Spoiled Rotten

Being Messy, Good Eats, Laughing, Shopping, Smiling, Sports, Traveling

In the past three years, it’s hard to find a time when Tiger has gotten more attention in NJ, then what he just received last week from his aunts and uncle. From eating great meals at Denville Seafood, to Luke’s, to Peter Luger’s, then to the Princeton Communiversity, not only did Tiger receive constant attention, he also had his share of fine foods.

We love having guests around the house as Tiger’s face lights up even more than it usually does. After a week of fun trips to both NYC, PA, and in NJ, our living room becomes quiet (without the sound of Game of Thrones) and mama and dada both agree that we definitely saw Tiger grow-up a bit more this past week. Whether it was the presence of wonderful company, or just Tiger maturing, we both know that almost three and a half years have gone by way too quickly.

Happy Egg Day

Holiday, Smiling

Happy Easter! After Tiger’s soccer practice yesterday, we decided to swing by a park in Chester, NJ to have some good ol’ clean, Easter egg hunting fun. Little did we know, parents were also involved in the hunt, which made it a free-for-all for the kids. Lucky for us, Tiger has a mom who doesn’t mind shoving a kid or two down to the ground to get some eggs (this didn’t happen…at least I don’t think it did).

Blossoming Right Before Our Eyes

Good Eats, Laughing, Smiling

We just recently found out about the Essex County Bloomfest (which showcases the County’s cherry blossom trees), but not so recently, have we been quickly finding out that our little Tiger is growing up way too fast. Perhaps it’s because of his first soccer practice this weekend, or maybe it’s because his unique personality is on display for us everyday, or just possibly, it’s because I’m about to turn 30(-ish), but it just seems like the last three and a half years have zoomed by.

There’s so many things to be thankful for and as we’re cleaning-up the house preparing for Baby Horse, you can’t help but to look back at the pictures and videos of the past three-plus years and smile.

Practice?! We’re Talking About Practice

Sports

This weekend marked the first of what should be many, many practices. This weekend just so happened to be soccer, but could’ve easily been swimming, karate, basketball, football, or guitar. Although Tiger didn’t make it through his first practice (he exerted too much energy before practice running with his friends from school), he did look great in his uniform!

Looking for Lobster in All the Right Places

Good Eats, Laughing, Smiling, Traveling

For our second visit to DUMBO (see our first visit here), we were in search of some lobster, but not just any lobster. We needed to go to Luke’s, and when we found it, we ate, we walked, then we ate again.

In the midst of this crazy food run over an hour away from home (I blame the Preggo), we were hoping to also visit the first weekend of Smorgasburg. Seeing that we completely misread the opening (it was across the River today), we conveniently stumbled across a great playground, and an excellent coffee shop. If we get our wish, hopefully we’ll be back in this area, Smorgasburg or not, in a few weeks when our friends come to visit.
