Last Thursday was a big day in our house as D graduated from Pre-K so it is official - he is off to Kindergarten in September. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have to say the day was beautiful and we were so happy to celebrate his big milestone with family and friends. As you can see, D was pretty excited for the big event. The kids did not wear caps and gowns but the school provided t-shirts which featured each child's hand prints and the answer to "What I Want to Be When I Grow Up?" Of course, D's shirt was huge on him but thankfully Mike worked his sewing magic and hemmed it so it did not look like a dress on him. </div>

Each parent had to create an outfit centered around what each child wanted to be. These outfits served as decor for the church and lined the pews. I created the "head" for each child's outfit as I had to get involved somehow. It featured a picture, the school's logo and a diploma. I have to say it looked super cute.<br />

This year we decided to "take a break on Spring Break" and not do too much. Our week was filled with sleeping later than usual for D and staying in PJ's until lunchtime. We even spent one day doing absolutely nothing!! In addition, we did the little things that we haven't had a chance to do like getting D's haircut, which he NEEDED; a trip to the movies to see The Lorex in 3D (quite a good movie I might add), as well as a visit to Grandma's and Grandpa's. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">By the week home was not so much fun and road trips were in order. So off we went to the Turtleback Zoo on Saturday. We had never been and it is quite a nice little zoo. Much to D's happiness the zoo was having a celebration for the wolves as it was their birthday.....</div> <br />

All and all a great way to spend Spring Break.

Luckily the weather was crappy on one of the weekends so "hunts" got spread out to two separate days and much fun was had.<br />
<br />
Our first one was our town's Easter Egg hunt on the beach. This one is always a hit as the beach is filled with boxes of candy for the taking. Of course there was the traditionally photo with Peter Cottontail..... <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And then off to the races they went. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Funny thing was as we were heading to the hunt I told D that the goal was to find the plastic egg that the group had hide in the sand. For the first time, he actually listened to me, however, by the time he stopped looking for the plastic egg all the candy was gone. Yes, it equaled one unhappy boy.<br />
<br />
Luckily the following Saturday featured another hunt where they actually place plastic eggs in a field and everyone runs for them, per age group. This time no mention was made about what anyone should find. <br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Though we did not mention anything to D about finding sometime special in one of the eggs, this Easter Egg hunt did feature the placement of four gold coins, per age group, in each section. And as luck would have it... </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Each year it is very sweet and the kids are just too cute. Anyway, while getting dressed prior to school, D told me that there would be one song that he was going to sing really loud for. Here it is....and by the way, on how many levels is this song just not right? Granted the message is correct but.....And I hope you enjoy D's commentary right before the song starts. <br />

</div>They say that time flies when you are having fun so I guess we must have had a lot of fun this year as it is already the first week of December and I am just getting around to writing our annual holiday letter. So, this year has completely flown by for us.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><strong>Happy Holidays! </strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">All and all 2011 was a good year for us which was filled with many happy memories and great adventures. The year did begin with a trip to Philadelphia Children's Hospital (CHOP) for Daniel but what else is new. Despite crossing our fingers that Daniel's G-Tube spot would close completely on its own and not require any medical intervention it wasn't the case. So in January we spent a fun-filled day at CHOP and Daniel underwent surgery to close the pinhole opening that remained. We were very fortunate and had a fabulous surgeon who was great with Daniel and totally got our "craziness." Well maybe just mine. In true Daniel's fashion, he totally called out his doctor and asked him what took him so long to see him on surgery day. And if that was not enough to embarrass us, he told the recovery room nurses that he LOVED soda when they asked him what kind of icy drink he wanted. How he loves soda is beyond me as he does not drink it in this house. In the end it was worth the trip as his G-Tube site looks fabulous now.... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The visit went extremely well and everyone involved in his case was extremely impressed by his progress and development. So much so that they told us that we did not have to see them for <strong>TWO WHOLE YEARS!</strong> Yes, two years!! What are we going to do next year??

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The summer, as always, brought exciting adventures and annual traditions. One being our friend's annual "white trash" party to kick-off the summer. Our contribution to the party has been securing about 60 pounds of crawfish and cooking them. As traditions go, each year Daniel gets to rescue one crawfish for our fish tank. It amazes me that he has no fear in this area and just reaches in and grabs one. He was pretty happy with his pick this year... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSDw1gROzMsImPjKBKfF1hyH_v_ZNcGwnOp2JEhTrs7YL5cOyCsz6qT3IPZDpXzrZAi2vTm4V8JHdReFjqmEHGOUfhvD1qG11pgkH7YmxReyEy5SakoV7ij4lu8JrCPjSY2ChvbGxZQCY/s1600/DSC_3544.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSDw1gROzMsImPjKBKfF1hyH_v_ZNcGwnOp2JEhTrs7YL5cOyCsz6qT3IPZDpXzrZAi2vTm4V8JHdReFjqmEHGOUfhvD1qG11pgkH7YmxReyEy5SakoV7ij4lu8JrCPjSY2ChvbGxZQCY/s320/DSC_3544.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">The summer also brought a visit from Mike's family from Colorado; a trip to the Jersey Shore, as well as two camping trips for Mike and Daniel to a friend's cabin in upstate New York.

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The Fall brought the arrival of school and off to Pre-K we all went in true amazement of how far we have all come. And yes, that is a black eye for the first day of school. Yet another proud moment...<br />

No longer are there tears in the classroom doorway and no longer is there a "Bye Mom." Just off and running. Guess it is just a precursor of days to come. How next year brings a new school and Kindergarten I haven't got a clue. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We were able to get away for a couple of days to celebrate thanks to my sister and the wedding celebration of a very dear friend in Palm Springs, Calif. Though the trip was a world wind, it was awesome on many fronts. In true Mike fashion he somehow convinced me to take the Palm Springs Ariel Tram to the top of the mountain. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Small spaces, extreme heights - I think Mike is trying to tell me something after all these years. All and all it was an amazing trip up and a fabulous way to celebrate our milestone. <br />
<br />
</div>Both of our families are doing well. Somehow our niece and our nephew are in high school while the other two are in their last year of elementary school and one is in middle school. Again, time flies! <br />
<br />
All and all, we are doing well too. Mike continues to work for Cablevision and is rounding out his 17th year and I am still doing some freelance work and am in the process of finding full-time work. Daniel, as you can tell, continues to be a happy and funny little boy and continues to amaze (and drive us crazy) each day.<br />

Yesterday we took our annual visit to see the big guy and "hear" what Daniel wanted for Christmas. Upon hopping up on Santa's lap, I thought it might be cute to see Daniel through the year. And here you have it...... <br />
