On our way.

We scheduled an afternoon flight out of Newark so that we wouldn\’t have to rush Quinn out of the house in the morning and we could take our time saying goodbye and making sure everything was settled.  It really worked out nice.  Until we landed at LAX on a Friday at 5 pm.  Traffic anyone?

After a long trip to the hotel and a long nap for Quinn at 5 pm, we ate dinner nearby, and crashed.  Well except Quinn who was well rested after his nap.  I set him up in a chair with his iPad and earphones and set my alarm for midnight.   By that point he was ready for sleep.

This morning we are chilling, texting with friends, running errands, and starting this new chapter in our lives.

This past week we have said lots of good-byes.  I\’m not sure that we will miss NJ but we will certainly miss all the special friends we have made over the last 4 1/2 years.

Sunday:  we had our last NJ dinner out with the Mirzwa Family.  These boys are going to miss each other but we promised to write letters and skype.

Tuesday:  a drop off playdate with some of Quinn\’s best buddies from school.

Wednesday:  a day at the park with his best girlfriends from his first and second year at Sundance.  I love these kids and their moms.

Thursday:  gymnastics and lunch with the twins.  These two always make me smile.

Also on Thursday one last hug from Marleny.  She has been such a part of our family over the last 4+ years and we will all miss her.  Fortunately we think the new owners of the house will keep her on and they are expecting a baby on September 15!

We have made so many great memories in this house.

The McGee\’s made their farewell visit to NJ last weekend.  As usual, a weekend full of laziness and laughter.

Let\’s just say Apple products played a prominent role in our weekend 🙂

On Friday we were planning to go to the beach but had a last minute inspection scheduled for 3:30 pm.  So instead these two stayed in their pajamas all day cuddled on the couch trading ipads.  One of the funnier moments was caught watching a you tube video.

Let\’s just say if you\’re not amused by Yoda and farting move on you must.

We finally got out of the house and are on our way to the beach with beach chairs strapped to the roof, Jersey Style.

We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon in Long Branch.  Nothing like having your toes in the sand.

This boy was getting hammered by the waves.

Then stand up and take it again and again.

Sullivan is just so great with Quinn and he just loves her.
