First day of "School" - Go the Giants

I do not like the Giants and this is the first time in my life that I was routing for the Giants to pull out a win- anyone against New England. I think I dislike NE as much as I do the fish. Anyway, Erin was there to cheer on the Giants as much as I was. She demonstrated her true spirit by wearing her Jets jersey - it was the first time that I put it on her. There never was an opportunity in the Jet season to see a reason. It seems that we have another Jet fan in the family.

Erin also started her first day at "School" - daycare. They call it school which is fitting as they charge a tuition. She only goes two days / week - M-Th and so far it's been good for her. Although she's already brought home a stomach virus and we're now both battling a cold.

The backpack is tiny but it looks huge on her- I make her carry it all the way into the building - NO.

Featherdale- Again !

During the school break I try to do something with my nieces and this break Maddie wanted to go to Featherdale - again. It was an extremely hot day so the animals weren't too active but that didn't stop Erin from trying to pet them all - except....the Koala ? The most docile of all the animals and she was terrified but thought the wallabies were dogs. Go figure.

The baby Emus were very aggressive and Erin didn't mind them at all when they munched on her ice cream cone full of dry petting zoo pellets - Erin didn't like the taste of them.

Erin and I make one final pose - she's so proud of herself, she's such a ham.

Christmas Past

OK OK - It's been a LONG LONG time since my last post and I have a lot of catching up to do. So for starters let me just post some pictures from Christmas day. Erin is still a bit young to understand but every morning we would go visit the "tree". She would ask to see the tree first thing in the morning so on Christmas she was very excited to see that it had presents. Next year will be even better. I'll let the pics tell the story.



These next two pictures are my favourite from the day. She received a new ride-on from my brother, Mike and sister-in-law Debbie. She her excitement on the first ride.

Well is soon ended with the CLASSIC first wipe-out. That's my girl !!! (Paul thought she needed to go faster !)
