All the Jersey Shore weekend pics(38).
Or, more like the song: "Highway to he@#!!. Ian has developed a strong disliking for his car seat. The sound of the 'click' throws him into a panic: Contorted face, swollen lips and cheeks, a shade of red that would put a tomato to shame. No matter how many times I remind myself about perspective, when it comes right down to it, perspective just doesn't get me by. The good news is that Noah has become QUITE the entertainer. He leans way over in his own car seat and offers several 'goo-goo, gaa-gaa's baaaabee!" "It's okay, baby"...and even, yes, you got it - "You're my best friend in the whole world Ian." That is until he reaches his own breaking point, at which pt., he leans way over and starts screaming right back at little brother. This moment, for the driver especially, is well, special.
Our Jersey Shore trip last weekend was awesome. This is our annual reunion with our buddies from Connor's undergraduate school (Kettering) and their families. This year, as Jersey Shore would have it, we had a definite Situation.
The Situation:
During their mid-stop layover, or 3 hours from home, as they are pulling into their booked hotel for the night, Joe and Amy hear a burp from the backseat. This precedes one of those special events only the parents of a two-year-old can fully appreciate: The (Toddler-Style) Stomach Bug. Messy, stinky, sticky, tearful (mom and child), and all together memorable. They headed back home the next morning. Their trip was eventful, to say the least. Sadly so, we missed out on the Tommy-Noah Show and Cake.
Nonetheless, we had a wonderful time together with Ken and Mer - who definitely has The Glow, and Brent and his lady-friend, Susie. All in the trip was a major success - windy weather - PERFECT for kite flying, excellent food (ken, you could totally quit your day-job for chef-dom), Patron margaritas (that's what I'm talkin' about!), great conversation, lots of laughs, and a couple of MTV episodes of Jersey Shore on someone's laptop. A success!
214 Steps up, up,up! We are at the top of a lighthouse.
Back at home - Ian splashin' in water. You wouldn't believe for a minute that I am the unhappy car seat baby, would you?

And, this nicely sums it up:
