Today after going to see Papa & Gramma’s new place at Indian Creek (more on that in another post), we took the boys to play mini golf - pirate mini golf!  Unfortunately, the course wasn’t stroller friendly so we couldn’t bring Logan.  Thankfully, Papa agreed to watch Logan so that Daddy and I could golf with Evan.  Good thing too...

In 2011, Papa attended a Red Sox spring training game and was able to get a home run ball hit by Jacoby Ellsbury for Evan.  I didn’t think of it last year but this year I sent the ball to Florida with Papa and Gramma in hopes that Papa would be able to get Jacoby to autograph the ball for...

Yesterday Danny turned 6!  Today we celebrated with a Cowabunga Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle karate party.  Evan has been practicing his karate kicks and jumps and was so excited to participate.  He was the youngest one at the party who was actually listening to and  (mostly) following along to Mr. Russo’s instructions with the other kids.  It was a nicely...

We have had a quiet week resting up and getting ready for our trip to Florida.  This will be Logan’s first flight and another new state for him.  He isn’t quite as well traveled as Evan was as an infant but I don’t think he’ll complain too much.  We’ve had a lot to do to get ready including trips to...

Where did everyone go, Evan? Home, they all went home...just like me in my little "house" Ok then, let's have a silly hat, lazy,  PJ day!

All of our visitors have returned home and we are enjoying a quiet day at home.  Here are some pictures from the time that we spent just enjoying our time together!  Fun to have an opportunity to have everyone together at once!

In addition to playing in the snow and having lots of fun at home both inside and out, we went on a few fun outings while Hannah was here.  We went to Playtown Express, the playground, Irish music class at gymboree, the Boston’s Children’s Museum, and the New England Aquarium, where Evan and Logan saw their first IMAX 3D movie....

There is no question about it... These boys love their daddy And their daddy loves them! Uh, Dad, where's mine?

There have been quite a few silly hats and head accessories in our house over the last week and a half.  Some for Evan, some for Logan, some for both boys.  Thankfully Logan just goes with the flow and lets Evan do what ever he wants to do.  Wonder how long that will last???

The Smucker’s arrived from Montana on Thursday and with them they brought what will hopefully be the last snow storm of the 2013 winter…a 2-day, 18+ inch storm!  It started snowing on Wednesday afternoon and didn’t stop until late in the day on Friday!  We kept thinking we would wait for the snow to stop before taking the kids out...
