We had a blast with our family birthday party. Austie’s first soccer tournament with her new team, Strikers, was today so everyone cheered her on in the 102° weather! Almost everyone packed in to the RV for a fun commute. Happy birthday to my little baby girl. Love you so much! xoxoxo Dada

After First Day of School
Poor Gage! He really didn’t like the duration of the school day. “It’s too long!”
Dada in Japan
I went to Tokyo, Japan for a business trip 8/29-9/4/16. This is my third time but my last trip was in Dec 2009 so it’s been almost 7 years. I forgot a lot but quickly became familiar as I explored the train, neighborhoods, convenient stores, restaurants and other activities. This time, it was summer in Tokyo and a very hot and humid one with typhoons nearby when I arrived and when I departed. Below are some pictures to capture some of the action. Until next time, Tokyo…$B$8$c$M!*(B
Last Day at the Pool 2016
Labor Day 2016
Last day at the Metuchen Pool. Cooler weather & cold water but that didn’t stop these guys from jumping in! Austen is a proficient swimmer and is very comfortable in the water, diving, flipping, sliding, whatever. A few weeks ago, Austen shared some swimming tips with Gage. Since then, he’s improved significantly!! He can go under water, flip and became comfortable with his strokes. That gave him the confidence to take on the diving board. Despite my fear and concern, Gage had no problem with the diving board and continues to improve with comfortable swimming, with great help from big sister, Austen. It’s been a great summer with huge swimming progress! I think I also got a little better although still not close to the little water monkeys. My goal next summer is go dive in. I feel a little worried just thinking about it!! 🙂 Dada
Fondue!
Pile of Clothes?
Look closer. It’s Army napping under Gage’s swim shirt.
Inseparable
In between the fighting, they constantly look for each other. Where’s Austie? What’s Gage going? Siblings and BFFs!
Sleepover Furnishing
1 guest. 3 mattresses. 79 stuffed animals.
Sleepy Li’l Guy
Gage quickly fell asleep in a taxi on the way to the airport for our Spain trip. Austie lovingly leaned his head onto her shoulder.
