Summer has been great so far. We got back from our trip to SF and got serious about potty-training, which went really well and Dylan picked up really quickly.
In May, I graduated from my Masters program at Rutgers (am now finishing up the PhD), we celebrated Keith's birthday, and Keith completed several long races.
In June, Keith and I got to see Phish a couple of times, Keith's family had a family picnic, we all participated in a brain tumor walk in honor of Carly Nelson and we joined the Cranford Community Pool.
In July, we went to the beach at LBI to visit our friends Chuck and Jane. We celebrated my sister's birthday, we went up to Rochester to visit Uncle Kenny and Aunt Lisa. Dylan started his Preschool of Rock music class on Fridays, and Keith signed up for the New York Marathon. He did not make the lottery drawing -- another way to qualify for the marathon is by raising money for a charity so he has been accepted by the Brain Tumor Foundation Team and has been fundraising for them and training hard. You'll find the link to his fundraising page below. We're so proud of him!
here's the link to donate in honor of Carly and in support of Keith's marathon training: http://www.crowdrise.com/teambtf2011/fundraiser/keithmason
Also, we have had some fun times at Tio Ney and Tia Valeria's pool in South Plainfield, birthday parties, showers, watching Keith play softball and hanging out with the Haller family. Yesterday, July 24 -- Uruguay won the America's Cup in Soccer and Dylan jumped, cheered and high fived through the game and took to the streets of Elizabeth with his grandparents and aunts and uncles to go celebrate.
Coming up we have swim lessons for Dylan starting tonite, a camping trip, hopefully a trip to Sesame Place, some more beach time with the Mason family. Despite the crazy heat waves, the summer has been cool and we want it to last as long as possible!!
