Thanksgiving 2014

Today is Thanksgiving.  School and work are closed, and we make a big dinner and have our family over to visit.

Nick was annoyed in the morning, he wanted to go to school.

Nick helped dad take the turkey out of the oven.

Mom said, "I am so happy you sit down with us and eat the same dinner.  For many years we had to give you pizza to eat."

After dinner we had dessert and Uncle Bob played guitar.  He made up a song for Nick and we were all laughing and having a good time.

Brixx & Barley Restaurant

Last night mom and dad took Nick out to dinner to a new restaurant in Long Beach.

At first Nick did not want to go in, he wanted to have french fries at Burger King.  But mom said now, we were trying a new restaurant.

Nick ended up having a great time, he had lobster mac and cheese and even ate the garlic bread!

Mom said, "this is good news, now we have a new restaurant to go to in Long Beach."

Meatloaf for Dinner

Every Sunday, mom makes dinner for Nick.  And every Sunday, Nick wants to eat chicken.  Today mom said, "I am tired of eating chicken every Sunday, now that the weather is getting cold again we are going to eat meatloaf for dinner."

At first Nick did not want to eat.  But then mom got Nick to take a bite.  And then Nick kept eating.  He finished his whole plate!

Dad at work, far away

Today, dad had to go to work far away, in Baltimore city.  Dad will come home on Thursday night.

Nick watched from the window while dad got in the taxi.

We watched dad go in the taxi and drive away.  

Nick showed mom his Sunday list.  Dad and Nick always go shopping on Sunday.  Mom told Nick, "don't worry, I will take you to your stores today.  Then we will come home and make dinner and go out for ice cream for dessert."

Sunday with Mom

Last week, mom was far away at work.  On Sunday, mom said to Nick, "I missed you a lot while I was gone.  It's a beautiful day in Long Beach, let's do something together."

We went for a long walk on the boardwalk, it was a perfect day, we walked all the way to other side of town, and then went out for lunch.

We took this selfie while we were sitting on the benches.

Mom said, "what a perfect picture to remember this nice day together."

Spooky Spider Lights

It is October, and Halloween is coming.  Nick started to decorate the house this weekend.

This year Nick bought colorful lights with spiders on them.

Mom said, "I don't think I want that hanging in our living room.  Let's hang them in Nick's room."

That's what we did.  Nick likes to lie in bed and look at his spooky spider lights on the wall.

Mom at work, far away

Tomorrow mom has to go on a trip for work.  Mom will be gone for 6 days.  Mom made Nick a schedule so he can remember when mom will be home.
