To continue....On Tuesday Jack and I returned to CT after a loooong week away, unpacked and got settled back into our apartment. Boy was Daddy happy to see us!! I went back to work Wednesday. Wednesday night my dad arrived from FL to meet Jack and play for a few days. He and Jack hit it off from the start!! Jack showed off his never ending smiles and wide eyes and my dad showed him how to do "so big" with his arms and played the "trot trot to Boston" game on his knees (having Jack pretend he was riding a horse that ends up going crazy :) ). We even took a trip to Toys r us for some spoiling. Jack left with a very cute and cuddly stuffed dog that makes him break into giggles when you bring it up to his face!! We were all hoping that Grandpa brought some of that Florida sunshine with him....but New England prevailed and we were stuck inside for two days because of the rain! :( Our time together went by WAY TOO QUICKLY and I headed back to work on Saturday while Daddy brought Jack RI for the weekend and my dad headed up to Marblehead to visit with some friends and family. Daddy was busy at the condo all weekend with Uncle Dan pulling up the kitchen floor and replacing it to get it ready to rent. Gramma Mary and Auntie Cait got to hang out with Jack!!
On Sunday- Father's Day- Jack gave Daddy a special treat and slept in until 8am!! HAPPY FIRST FATHER'S DAY!! We ended up celebrating more on Monday when we were all back together in CT. It has just been SOOO CRAZY AROUND HERE!! As a treat we all packed up in the car after dinner and headed out to find Shady Glen...a restaurant people at work had been talking about with a signature cheeseburger and homemade ice cream! Just a quick trip into Manchester and we found it. It reminded Tom and I of the Newport Creamery we would both go to in Barrington as children (funny we could have been sitting at booths next to one another the whole time! ). All the waitstaff are on the inside with booths and counter top seating surrounding them. The menu is on the wall and the ice cream sundaes were amazing!! Jack even had a few little tastes....all of which brought a big smile to his face!! A great end to our day...if only it would STOP RAINING!!! On TV they reported that it has rained the last 21 of 22 days in June! INSANE!! We are anxiously waiting for summer to arrive. We can't wait to get Jack in the pool.
Anyway....more craziness to come!! Keep reading, I will try and post more often. I am going to try and add some pictures in the next few days....but my memory card is misbehaving :).
Have a good week!!
