrate and I was thrilled, honored and deeply gratified.

I know that a lot of people put a tremendous amount of time, energy and effort into the party and I am forever thankful. There was a walk down memory lane with old photos and memorabilia -- including a Superman leotard costume that I'm told I wore for Halloween when I was a kid. I must have blocked that out.

I am blessed to have such a generous and loving family -- and there were gifts aplenty. One of them was a replica Orioles jersey of my favorite Oriole, Eddie Murray.

All in all, maybe 40 isn't so bad!
