To say that 2015 was busy should be obvious since we’ve not made an update yet this year! AND what a year so far…
It started with some cold, cold weather, but the snow missed us in January. So we decided to take a trip to the National Air and Space Museum in DC. You had a pretty good time because there was plenty to see and do.
We got hit pretty hard in February with some snow, but we still found time to get out to a birthday party for Ellie Caput (Shaun and Tricia’s daughter). You didn’t have the best of times, but there were a few laughs to be had.
You had a MUCH better time building snowmen in our yard. You actually tried to snuggle one of them and found it to be a pretty bad idea.
Daddy went on a business trip later that month and returned with your very own CEO NAMETAG! You’d asked for it many times and now you were officially the CEO of “Campbell’s Pizza.” You originally shared some troubling ingredients with us, but you’ve settled now on serving pizzas with “goat cheese and double cheese”.
In March daddy travelled to NY again for work (he’s always traveling!) and this time, brought you a name badge lanyard like the ones he uses at Merkle. When he got back, he took your “corporate” picture and made another name tag for you (you’d grown quite fond of them by then.)
The rest of March was a crazy blur between school, swim classes and life. We celebrated Pi Day with a wonderful brownie bottomed sugar free vegan chocolate cheesecake that Mommy made (and you still are getting tickles when you say the word “Pi Pie”).
The most fun thing was traveling to New York together (even though we had to drive through a snow storm) and surprising Uncle Chad on his birthday. You got to see Uncle Todd, Mimi and Doc too. Even though it was about your uncle, you had a great time making “BIG” fun at FAO Schwarz. We got you an “official” muppet (which you named B-Dads), visited M&Ms World (one of your favorite places), The Disney store, rode the ferris wheel at Toys R Us and you used some money Mimi and Doc gave you to buy your very own dinosaur. We also took mommy to a fancy vegan restaurant (Candle 79). While daddy was at work, you and mom visited the Gugenheim which took great pleasure in pronouncing it the “Gooooooooooo Gunheim.”
But the trip wouldn’t have been complete if you didn’t get to go to the Today show to see your favorite puppy in the world, WRANGLER! It was very exciting when they walked Wrangler outside and you got to sneak over and see him personally! (It was almost as exciting for daddy who got to glimpse and briefly chat with some of the Mad Men cast members). Before we made the long drive home, we had one final meal with Uncle Chad and Aunt Am.
Finally, we celebrated Easter hunting down the many eggs the Easter Bunny left for you to find. You also had the chance to go to The Bunny Bunanzoo at the Baltimore Zoo again.
And now we’re caught up to now. Our pirate pub in the basement is practically done, you helped us shop for more tiny things today at Target and we’re getting ready to see the Blackhawks fight it out for the Stanley Cup.
Whew!
It's Campbell Time!
