Newport,RI: first look at the ocean

The day after hurricane Irene hit New Haven we had no power so we took a drive to Newport (thinking the storm was fairly inland). The funny thing is that Newport had no power.

The weather that day was beautiful and the power came back on in the afternoon. It was a great day.

Grammy and Grandad come to town.

Ah, the Pantry! A great place to contemplate life and fall asleep.

Their peach pancakes are one of the many joys of summer.

But they don't compare to this joy of summer! We can't get enough of this guy.

You can see why.

Turning 100!

A good friend of ours, Alvin Wong, asked us what we would be doing to celebrate Jack's 100th day birthday. This was new to us, but a celebrated tradition in China so Alvin celebrated with us. Mr. Alvin brought Jack a gift and everything. It is so fun to hear how Alvin can get Jack to talk - it is something about his sing-song voice that Jack thinks, "Ah, now here is someone I can talk to." Too cute!

We went to an all you can eat sushi place which was amazing. Jack slept pretty much the whole time like a champ and we are now officially part of the early bird family dinner crowd.

It's not easy being 100!

100 day old toes.

Cheers to the next 100!
