Benziger babes

Walking down 5th Ave with Uncle Dan Start spreading the news I am leaving today I want to be a part of it New York, New York These vagabond shoes Are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it New York, New York - Frank Sinatra Uncle Dan turned the big 2-7 last weekend and so the whole Pastorius family flew out to celebrate.  This is the last of our travels this year as momma's belly is getting bigger and so pretty soon they won't let her on and taking me on airplanes alone is more challenging when you can't bend over and pick up all my fallen toys on the ground.  It was Auntie Anne, Uncle Eric, and Grandpa's first time to the big apple (and mine too) and we had lots of fun walking around the "New York BIIIIGGGG City" as I affectionately refer to it. Dan is in his third year of medical school doing rotations at St. John's Episcopal Hospital in Far Rockaway, NY, so we rendezvous-ed in Times Square on Friday nigh

Busy busy busy! They say when your kids are older that life gets crazy but this month has been nuts and Theo's only two! It was non-stop adventure and travel in September but it was great (and exhausting).

He enjoyed getting Grandpa to sit on the floor and play with his blocks, trains and new cars with him and Grandma to show him (and Daddy) how to cook some family favorites. We finally got our house stripped and painted as well which had taken nearly six months to complete and it looks great! Planes, trains and automobiles Theo has been a super traveler - every other week we've flown or driven somewhere and he is always up for the ride. From our family vacation in A
