Happy Birthday Uncle Sean & YEAH Auntie Danielle

Dear Conor,

On December 8, 2012 we made a special trip down to the Cape to celebrate your Uncle's 30th birthday.  We hadn't been to the Cape since Great Grammie visited in September so this trip was LONG overdue!

You did really well on the ride down and you slept a better part of the way.  We did make two stops.  The first being in NH so that I could change your diaper and feed you as you were struggling to fall asleep and then another at Exit 5 for the same reasons (you woke up hungry and wet).  Since having you join our family the ride to the Cape has taken longer but your comfort is important because when you are comfortable we travel easier!

When we got to the Cape we drove to Grandma and Grandpa's house where you were able to play for about 30 minutes before we had to get back in the car (I know - we felt terrible about that) and off to the British Brewing Company (BBC) we went.  Uncle Sean did not know about his party so we had to hide in the back room until it was time to shout "SURPRISE".

The party was a lot of fun but after about an hour and a half you were stating to show signs that you needed some down time.  Uncle Sean had wanted everyone to go bowling after and Daddy and I knew that if you didn't have some down time bowling would not be an option for us.  So we drove back to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

When we got there you ate, napped a little on Mommy, and played and played.  You had so much fun walking around Grandma's house and touching the Christmas things that she had put out.  We were home for about an hour or two when everyone else came home and asked if we were going to go bowling.  Mommy & Daddy felt that we should give it a try because, after all, it was Uncle Sean's birthday and we don't see him often!

You had a GREAT time at the bowling alley!  First you played with the bowling balls with Grandpa Tom.

 

While Mommy and Daddy took their turns lighting up the lane everyone got a chance to spend some time with you.

Picture Time with Mommy but you were too busy watching everyone else!

Soon it was getting late (later than we anticipated) and while you were holding yourself together very well (I was soo proud of you) Daddy and I knew that it wouldn't be long before you would be too overtired and there was still a 20 minute car ride back to Grandma's house. So, we said goodbye to Uncle Sean and the rest of the party and brought you home. You went to sleep without too much fuss that night as you were tired from your VERY busy day! The next day we had to pack up to leave. While we were getting things ready Auntie Danielle checked the mail. And guess what - she got an acceptance letter to college! You have such a smart Auntie!

Reading the letter carefully

I got into college!!!!!!

We are very proud of your Auntie and we know that whatever school she goes to will be lucky to have her! Thank you again for being such a good little traveler Conor!
