Cape May Bike Ride

Every year we wake up way too early, drive to Cape May, find a parking spot, eat at Uncle Bill's and then go for a bike ride.

Look at mister cool guy -- biking in PJ's with sunglasses on.

Let's get this going

Keep up with Mommy!

Hey Dad. What's that?

Airplane by the lighthouse. Gonna be a great vacation!

Thumbs Up!

Robby's got himself a signature gesture -- the thumbs up.

Playing in the backyard? Thumbs up.

Driving a car at the fair? Thumbs up.

Found a snake on the rock wall? Thumbs up.

We're having a baby girl! Super thumbs up!!

(Look in the center of the picture)

This is gonna be great!

Swim Class!

We've made the transition from swim time with daddy to swim class with the other big kids.

Can you pick out Robby?

Waiting for his turn

Getting in to show his mad kicking skills

Look at him go!

On the noodle

Jumping in

Bring on next week!

Another first day at school

On Tuesday, Robby went to the Tolland Co-op as a student for the first time. That was a 1/2 hour meet and greet session. Today, he had actual class!

He did great. Here he is having his snack time with the other kids

He tells us it was popcorn and water.

Christina and I met him after class so that we could go to the diner for breakfast. There was a line of kids that came scurrying out of school. Robby was so excited he couldn't wait

Scooting right along

He was very, very happy to see us!

We're so proud of our little guy.

Robby at the museum

Saturday, the family went back to the New Britain Museum of American Art. It's a great little museum. Never crowded, easy to get to, easy to navigate, and there's always something fascinating on display. One of  the nicest displays of the year is below, right behind Christina. 

Look behind you, Robby--

Lisa Hoke, The Gravity of Color

Where's Mommy?

That's where mommy is!
