Cape Cod Getaway

Once you cross the Sagamore Bridge, you are on vacation. Welcome to Cape Cod, beaches, bike, mini-golf, ice cream and onion rings. We were lucky enough to rent a cottage in Dennisport for a week of lazy fun with Nana, and a good time was had by all. Nana even joined us for an early morning round of Adventure Golf, after Pancake Man of course.

Thomas at 4

Happy Birthday Thomas! Our little man has turned four. It's all about dinosaurs (particularly of the Dinosaur Train variety). He asked for a Tiny Pteranodon cake for his birthday party, and then we baked a 4 cake together on his actual day. He's pretty good at baking, actually.
His stats: Thomas is 43 inches tall (3'7") and 41 pounds.

The boys love Ottawa

We found the patisserie where Obama buys his cookies. Yum. Parliament is about this big.

Martin turns 6

Happy birthday Marty! Here he is with his Millennium Falcon cake and brand new Star Wars old school t-shirt. Yes, at 6 he was finally allowed to see Star Wars, and now life is all blasters and shooting and light sabers and fighting. As long as it's to save the galaxy and not just to torment your brother then I'm okay with it. Airplane fascination continues, and Lego brain as well.
The stats: Marty is 50.75" and 53.8 pounds ... so he grew over 3 inches in the last year, and as his doctor pointed out "kids just don't do that". His BMI is 14. That's awesome.


And here is a close-up of that Millennium Falcon cake. Yeah, I did that.

PMC kids ride 2010

Allez Marty! Allez Thom! The boys lined up for another year of riding for the cause, and they did great! A beautiful day, no rain this year, and this time in May and in the afternoon. Thom rode 3 whole laps (2.4 miles) and Marty repeated last year's epic 10 lap total (8 miles). Look at those skinny legs! Andy Schleck has nothing on this kid :)

Loose Tooth Comes Out

After a week and a half of wiggling, the loose tooth came out cleanly after dinner. Now Marty has a nice jack o'lantern smile. Way to go, big boy!

This is Playoff Hockey

Marty got to play some playoff hockey for the Chicago Blackhawks. Games on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Mostly playing defense, and learning so much.
Two two-minute shifts per period.
Send it up the boards!
Marty even got an assist, his first playoff point!
WYH did a great job with the tournament, too. The kids had a lot of fun and got to play a lot of hockey.
