Happy Father's Day!

In our eyes, Jimmy a.k.a. "Daddy" is #1! Words cannot express to the full extent what a wonderful father Jimmy is to our precious children. He is a superhero to Ethan & causes Daphne to have a twinkle in her eye! He is such a great role model...from his work ethic to family values. We are soo lucky to have him around. We love you dear, "happy day".

Happy Birthday!

Jimmy is another year older...Ethan was a huge help in making Daddy's birthday cake. He especially enjoyed "testing" the icing! Happy Birthday, Jimmy! We celebrated with cake & ice cream with some of our favorite people,

our family :-)

2 1/2 Years...

Yes, our little man is 2 1/2 going on 20! He talks non-stop! Ethan is MR. Personality...he likes to do EVERYTHING his way...oppsie gets that from Mommy...and is extremely bossy...yes, I know he gets that from me too! He is definitely a leader and has quite the sense of humor. Ethan's budding knowledge and understanding baffles us at times...he is quite the sponge. He loves to learn and figure out how things work...we caught him with an encyclopedia at Grandmom's just the other day! Ethan's fascination with trucks, tractors & construction equipment continues...along with power tools and machines! He does manage to fit in an interest for sports as well...it looks like his athletic ability takes after Jimmy, lucky for him! Recently, Ethan has taken up "fishing". Ethan has now accomplished riding a tricycle & is a terrific BIG brother! (unfortunately he dislikes getting his photo taken!)

8 months old...

Wow is our little Daphne growing up fast! She just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter. Daphne has such a laid back and pleasant personality. Recently, she is showing that she wants to be more independent and on the go...learning quickly from her big brother! Daphne is making great strides towards her milestones...this is what she has been up to in the past month: holding a cup/bottle, waving, "Dada" "MaMa", pull to stand, beginning cruising, transitioning from sit to quadruped & quadruped to sit, crawling backwards, spinning in supine 360 degrees & walking with hand support. Her smiles melt our hearts. Daphne continues to be in awe of her big brother. She is doing extremely well with his wrestling maneuvers and rough play! Oh, Daphne also has 2 teeth!!

Congratulations Tommy & Jamie!!

The perfect "pair"...

We celebrated Tommy & Jamie's Wedding this past weekend...they were as sweet as their pear theme...What a beautiful day! Jamie was radiant & Tommy was handsome (although I must say I had my eye on the best man ;-)...can you guess that was JIMMY!! We had a splendid weekend...starting off with a trip to the park to visit the animals with Aunt Lisa, cousin Harris, & Aunt Trisha...while the "boys" were playing golf of course...then off to a magnificent wedding rehearsal & dinner at the Kimberton Inn... we love our children dearly but it was nice to have some adult time with Jimmy's side of the family...thank you Gramzie Ladybug & Leepa for watching our "angels".

Saturday was enchanted with wonderful weather, a tear jerking ceremony, and jovial reception. Jimmy did a great job with his best man speech! I think we still are a little in shock that Tommy is old enough to be married... yes that means we are actually aging after all!! Thanks Auntie Tiffy for watching the kiddos...Ethan still is asking when you will be sleeping over!!

Happy Mother's Day!

I had one of the best Mother's Day Weekends...We headed down to the shore on Saturday for the day...we strolled the boardwalk (and somehow Ethan scoped out rides before we had even been there for 5 minutes!!), ate lunch at Mack & Manco's (Daphne even enjoyed the pizza crust), ate dinner at the Island Grill, and even played on the beach for a little bit despite the "sand storm" winds. Ethan managed to go for a dip with his clothes on! Nothing will stop him from enjoying the beach! This was Daphne's first excursion to the shore and she seemed to adapt quite well...a beach bum in the making!

Sunday the spoiling continued...Jimmy made breakfast and let me "sleep in"---boy does the meaning of that change with parenthood---I was awakened just before 8am with my car alarm going off shortly after I heard Jimmy ask Ethan to go wake me up for breakfast; I came down stairs to Ethan holding the fob to my car---pushing all the buttons, all the while hitting every button on my phone...once I retrieved it back he apparently was surfing the internet and somehow download an app! Never a dull moment with Ethan around! Then Trisha was sweet enough to make an awesome dinner for us!

I have such a wonderful family & I absolutley love being a Mommy to my precious children!
