Baltimore, Pjs and Grandma’s Birthday!

This is a picture dump post.  I have a lot of pictures!  Last weekend was the MD/VA POLP meet up (can I throw in another acronym)?  Jenn organized a trip tot eh Baltimore National Aquarium.  We had a blast.  The kids really enjoyed the dolphin show.  Preston was completely taken with seeing sharks that close up. And Paula is right-they have creepy eyes.  It’s so great to meet up with everyone. We have become such a close knit family! Here are some pictures of the adorable kiddos!

This past week was Week of the Young Child at school.  Friday was pajama day.  Nothing is cooler when you are five than pajama day.  We got new Perry pjs, with a Perry sweatshirt! Very cool.

Preston also was the recipient of the following award-so perfect!

Today is my mother’s birthday. Preston was adorable picking out presents for her; pajamas, candles, stationary, earrings, etc. Then we took her out for brunch and made a home made cake.  Happy Birthday to the best mom and grandmother.

Looks like a fun trip! Do you know if there are any children with Hypo in the MD/VA group?

Okay, jealous again ... I'm on the wrong side of the country. The trip to the aquariam sounds like lots of fun. I'm wondering if we can stop these boys from growing up. Simon and Preston look so old in the picture of them together ~ I can't deal!
Congrats so Preston for being a Superstar student ~ but we already knew that, we didn't need the certificate to tell us :0)
Happy Birthday to your Mom! Looks like it was a fun day, and I love Preston's blue and white polo, so cute!
Have a great week!

We always have a blast at our POLP meet ups - so great to see you and Pres!! Adorable pictures! Love the one you got of Simon and Pres, and I had the same thought as Trisha . . . can't believe how grown up they both look! Can't wait for our next meet up!!
Simon loved pajama day the one time that he had it at his Infants & Toddlers group! I think all 3 of my boys want Pres' cool pjs and sweatshirt! :)
Love Pres' award for bringing a smile to everyone's faces!! Yep - perfect!
Happy Birthday to your Mom!! It looks like you guys had a fun day together! Great pic of your mom and Pres on the steps and the one of the two of you outside!

I will say I love the picture dump post. They are all so cute. I wish that our local chapter would do more things like this. It looks like you all had a great time. Congrats Preston on the Outstanding Student Award!!! Happy Birthday to your Mom too!!!

What a great day at the aquarium. It was so nice to see you guys and spend the day with you and Preston! Peyton is totally jealous of the Perry pjs too. He loves watching Phineas and Ferb and Jax is starting to enjoy them too. You got some really great pictures of Preston with lots of his friends at the aquarium. Congrats to Preston on his award and Happy Birthday (although a little late) to you mom!!

I am so very happy to see the love you and the POLP have for each other--you all are truly amazing parents that you have introduced your children to so many friends, culture and of course love--how lucky these children are to experience treasured times with one another--I say Hats off to all of you and i can't wait to meet all these wonderful people in the near future.

Jenn is so good at organizing these meetups for all of you living in the eastern states. Adorable pictures as always. Love the outstanding student award...he certainly brings a smile to my face when I see him

What an abundance of cuteness! Looks like you had a beautiful day for the meet-up. I love seeing all the kiddos together. Pres looks awesome in his pjs, but I have to ask...who is Perry? We are the family with no cable tv, so I miss out on these cool things! Seamus gives the Yankees jacket a big thumbs up too. Happy Birthday Grandma, what a wonderful day with your little monkey!

Tell Preston to stop getting older! Such a BIG boy in those pictures...wow! I can't believe we have "known" each other for over 3 years now!! Hopefully one day it will actually be in person.
