“A Wish Come True”

IMG_1062

I was out of the house for quite a while on Monday night for the monthly meeting at the firehouse. Upon returning home, after 9:30, Tony was still awake and Enzo was relaxing in his swing.

Mommy had promised Tony that he could stay up until Daddy got home, but once I was home, it would be time for bed. For once, Tony did not argue heading upstairs. 

I walked through the door and told Tony it was time for a diaper change and for him to say goodnight to Mommy and Baby Enzo. 

I went upstairs to put clean sheets on his mattress and asked Mommy to send him up after he said goodnight. Tony, as usual, conned his mother into carrying him up the stairs.

Yesterday was Halloween and Tony had a blast, after an unexpected meltdown.

We went to Grandmom and Poppi’s house in Marlton so Tony could trick-or-treat. Tony was going to dress as a fireman and Enzo was going to dress as his dalmatian.

Let’s back-up a couple of hours to Thursday night, mischief night. We had dinner and went to Nonna’s house so Tony could throw some toilet paper in the bushes and spray silly string on the front porch.

Then, we headed to Palmyra to watch their annual Halloween parade. Tony enjoyed the floats, the dogs in costumes and especially seeing the ambulances and fire trucks.

Tony and Enzo Hit the Pumpkin Patch Twice in as Many Days

Pumpkin Patch 2014

Good morning everyone. It has been a long time since we have updated the site. Life gets in the way sometimes, especially when you have two children in the house and have to write for clients on a daily basis. Hopefully we can begin updating the site on a daily basis like earlier this summer.

We are going to backtrack a little bit here and move to the middle of the month of October, when Tony and Enzo got the chance to visit Conte Farms in Tabernacle for a hayride and some pumpkin picking.

The family got together on a Saturday in the middle of the month to hit the pumpkin patch, which was the first visit for Enzo.

All Aboard! Tony and Enzo Ride the Rails at Strasburg

On Saturday, we decided to take Tony and Enzo to Ronks, PA for a visit to the Strasburg Rail Road. Tony had been on the train before, right around the time he was six-months old, but today sure was fun!

It was Tony’s first real train ride, outside of the smaller trains on the Ocean City boardwalk, and he absolutely loved it. We rode the rails for a good 45 minutes, a 9-mile round trip all told, and then walked across the street to visit the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

The station was bustling today as Thomas and Percy came for a visit for the first time since the month of June. We did not get the chance to ride on the trains pulled by either one of these engines, but we did ride the traditional steam engine at Strasburg.

A Night of Excitement for Tony with Rides and Real Fire Trucks

Wednesday night began pretty inauspiciously. We loaded the boys in the car and went to Smitty’s Clam Bar in Somers Point for dinner. It was our first visit to our favorite seafood spot at the shore all summer. 

The wait was not long for a table, just 30 minutes, so we took Tony to the back of the property to look at all the boats on the bay. We enjoyed the breeze and were called inside after just 15 minutes. 

This was Enzo’s first visit to the Clam Bar, but I don’t know if we can count it as an official one since his eyes were closed the entire time we were there. The food was spectacular as usual and after we finished, we loaded the boys in the car once again and started towards the Ocean City boardwalk.
