...and then there were FOUR

IT'S A......

We have exciting new news to share this morning. Palmer family is expecting a little baby GIRL and we couldn't be happier. The Chinese Calendar was right again.

Day with Thomas the Train

This was quite a day for Kellen. As some of you might know, little boys LOVE trains and Kellen is no exception. One of his favorite characters is Thomas the Train. He has the trains, toys, and loves to watch Thomas on TV. Today, we drove up to Essex, CT where Kellen and his 3 friends got to ride on "Thomas the Train", go on a few carnival rides, and, to top it all off, K received a "Junior Engineer" certificate. The highlight for Kellen was probably the roller coaster ride. He wanted to go on it so bad, he had a tough time understanding why he had to wait in line for his turn, and when the ride was over, didn't want to get off. We just couldn't get over how old he looked on those rides...such a big boy!

EXTREME Biker!

Check out our lil buddy learning the ins-and-outs of bicycle riding, with patient tutorial from Mom. Kellen's first whip is a present from Nana and he loves it. He got on this weekend for his maiden voyage shortly after Dad assembled (thank you very much, naysayers). We'll be looking to remove these training wheels in no time!

Maple Row Part II

We had so much fun getting our tree, we decided to join my Mom the following weekend and help her find her "perfect" tree. It was another fun day and another great photo op!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

This Christmas, we decided it was time to cut down our tree and make a day out of it. My Dad was in town for a visit and Kellen was certainly getting into the spirit of Christmas. We got in the car and had a beautiful drive through the CT countryside and arrived at Maple Row Tree Farm. Our journey included a tractor hay ride, some homemade cider (spiked, of course) and donuts, lots of picture taking, and a short hike through the trees to find the perfect one. It was a success! We found our tree and had a lot of fun!

K's Birthday Part 2

We celebrated Kellen's birthday a few days early, so when the actual day rolled around, we decided to have a little ice cream party with two of Kellen's friends, Gavin and Olivia (or as Kellen calls her, ee-ya). Kellen LOVED his strawberry ice cream cone and is still talking today about his "special treat".

These are pics of Kellen enjoying one of his birthday presents from mom and dad, a wagon! This wagon has it all- cup holder, compartment for his toys, and a seat belt! Certainly not like how they used to make 'em! (or so I am told)
