December Update

What happened to me making more regular posts?  Well we had a very fun and busy month of December.  Bonne Maman came to visit in the beginning of the month and was a huge help with the boys.  They loved playing with her and Mason learned a few new French words.  Uncle Peter and Aunt [...]

School

Well the days of Mason crying and not wanting me to leave him at school are over.  He loves it now and even the teachers have remarked about how things have changed.  The other day I was in the classroom for a few minutes and he said to Ms. Eleanne “How come Mommy’s still here?” [...]

Fall 2010

The boys have been enjoying the fall weather and especially the leaf piles.  They both love jumping in them and throwing them at each other.  We also had a fun Halloween with Mason’s first time trick or treating and a Halloween party for the whole family at The Boccaccio’s house.  At first Mason was a [...]

Pumpkin Picking

We had a great time pumpkin picking at Jones Farm in Shelton, CT.  It was our first time to this farm and they had a huge selection and fun activities for the kids.  Mason and I went through a corn maze that he really enjoyed and they both loved running around through the pumpkin patch [...]

First Steps

Cal gave me a wonderful birthday present by taking his first steps the day before I turned 32.  He has continued to take 2-3 steps a couple times each day since, but prefers crawling at this point.  I’m sure in no time the 2 brothers will be running circles around each other.

Birthday Continued

Here are a few pics from Cal’s (and Uncle Peter’s and Aunt Shannon’s) birthday party in Crosswicks. As you can see, he thoroughly enjoyed his cupcake.

Happy Birthday Cal!

My sweet little baby boy turned 1 on 8/26.  I know everyone says it, but it’s really hard to believe a year has gone by already.  I clearly remember being very pregnant last summer and waiting for him to arrive.  Now he is such a big boy, laughing and babbling all the time and crawling [...]

Harford Fair

We took a mid-week trip to the lake last week to go to the Harford Fair with Mason and Cal.  Nana, Grandpa and Uncle Mark were also there and we had a great time at the fair and swimming in the lake.  We have wonderful memories of attending the fair as kids and it was [...]
