When I heard that we were going to be getting yet another snow storm on my birthday, I was not happy!  Partly because I don’t want anymore snow and partly because that would mean we were stuck in the house all day.  I wanted to take Evan to school, take Logan to music class, maybe go out for lunch or...

Today we made some more Valentine’s!  Thank goodness for crafts and projects when it is too cold and the snow is too deep to play outside.  Gotta keep busy somehow during this colder and snowier than normal winter!

Today we returned to a favorite place that we hadn’t been in a while and introduced a friend to it.  We hadn’t been to Playtown Express in quite some time.  Let’s put it this way, not since Logan was in the bucket car seat!  We met Emily and Stacey there so that they could check it out now that they...

Logan seems to be growing up at super speed these days.  He is no longer a baby but rather a toddler with a personality and a half and a mind of his own.  He wants to do and see EVERYTHING that his big brother does!  While it is nice that he is so interested, it is sometimes hard because he...

Evan has been coloring, drawing and creating more and more everyday.  This morning he did a portrait of Logan. The artist hard at work Notice Logan's PJs Portrait of Logan by Evan

Evan has been busy making Valentine’s Day projects this week. On Wednesday, it was Valentine’s Day Trail Mix for snack for school with Valentine’s M&M’s. I think this one needs a few more pretzels.   On Thursday, it was assembling Valentine’s Day cards for his classmates.  2 erasers, 1 pencil, 1 Justice League super hero card, 1 notepad and 1...

Logan turned 18 months old today!  One and a half already!?!?  When and how did that happen??  Too quickly that’s for sure!! It’s hard to believe that 18 months ago we were just getting to know our little guy.  Now I can’t imagine my life without him.  He has brought so much love and joy into our life and filled...

You may remember that we started taking Evan to music class at Gymboree shortly after Logan was born.  We went for about 7 months when the classes were ending for summer vacation. Well last week, I started taking Logan again on Thursday’s while Evan is at school.  It works out perfectly that I can drop Evan off, go to music...

Every year, my cousin Mark puts a post on Facebook about Truck Day, the day in which all of the Red Sox gear leaves Boston on a truck bound for Fort Myers.  It means that spring is coming and that baseball season is getting closer.  This year, just in time for truck day, which is Saturday, the boys got some...
