Shaun and Gabby’s birthday week

Happy birthday Daddy! We made a cake and had to help him blow out the candles

Present time!!

This sassy lady turned 5!! At school on Friday she got to wear a birthday crown for the whole day!

Her teachers and classmates signed a card for her too!

Morning of her birthday she immediately wanted to open presents. This was her gift from Mom, Dad and Sam. A crayon recycler! She also had many video calls with family members to open gifts from them ❤️

Some decorations from her party. Frozen themed!

Happy Birthday Gabby!!

Science Museum

Nice to not have a stroller anymore! We still needed to “park” the jackets somewhere, so we made this. 😂

We started playing with the simulated bubbles .. and then went to check out Perseverance and Spot in the robots/AI exhibit. (No pictures :/)

Then off to see the dinosaurs!

We “played” with science at the playground! Learning about …

Angular Velocity vs. Radial Velocity

Acceleration and Velocity

We stopped to play some music before going to the Engineering Workshop! 🎶

We even set the record for fastest bobsled! (It was gold, green, and purple so we named it “Mardi Gras” haha)

Finally, we explored the inside of the Apollo moon lander command module. 🚀

Christmas in Buffalo, NY – Blizzard 2022

Some photos from the blizzard. Started around 1000 on Friday morning and lasted about 48 hours…

When we departed from Boston .. it was a fun road trip with the kids!

Spent several nights at Nonno and Nonna’s and endured the blizzard. Some good pics of Sammy!

And some of Gabby 🙂

Finally we were able to dig out with the help of Nonno and Aunt Julia, and made the hazardous drive to Gram and Papa’s. Cousins Lincoln and McKinley made made it too!
