Wordless Wednesday...

It's those little moments...

Just goofing around with his little girl!!

I Can Do It!

Ahhhh yes...we have reached that phase where "I can do it" seems to flow out of Lily's mouth every 5 minutes. Always determined to achieve what she wants to without any help. I don't know about you, but I seem to forget (or maybe block out) certain phases the kids go through or when they normally occur. Life gets so busy but then the next kid comes along to quickly remind you. I really admire those moms that seem to patiently have it all together and remember every single milestone and when it happened. For me...I need my photos!




Mom...I got this...







Determined to splash, get wet and bring sunshine to a rainy day.

10

Yep...we have a 10 year old boy in the house. We had numerous birthday requests this year like a plea for a go cart, and "How about a trip to Bermuda to swim with dolphins?" Well, we didn't opt for anything like that but we think he was still pretty psyched...

It began with a clue..



Which then led to another...



Inside and out...






Even Lily was in on it...




The final clue to find the treasure...



Lovin the new laptop...









I believe heaven sent us a miracle...



In the form of a compassionate, funny, persistent, intense, blue eyed, curly haired, glowing little boy.



Happy Happy Birthday number one son!!

Done Part II

It's been an emotional week. We said Bon Voyage to Anissa who was our au pair for one year as she returned back to France. I think these pics pretty much speak for themselves. Man are we going to miss her!








Another Father's Day came and went...





A quick visit with our cousins in NY...



A dear friend Graduated from High School...


For our boys, school has ended. With a few tears I sorted the papers and reports into what to toss and what to save...


And another pair of sneakers has seen their day...


Ahhh lots of good-byes yes, but are we ready for summer?



OH YEA!!!
