Meet the Mets!

James Beyrer made his first appearance at the new CitiField Park on Saturday. This pic is him getting ready to go:

He brought his Mom,Dad and Grandpa Meagher. We had Uncle John Beyrer's seats which entitled us to go into the Excelsior Lounge-It was very cool. We saw Eddie Ross there who even gave us some free snacks!

We finally made it out to the seats...

Yes Folks...that's Steve Ibach! He was there too! It was a great day filled with beer drinking, pretzel eating fun! And the best part was that James slept for 10 hours that night. In a row. So apparently he needs to watch the Mets play( they weren't losing when we left although they did lose in extra innings)in order to sleep through the night. Just like his Daddy.


And since we are here...Jamie has new stats since he is 4 months old...He wighs 14 lbs 8oz and is 25 and one -half inches long.He's pretty average for his height and weight. Tommorow we start cereal!woohoo! I can't wait!

New Hampshire meets James

James had his first trip to New Hampshire last week. He was a champ for the 6 hour car ride mostly sleeping the whole time. I got to sleep in the backseat with him and nap also since we decided I would be on baby duty the night before so Daddy could sleep and drive us safely to New Hampshire. We brought Gramphog with us and jokingly fought about who got to feed the baby at the rest stop.

Our first stop was a visit with our Aunt Edith and her daughter Nan and son-in-law Harold. Then cousins Kathy and Vincent came over and joined us for dinner at the Corner House pub. Wednesday we waited for Heather to arrive and then went to visit Aunt Jean before dinner . Grandpa was pretty creative with finding ways to entertain James. Here he is shown trying to teach James to write lists:Thursday we went to Squam Lake and had dinner at the Woodshed who used to serve delicious ribs but do not any longer. However they do serve a drink called Skip and Go Naked which fearless Feather ordered. Some may say Joe goaded her and some may say she was merely doing it for the pin you get with the drink to replace one our Mom used to have. Either way you end up with one soggy Feather.

Friday was a rainy day for the first day of our family reunion. So minigolf and go-carts were cancelled..but Mike and Donna's was on. There was ladderball and wiffleball and those who didn't have a three-month old baby stayed late in the night for fooseball and pool. But while there James met more cousins...

Saturday was beautiful and sunny and hot! We spent the day playing bocce, ping pong, ladderball, swimming, eating, drinking, and catching up with family. It was pretty spectacular. I don't think I took any pictures but Heather did...

Sunday was Heather's birthday so we began the day with dunkin'donuts( maybe not a big deal down here on Long Island but where we are in NH that entails a 30 minute drive to the nearest dunkin donuts...)thanks to Joe and James and then we opened Heather's presents! My personal favorite was of course the photo album made from recycled Elephant Poop found in the Old Country Store.

Heather went home that day and we went to Kathy and Vincent's house where more whiffleball was played and then we ate dinner at the Pizza Barn. Monday we went up to North Conway to get some stuff for the house and then ate dinner at the pub after I packed the car a bit. Tuesday we came home and James was again a real trooper. We were tired and glad to be home. And I am glad I figured out how to move the pictures in this post.
