Happy Valentines!

Quincy celebrated Valentines Day on Friday at daycare in the morning and with his playgroup in the afternoon. First thing in the morning, we made Valentines to give to his friends. At daycare they played "find the hearts", had a special treat and then shared Valentines. He loved his Valentine's Box that he got to put his cards in.

In the afternoon, his playgroup friends came over. We frosted and decorated and ATE heart shaped sugar cookies and made cards for the Dads. Fun!

A Spring-like Day in February

Portland has had a dry and sunny winter compared to others we have experienced. On Saturday it was 57 degrees and sunny so we got to go the park....yay! It just made us even more excited for summer!

Superbowl!

We had some friends over to watch the Superbowl and Quincy had a great time just being one of the guys!

He had front row seats until he got thrown out of that section because he wouldn't sit down...then he got bumped to the cheap seats!

He cheered for both teams and apparently he had to call some friends to tell them about the game.

And finally....we did a little football playing of our own!

The Birthday Season Comes to an End

Yesterday we celebrated Ruby's birthday and that is the final one of Quincy's four other playgroup pals....they were all born within a month of each other. Ruby had an Elmo party with lots of music, dancing and yummy cupcakes. We were even able to get the kids to hold still for a group shot and one with the moms too!

A Visit from Quincy's Brooklyn Buddy

Luca, Quincy's friend from NYC, visited this weekend! It was so great to see him and his mom and dad too! Luca and Quincy are just about a week apart in age and about the same size too. They had a blast together and even shared toys....for the most part! Here are some pics of the boys and one of their moms too.

Time with Grandma and a Birthday Party!

Quincy got to spend time with Grandma and Lilly recently...what a treat! Of course, he had to be right by Grandma while she visited with Lilly!

We also got to go to Ryan's Rubber Ducky birthday party this weekend! Lots of fun and lots of ducks! Quincy just loved "helping" open presents and the playing with all of them!

Christmas 2008..WOW!

We finally made it out through the snow to visit Santa a few days before Christmas! Quincy was a little scared at first but then he just went for it and got right up on Santa's lap!

Quincy's Christmas couldn't have gotten much better! He was so blessed with so many nice gifts from his family and friends. Among the many things he received this year....Santa brought him a table and chairs so he can sit in his room and color and play (okay...a Mom can dream, right?). He also got a train set which is loves and a keyboard (Thanks brother Kenny!) which he and his Dad love! He is also ready to get started on his basketball career because his brother Brandon and Mashelle gave him a basketball hoop...yeah! This was definately the year of "Elmo" ...Quincy got some Elmo gear, an Elmo puppet, books and DVD....he was thrilled

because he loves Elmo!

For Christmas Dinner we went to Brandon and Mashelle's house...it was so great to be with all of the boys and Mashelle's family for Christmas....and especially fun to spend time with Lilly although she slept through most of it! Quincy opened a few gifts for her but I already warned him that next year, she won't put up with that! And of course, Quincy made a new friend....this is him giving his new friend Lilly a hug before we had to leave. He is already getting a reputation as a lady killer!

Happy Holidays everyone and thanks again for all of the nice cards, gifts and sentiments! Love you all!
