On To The Next Adventure!

Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, and we are off to Texas!

Grampy says I should do a reset. I have no idea what a reset is but here goes!

My daddy had to go out on the aircraft carrier thing and then he was going to be sent to Texas soooo… we sold my old house in Virginia and we moved in with Grammy and Grampy for about 6 months. It’s been a lot of fun but now it’s time to go.

I’ve had a lot of fun with Grammy, my old buddy Grampy, my Uncle Matt, Aunty Kat, Uncle Josh and all the people I got to meet. And we did so much stuff!

(Trip to Millicent Library)

Right away Grampy took me to the library in Fairhaven. I called it the castle. And I got my own library card!



I taught Grampy how to play chess.

I took Grammy to the zoo. And…


We had campfires in the backyard!

When the weather started getting a little colder my Aunty Kat got married to my Uncle Josh and I got all dressed up!


What a party! I danced all night!


I carved pumpkins with my mom…


I played baseball with Grampy.


Went trick-or-treating with mom….


And then it was time for Christmas! Mommy and I got matching hats


I helped Grampy with his Christmas cards.


And watched Snoopy every night.


I went Christmas shopping with mom and wrapped up the presents by myself. I like tape.


We made Christmas cookies for Santa even though Grampy ate a few!


Christmas morning was awesome! I got so much stuff!


My Uncle Matt started singing at a restaurant and I would go to watch him…and eat my grilled cheese.



I would play with my friend Macius too!


I love my Uncle Matt!

(Uncle Matt and Liam at Mikey B’s in New Bedford)

My friend invited me to his birthday party at Chuck E Cheese! I whacked all those moles!


After that….DADDY CAME HOME!


Daddy took me and mommy to Disney World to celebrate being home. We had lots of fun!


I even rode my first big boy roller coaster. Mommy says I loved it no matter what my face looks like.


And guess who I met? I even gave him a Friendship Bracelet that I made.


We had so much fun!


Now we’re off to Texas! I don’t think I’ve ever been to Texas but that’s where the Navy is sending my dad. Mommy says we’re going to look for a new house where I can have a brand new room with all my toys back and a backyard that I can play in. I told her we have to be sure there’s a room for Grampy when he comes to visit. Grammy can stay there too. Maybe they’ll come over on weekends.

Grampy said the next time he sees me he expects to see me with a Cowboy hat, a big belt buckle and boots. Strange man my grampy.

Thanks for all the fun Grammy and Grampy! Come see my new house.

Note from Grampy: I’m really going to miss my little buddy. Be safe. See you soon.

    Oh Pete. I know this transition is going to be so difficult for everyone, but especially you. The bond you two have created and grown is so strong. I know the memories you all have created will carry you through to the next ones. XO
