Sesame Place







Before the boys get here for the summer, we decided to take Ethan to Sesame Place. It will be quite some time before we will be able to give him our undivided attention with the boys, Kim's mom and grandmother coming to stay with us soon. On top of all that we have Catie's arrival in July, so we tried to make it a special day for the little man.
We had lunch with Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Elmo and Cookie Monster. Ethan rode on a respectable roller coaster and splashed in the wave pool. He got to sit in a real, though very old, fire truck. he got his picture taken with every Sesame Street character there is just about. But I think Ethan's favorite thing was the "Blue Mountain". Basically its a tarp that is attached in the middle to a pole so it forms a 'mountain'. He must have gone up and slid down that thing like a hundred times. Its funny how sometimes the simplest things are the best...

Phillies game

On Sunday we were fortunate enough to get great tickets to the Philadelphia Phillie's game. So, Brandyn, Morgan, Dad and I spent the day down at Citizen's bank Park. Boy i'll tell ya, what a nice stadium! It sure beats the old Vet that I remember as a kid.
Anyway, we all had a great time. Dad and I picked up some pretty snazzy sweatshirts and the kids got those big pointing finger things that you see at almost any sporting event these days. I also got a raging case of sun burn on the top of my knees. Who needs sun screen right?
Morgan wanted to get on TV so bad but the camera guy showed us no love. Morgan also paid me to mention the fact that even though he didn't know the answers to the sports trivia on the big screen TV out in left field, he got them all right!
The home team didn't do very well and we lost the game 4-2 but at least we got to see some great players pretty close up. I thought it was cool how each player had a theme song like WWF wrestlers. Morgan pointed out that Matt Stairs theme song was in fact Stone Cold Steve Austin's song. I'm not much for wrestling but it sounded cool. The most important part was that both boys said they had an "Awesome" time and we all got home safe....
Happy Mothers Day to everyone:)

We got our picture taken on the way in by one of the stadium photographers, heres the link to it:

Catherine Ann Paine



Here she is!!! The newest member of the paine clan. On April 25th 2009, myself, Kim, Brandyn, Morgan and Gigi went to the Baby Preview Company in Reading, PA to get a more concrete answer in regards to the sex of the baby. What we got was a wonderful experience and the answer to the big question. Will we have our little girl......
