BFF\’s

Quinn and Lucas have developed a really great friendship over the last couple of years.  Their friendship was a little rocky in the beginning with Quinn frequently ending up in tears.  But they\’ve really worked it out and have a great time together.

Lucas has matured and has become quite the peacemaker offering solutions or extending the olive branch when a problem comes up.  And Quinn is a calming influence on Lucas.   They still have their moments but they are far and few between.

Although we\’ve been talking about our move with Quinn for some time, it\’s starting to sink in that he\’s not going to see Lucas all the time anymore.  The other night he was in tears because he was sad about missing Lucas.   So, we are trying to get in lots of Lucas time.

On Wednesday Don took both boys to the Field Station Dinosaur Exhibit by himself.  I sent him along with the camera.  When I asked if he got any good pictures Don said that the boys were making faces in all the pictures.  Yep, they are.  But you can also tell how much fun they are having.

Lately

Don has a little break before he starts his new job.  So why not drive to Red Bank for lunch when you feel like having some Surf Taco.
The boy got a haircut and has a little swag going on.

Quinn loves having his Don around all the time.

A little geocaching.

We are trying to get in lots of time with Quinn\’s BFF\’s Lucas and Kaiden before we go.

Mom took the train up for her last NJ visit.  Friday was a rainy day so we visited the Liberty Science Center.  One exhibit was grossology and it was pretty gross.  I\’ll spare you the details.

Our schedule and the not so great weather has prevented us from getting alot of pool time this summer.  But Saturday was a nice pool day.

Sunday we visited the Bronx Zoo to see their Dinosaur Safari.

Quinn loves the Children\’s Zoo inside the zoo.  He could read all the signs 🙂

Me and my boy.

5 Year Well Visit

Quinn had his 5 year well visit before we shipped off to California.  He is now just about 48 pounds and is 48\” tall!  Based on my own scientific research, that puts him at 95+% for height and around 75% for weight.

California has a much more extensive health form that needs to be completed by the physician for school and fortunately Dr. Lois was able to do that for us.   Here\’s Quinn doing the vision test.   He was quite the trooper being poked and prodded but Dr. Lois knows what she\’s doing and is great with kids.
