Spring is on it’s way…At least according to the calendar!  And today it actually felt like it!  We spent much of the day outside in Boston with many others who are ready for spring to hurry up and get here.  We started at Thornton’s for breakfast where we met Daddy’s cousin Matt who was up from Philly for the weekend....

Evan had his first school picture day today.  If you have been following our boys via Facebook you know that he decided to cut his own hair on Tuesday afternoon, less than 48 hours before picture day!  Here is the back story to that haircut.  Evan was supposed to be napping on Tuesday afternoon while I was in the basement...

We’ve been doing a few old things that we haven’t done in a while again lately…Gymboree open play for both Evan and Logan (the last time we went, Logan wasn’t even crawling yet!), making meatballs from Evan’s first High Five magazine last May, story & craft time at the Millbury Public Library (I don’t think we’d been since August)…and the...

Logan gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Red Sox Bat Boy".   A better shot of the front of his costume Not the best capture on video but I still like his strut at the beginning and his disrobing at the end )

This post was drafted for February 23rd but I am finally getting around to writing it on August 18th…Almost 6 months later!  I often “draft” a post to remind myself to go back and write about something that happened at a later date.  For a post with this type of title, I often even leave myself notes about what photos,...

Logan went to the pediatrician for his 18 month well visit today.  He has changed so much over the last few months…walking then running and talking more and more everyday.  He is running around so much that he hasn’t gained any weight!  He’s still just over 25 pounds in the 37th percentile which is funny seeing as he started out...

We spent the better part of this past weekend with four little boys: Danny, Sean, Evan and Logan.  Just before Christmas, I read an article about giving kids experiences instead of gifts.  I think it is a great idea and decided it would be fun to have Danny and Sean come sleepover at our house (without Uncle Dan and Auntie...

This winter has been tough…just ask any New Englander and they’ll tell you.  (They’ll probably tell you if you don’t ask too!)  It has been snowy and cold!  So cold that the snow never melts, it just piles up and up and up.  If you are 18 months old (or any age in my opinion) that isn’t a good thing....

Happy Valentine's Day to my two sweet little valentine's! What did we get, Evan? Ooo...I see some...  Candy! Beautiful brightly colored roses from my hubby

Today we spent the day helping out a good friend who due to back trouble isn’t able to drive right now.  We picked him up at his house in Hopkinton and brought him to his doctor’s appointment in Worcester.  While he was at his appointment, we took care of a few things at the Auburn mall - got mom and...
