First CT Days – Cole & Mom

Our flight out to CT was smooth. Cole and I snoozed on the way to LA and then I snoozed more from LA to Boston. We had a window seat on both flights but Cole thought it was better to keep the shade down most of the trip. He would just tell me that it was too bright out and would shut it. I think it helped me sleep a little bit more so I have no complaints.

Andrew had an award ceremony on Wednesday night where he received two awards - one being a $500 scholarship. A big old WHOOP to you Andrew!

Do not know why the tongues come out on many shots of the boys? Is it a boy thing?

The whole Gang

We all managed to sit around one table for meals and more.
Paul, Wayne, Andrew, Peg, Julie, Cole, Tina, Mandy and Beryl.
In addition, card games, lots and lots of card games.
Did I say card games? From the moment I walk up the stairs in the morning until I head down the stairs at night, someone is shuffling a deck and playing dealing. Really enjoying this part of the visiting.


I asked Andrew to look smart and this is what I got. I would post the other photo of him but you have already seen his tongue hanging out.

To be fair, Andrew has been cast as Eugene (the nerd) in a stage production of Grease and these are the glasses he will be wearing.

Proud Parents

Trish, Andrew & Wayne

Cole and I are happy to be a part of this day. I am so very proud of him and am excited for his future. By the way, Andrew will be attending CCSU this fall.

Boys will be boys and Cole LOVES it.

Riley(Andrew’s best friend), Randy, Andrew and Cole all ran outside to sword fight in the front yard. Not that I thought it was Coles idea in the first place, but I thought it funny and cute that it was the older ones who picked up weapons and said, “Let’s go!” and headed out the front door quickly with lots of laughter, whacks, ughs and so on. Cole is having a ball this day.

Mandy in Blues Clues
We attended a children’s stage play that Mandy was in where it was interactive with the kids sitting on the floor. Very cute, Mandy was very animated playing the part of Suds or basically the bar of soap. She did a great job and was fun to watch.

Cole did not want a photo with Blue and informed Beryl as we left “I was forced to take a picture”. Poor poor guy.
