Catching Up...Again!
It has been a while since we did an update on the events of our family. There is so much to update! We have been busy with the potential sale of our home and the packing that goes along with it. Throw in baseball games and lots of practices and a trip to Disney World and it is non-stop around here!
W's baseball team - the Yankees- celebrated an undefeated season this past weekend. They were awarded their Championship 5-6 year old trophies on Saturday. That is undefeated - for now. The mighty Yankees will face off against their own moms on Tuesday. The world will know where W did NOT get his baseball instinct! Lest you think that baseball season is over and we are settling in for a relaxing summer - All Star practice starts tomorrow...
K wrapped up her first year of ballet at the end of April with a small recital at the church where she takes lessons. She has acquired much grace over the past year and I am very happy with all she learned. The recital was beautifully themed "A Child's Garden of Verses". She keeps asking to play soccer.
We started the month of May with a week long trip to Disney World with Nan & Pop and Janny, all crammed into our van for 12 hours of driving each way. Nan & Pop treated us to a great resort outside of the parks. We had a great time visiting the parks for 6 days in a row. Surprisingly, the kids really loved EPCOT - even more than Magic Kingdom this time. W rode many more rides this time that when we went 2 years ago, but K wasn't quite as fearless as she was last time. We accomplished 51 rides and shows for the week and obtain autographs of many key characters. Another highlight of the trip was the "World's Most Unique McDonald's" near Universal Studios.
We are still in limbo regarding our move to the new house- still waiting on the purchaser of our current house to get in all of his paperwork even though the closing was scheduled for a week ago today. Hopefully our next update will be a resolution one way or another.

New York City
Westside from the Hudson River Midtown.
A recent business trip took me to the Big Apple. I got to ride the ferry over to the City and got a quick tour through Times Square. That night our hotel was in Queens right across from Shea Stadium. (It's tough to take a good picture with a camera phone at night.)
K's big day
K had a lot of fun at her ballet recital, but she had even more fun eating the cupcakes that she helped make for the reception.
