Aquarium

Last day of the year! Wow!! I can't believe 2009 is nearly over! We wish everyone a Happy New Years!!! We got surprised by a little (4 inches) snow storm today while we were visiting the Mystic Aquarium. Here are a few pictures! HAPPY NEW YEARS!

A Merry White Christmas!

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Hopefully your Christmas was as joyful as ours! The boys are at such a great age! We went to Christmas Eve mass to celebrate "baby Jesus" birthday as bryson would call it. I was really thankful we attended the Children's mass. A lot of kids! So it wasn't as noticeable when Brady took off running down to the front of the church to get a glimpse of the manger set.

We had a very nice relaxing Christmas Day! We opened gifts, played with all of our new toys, then went out for a afternoon of sledding before Christmas dinner! Santa was very good to us this year! We are very Thankful! The boys got power wheels jeep, Sean got some wii games and Santa surprised me with a treadmill! Thank God no more running in this cold Connecticut weather!!!

Lake Placid

Sean and I just got back from a week trip to Lake Placid, NY. Sean's mom came up and watch the boys for our getaway. Lake Placid is where they held the 1932 and 1980 Olympics. We really enjoyed visiting all the Olympic sites, skiing, and relaxing!

The Olympic Oval. This is where the speed skating was held. Can you imagine outdoor speed skating in Febuary? brrr..

This was the view from our hotel bacony. Amazing!!

Happy Birthday and Baptism

Happy Birthday Brady!!!

I can't believe our baby boy is already two! It's amazing how fast you have grown! Your such a pleasure to be around. Your always happy! You love your sleep too!! You love to take long naps. You tell us when your ready for a bath and to go night night! You love your crib. We tried to move you to a big boy bed and you cried and said " I want crib back". So we gave you your beloved crib back. Your best friend is your big brother. You are determined to do everything he does. You cry every time we drop him off at preschool.

We often call you Dennis the Menace; your always finding something to get in to, with your sweet and loving smile your hard to discipline. When you get caught doing something your not suppose to be doing you look at us and say " Sorry mommy" with a sweet grin. You love to ice skate, swim and hit baseballs. Your all boy! You will play for hours with cars, trains and trucks!

You had a great 2nd Birthday Party. You had a train cake, just what you wanted. We invited eleven on your friends over. You played in the bounce house and had a lot of fun hitting the pinata!

It's about time!!

Sean and I got the boys baptised this weekend. We have been meaning to do this for a while, but it has been a challenge finding the right time based on everyone schedule. They had a great private baptism. The ceremony was really nice!

A little snow!

We had our first snow of the season. It was just a little dusting, but it got the boys very excited!! Sean and I took them for a walk in the woods behind our house. It was a lot of fun!! Here are few photos I took during our walk.

Nothing like hot chocolate on a cold winter day.
