April fun!

When we're not visiting family on the weekends, we pack them full of fun! And we love daylight savings, since we now get to play in the backyard after work/school!

At Q's pirate party, being silly with Mommy

Boo! I found you!


Many more adventures to come!

Wedding!

The Krupa and Gershman families met up in Orlando for a lovely wedding of one of Lorraine's cousins. Cooper got to come along, and say hello.

Surprise! Happy Easter!

We had a relatively low-key Easter weekend planned in Virginia, when Lorraine decided she'd like to surprise her parents in New York. After a hastily-packed car, off we headed through much traffic in New Jersey. The payoff was worth it, as neither Grandma nor Grandpa knew we were coming. An added bonus was that Doug, Michelle and Charlotte came over on Saturday. We managed to take a few pictures before our camera battery died (see hastily-packed above).

So serious!

Here's hoping everyone else got more pictures!

Hanging out at the house on Saturday -
Michelle, Alison, Lorraine

Grandpa G, Scott, Alex, Cooper, Mark, Art

Mark, Arthur, Rita, Scott

Jeremy, Jodi, Michelle, Dad


What family reunion is complete without a visit to the mall food court?


Sunday morning, the kids (and parents) were up early -

Ben, Connor and Joy

Play time for Cooper and Zia


And Connor too!
