On Saturday, my Mom, Shir and I went to a yard sale to scout for some toys for Seth. My Mom picked this pink Barbie vacuum out. Of course he was obsessed with it - because it had a button that made noise and then these tiny balls inside started moving around. All day the only thing we could hear was... "Hi, I'm Barbie, let's vacuum." I think we will be hiding this new toy very soon!
Because we had such a busy summer with our move - we hadn't been to New York since April. Today we drove down to see Seth's Grandma, Grandpa, his Uncle Joshy and his girlfriend Shir.
Seth had a lot of fun reading new books with Grandma.
Seth loves when Grandpa feeds him!
And we were all excited to get to know Uncle Joshy's girlfriend better. Seth is a huge fan (and so are we!)Seth now enjoys running (or fast walking) but then falling when he encounters a change of terrain, spinning, and doing this funny thing...
I cannot believe the summer is really over. But it is - because I taught my first class of the semester. I think it went well considering we are all battling a really bad summer cold. But we are on the mend. Fall here we come!
We took a trip to the Zoo today with Dave, Chris, his fiance Laura (who we met for the first time and loved!), Dad and Seth. We all had a great time walking around. And I mean everyone was walking. Seth barely was in his stroller! What a big boy!
After looking at Xander's blog - we thought we would share all of the body parts Seth points to when asked...

3. nose
4. ears
5. mouth
6. tongue
7. teeth
8. hair
9. knees

11.toes

13. bellybutton
14. and the all important - penis
Today we drove down to West Hartford to celebrate Jerald's Uncle Les' 60th Birthday. Happy Birthday Uncle Les! All of Jerald's siblings and cousins came with spouses and children. There were eight kids under the age of seven! What fun chaos! 
Above is a picture of the entire group.
Below is a picture of the Korns. 
What a wonderful treat! Even though it was a rainy and cloudy day - a visit from Seth's Nana and Great-Gram brightened our day! They drove down from boston to see Seth in his giant sandbox. Seth had a lot of fun playing with them in the sand and showing them all his new tricks. Thanks for a very special visit!!!
Today was Grandma's last day with us on the Cape. We had the most fantastic time with her. I know Seth had a wonderful time playing in the sand, blowing bubbles, and laughing with his Grandma. THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU!!! We love you!!!
Much more fun on the beach today with Grandma and Grandpa. Seth even got his toes wet! 
Then it was time for Grandpa to take a bus and a train back to NYC so he could go to work. We miss you already Grandpa!!!
Jerald stayed in with Seth and let my Mom and I go out for dinner. It was really special to spend quality time together. We couldn't remember the last time we had dinner just the two of us - if ever. It was really wonderful!
After the pool - we had more fun on the beach and then we all went out on Main Street to explore and have dinner. Then we had to say goodbye to Uncle Joshy, because he took a very early bus and train back to NYC the next morning to get back to work.
Our week on the Cape was amazing - but on the cool side. Day 2 was our only day in the water. Seth really enjoyed the pool. We sang "motor boat, motor boat go so slow..." as we dragged him around the pool. He laughed very hard every time!
We drove down to the Cape for our big vacation! We realized Jerald hasn't taken a vacation since November. So clearly some rest and relaxation is way overdue.
In two short hours we met Seth's Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Joshy for some lunch and then we headed to our place. This is a picture of the back of it. As you can see, we were steps from the beach. 
Here is Seth and Grandpa heading to Seth's giant sandbox. 
Seth's two favorite activities on the beach... scoop and pour. He would sit on the beach for an hour straight playing with the sand. What concentration!
Another favorite activity... bubbles!
We were so happy that Seth could spend some time with his Uncle Joshy. We hope to see him more often. Come and visit!!!
