Whew! It seems as if Caleb and I haven’t had a real Daddy Day in months. Indeed, we’ve been out of town so much lately, I think today is the first day we have had to just hang out in some time. Coupled with the fact that our computer resources are slim (my ancient laptop finally decided to stop working), our posts have simply lagged. Here’s a quick shot of what we’ve been up to since our early October trip to New York:

• A few trips to Connecticut to visit Nonna and Bappa (what Caleb calls my mother and father, respectively), including a very sad trip to attend my grandfather’s funeral (in New York, about an hour from my parents), another return trip to the cemetery with his youngest daughter a week later, and a quick trip the day after Thanksgiving;
• Semi-hosting Grandma and GrandpaGrandpa (what Caleb calls Megan’s mother and father, respectively) during their trip to Boston this Thanksgiving;
• A stop in Albany, NY (our Connecticut trip to attend my grandfather’s funeral came just a few days before a planned trip to Montréal and Vermont — our stop in Albany bridged the two); and,
• A few days in Montréal, Canada, and a few days in Stowe and Burlington, Vermont (for Megan and my 5-year wedding anniversary — Caleb had a blast!)

…like I said…Whew! All of the trips were car trips, so kudos to Caleb for handling the long rides like a champ. I am not sure what we will do for the Christmas holidays, but for now we don’t have anything major planned until February. So, perhaps we can capitalize on the non-travel time and make a few posts…
