plant

Since I was posting about the bouquet, I decided to go full on dork mode and share a pic or two of my favorite plant on our porch (or deck, or balcony, or terrace, or whatever it is!). 

It's a happy plant:

Pabbi Rocks!

Markus Kari's Crown

Our dear friend Amanda from Boston (or now it's Natick!) sent Markus a lovely handmade on-of-a-kind crown for his birthday. First of all, let me say just how impressed I am at her handiwork! Secondly, Markus says "takk!". Since he isn't a big fan of hats, it was a fun surprise how much he really enjoyed wearing it...he loved it! Here's some proof below:

AWESOME

You gotta love it when these little ones start talking more. It is an absolutely amazing experience. Here's some footage of just that...and some questionable Lady/James action ;)

   

Trip to Central Park Zoo

We spent a bit of our Labor Day Weekend on a trip to Central Park with a stop at the zoo. This was Markus' first time at a "big kids" zoo where he truly enjoyed seeing all of the animals. It was a lovely day with Pabbi, Mamma and Amma :)

Markus Kari at the Water Park

One thing that has to be said for Hoboken is that it has an abundance of really great playgrounds for the kiddies. One, in particular, that is very popular in the summer months is the Madison water playground. It gets annoyingly crowded during the mornings and earlier afternoons with many of the area summer programs making use of the facilities to occupy their time.

Here is a video of Markus having some good times there the other day:
