Congrats Uncle Ken & Aunt Emily!


It was a big week for the California Jordan's, as the weekend of Uncle Ken and Aunt Emily's wedding had finally arrived.


It was time to pack up and leave our little house this week to take our show on the road.


Our New York visit started with a trip to see the Gallaghers, where they served us only the finest NYC pizza.


We got to meet and spend some quality time with 3 month old Penelope.


Laura (aka the tummy time whisperer) even taught her a thing or two during our stay.


Bill on the other hand just got pooped on.


With all the rain there was no chance we would risk Carson melting by going outside. Instead we spent the day at LIC Kids gym. For any of you planning to spend time in the greater Long Island City area, it was a great play space for our rainy Thursday afternoon.


Carson also managed to crack the code of the famed information security professional and bang away at Kevin's computer.


Friday we headed north to Middletown, NY to meet the rest of the Jordan family. Pops proved to be a big hit.


He was perhaps second only to the swimming pool on Carson's list of favorite things about the weekend.


We enjoyed a lovely rehearsal dinner on Friday night.

Maybe we should spend more time listening to the Kid's jazz records that Bill brought home, because Carson clearly appreciated the band during the coctail hour.


Although he liked the funk band later as well.


We stifled our yawns as best we could to party late into the night.


Here's the expanded lineup of Jordan children. Carson is no longer the newest addition!


All the time with Pops must have given Carson some good jokes, like the one he shares with Aunt Caroline here.


Although Laura would prefer that we edit it out of the picture, the binky did help us go til nearly the end of the reception.


No rest for the weary on Sunday, as it was time to go see the Alpacas at Aunt Emily's parent's house.


Emily's dad Dean gave Carson a ride around in the tractor, although like the golf carts the previous day, it was almost as good standing still.


With the excitement of the wedding behind us we headed back down to the city and spent a morning at the Central Park Zoo. As you can tell, Carson is quite aware the penguins are cold.


It was plenty cold outside as well, although that's just fake turtle egg, and not snow.


The hat and gloves weren't just for show though, as Carson braved temperatures all the way down into the mid-thirties!


Fortunately he could personally thank the creatures who provided his wool sweater while he was there.
