We’ve had both sunshine and rain this month, in weather and behavior.  RJ is hitting peak tantrum age and it doesn’t take much to set him off.  When he is not crying, the kids are running around giggling together and talking non-stop.

We took a family vacation to New York.  The kids did well on the plane enjoying ipads, snacks and goodies in their backpacks.  RJ didn’t nap so he was very tired by the time we arrived.  During our visit the kids played at various playgrounds, went to the Brookhaven Wildlife and Ecology Center, fed the ducks and geese at the duck pond, went to see extended family in Remsenburg and went to the library.  They really had fun playing at Nana and Grandpa’s house, especially in their basement (a novelty since we do not have basements on the West Coast).
