Teddy’s first trip to Jockey Hollow
Another 60 degree and sunny day…before 3 inches of snow tomorrow. So I took Teddy to my favorite park for a little hike. He better learn to like walks because there are a lot in his future!
TBT: Andrew’s first trip to Jockey Hollow…
Don’t the boys look so much alike?! 😉

Play date!
It was nearly 60 degrees today so we decided to soak in the warm weather…especially since it’s supposed to be 30 on Saturday ?. We met Andrew’s girlfriend Abigail at the park for some playground fun, duck feeding and train spotting. Then the moms tagged along while the two enjoyed romantic cupcakes at the local French bakery.
Success is measured by pulling in the garage with 2 (!) sleeping kiddos. Point for mommy! -
Thank you Daniel Tiger
Dear Daniel Tiger,
Thank you for keeping both boys entertained, quiet and stationary while I got dressed this morning. And the fact that you had an episode on about listening to adults and being well behaved was just a cherry on top. MUCH appreciated!
Forever grateful,
Kristi

Life with little boys
A brief look into life over the last two weeks:
Our new wheels. Feels a bit like pushing a VW down the street but it works well with two kiddos and a mommy who wants exercise! -
Day 1
Last Wednesday was my first day without outside help from grandparents, Andy was back to work in the city and Andrew was also home from school. So it was me and two kids….alone!
Well I’m pleased to say that we all survived and even had a fun day! We read books, played trains and went for a drive in the morning (yes this was motivated by a Starbucks drive thru). After nap we went to the nature center and played outside before dinner. All in all a success and a good confidence booster for this new mommy of two! ?
Love our local nature center! Andrew is mildy obsessed with seeing the fishies so it’s a good bargaining chip to encourage good behavior!

Teddy meets Grandma & Grandpa!
The welcome committee continued! Grandma and Grandpa James came to New Jersey to meet Teddy and provide some much needed support during our first few days home. We’re so blessed to have such a strong and loving support system around us!
The weather was shockingly warm (almost 70 degrees!) over the weekend so we all ventured out to Liberty Park for some playground, train spotting and duck feeding. Even Teddy got in on the action! 
Big brother feeding the ducks:
Little brother waiting patiently: 
We were sad to see them leave on Sunday but look forward to getting the whole PB&J family together in just a few weeks! -
Home Sweet Home
Teddy received a warm welcome home as we settled into life as a family of 4! A special thanks to Coco, Papa and Aunt Kiki for helping smooth the transition for Andrew while we were ‘preoccupied’ at the hospital.
And we’re home! Andrew insisted on holding the baby. We’re loving his interest and excitement about his brother…just trying to ensure he doesn’t break Teddy in the process.
Singing happy birthday to baby Teddy! Andrew will happily jump on any reason for cupcakes, candles and singing!
Hello old friend. The jungle mat is back!
Daddy and Teddy. And big bro didn’t want to be left out…
Welcome Teddy! Thank you for completing our family!
