Not Enough Time

This weekend, the boys were on their own. Some quality boy time together with lacrosse games, movies and slurpies. For Lily and I, it was girls weekend as we traveled to NY for a visit with my sister and my 7 year old niece. There was cousins bonding going on over French toast and Barbies... A morning dance party broke out... Lily made some friends, while I learned a thing or two about bows and glitter... and a talent show wrapped up our Saturday... We shopped for furniture and didn't get kicked out... Caved in to the treats... and yes...more dancing. Silly faces and playing together till the end... and as always, saying goodbye stinks... So great to hang with just the girls!

That's A Wrap!

The season began as we honored our angel. On her birthday we trimmed the tree...








There were ornaments handmade, old and new...





A Christmas miracle occurred with a painless photo shoot...











We became pastry chefs for a day...









and embraced tradition with family...







We made it home for Christmas Day...



















and welcomed the New Year with more food, family and friends.







Sweet wishes from all of us! We hope 2012 brings you health and happiness!

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.
