3 years: Snow

It snowed a bunch at Lela Carmen's house.  She took you out to feed the birds some crackers and then you just wanted to stay out there and play with her.



You made snow angels






Very nice, O!

That's one big snowball, Mister O.






























3 years: Trip to New Jersey II

We decided to go to Chili's in Paramus to have din din and meet Titi Jomaira's new friend, Mario.  Big mistake!  It was only a few miles away but took us hours because the traffic was so bad.  I've never seen anything like this in my life.  There wasn't even an accident or anything, just regular traffic.  Even worse, we were running out of gas so it was a very stressful trip.  Luckily you slept through much of it.



Traffic everywhere!



Titi Jomaira and Mario found a cute little place to eat because they wouldn't let us into the mall where the Chili's was located.



Mario, Titi Jomaira and Lela Carmen eating away!



You were a little crazy during dinner (big surprise).






La familia!

3 years: Trip to New Jersey I

We all went to visit Titi Jomaira in her new home in Paterson, New Jersey!  Titi Jomaira is doing Americorps and teaching Adult Ed down in Jersey, good stuff!  Papa Cesar, Lela Carmen, Mommie & Daddy packed up and headed down on the 2 1/2 hour drive.




We got there right for Titi's lunch time so she was able to give us a tour.  She's only in the office on Fridays but the community college where she works at was closed this week.  This is her desk where she does her work.

Where she works



It was freeeezing and it had snowed 2 feet so we quickly walked over to a cute little Puerto Rican restaurant in the neighborhood, Rincon Criollo.  We cleaned up all of our plates!



Titi had to go back to work so we headed to the Botanica that Titi Margie owns.  This is Titi Margie with Lela Carmen in the store.






After the Botanica we headed to Tia Rosa's house.  Tia Rosa showed us her wedding photo from 70 years ago!






So pretty!  She was 19 and her hubby was 21.



They gave you lots of yummie snacks while you tried to dodge Cousin Michael's little shih tzu, Toby.



Papa Cesar looking at the journals of Cousin Blanca.  She writes tiny so she can fit a lot on one page.

Cousin Michael!



Titi had gotten out of work so we headed over to her place (only a few blocks from Tia Rosa's house).  Titi found a parking spot for us and then we walked over to her apartment.



We're home!
