Music time!

Whatever Abby does, Emily does

Emily thinks that Abby's room is the best place in the house. She is not really allowed in there due to the amount of tiny toys Abby has. Whenever Emily does get the chance to get into her big sister's room she never misses the chance to grab Abby's music player. Emily likes to put the headphones on her head and then she proceeds to push all the buttons she can on the MP3 player. She usually stands there and sings and dances. I actually thought she was listening to music until I realized she didn't have the darn thing on! She knows it plays music but since she couldn't figure it out she made up her own music and danced to it! Here

is picture of her holding the MP3 player but not listening to any music.

Outside fun in the Sun!

NYC! Teeth! Slip and Slide!

I know it's been awhile since I last posted and I am sorry. Life has a way of getting in the way! Let's see we took a family trip to NYC, which was amazing and I can't wait to get back. Emily has been sick with an ear infection and I just discovered 2 new teeth today. Jason is preparing to have lasik eye surgery next week and then I am looking forward to an all girls weekend in Atlantic City with two of my oldest friends, Carrie and Carrie! It should be just like old times! I am looking forward to a kid and husband free weekend and some serious girl talk! The weather here in NJ the last 2 days has been unbelievably hot! Like 90 degrees hot. I put the slip and slide and water table out for the girls yesterday and they had a blast. Emily really didn't like it when Abby would go sliding down the slip and slide. Abby tends to yell and scream a lot. She is only 6 after all and everytime she yelled, Emily thought something was wrong so she would yell at Abby. The

Learning to ride a bike!

Abby has been trying to learn to ride her bike for quite sometime now. We started late last summer and she wasn't ready. This year we've only tried 2 other times but today was the day! She got out there and started riding her bike like an old pro! We are so proud of her! Now we just need to teach her how to start and stop all by herself.

Emily, Emily, Emily

She is cracking her dear old Mom up today. She decided to put a purple headband on her head and she has been wearing it for quite some time now. She is walking around with a kid's size broom, a princess cell phone with her headband on her head. The funniest part is she's talking on the phone with her head at an angle. I love it! She is quite the character these days. Also her first official word is "hi". We hear it all the time these days and it's wonderful!

11 years and Counting!

Wednesday was Jason and mine's 11th wedding anniversary. We fed the kids early and made ourselves a nice dinner of steak, lobster and bacon wrapped asparagus. Yummy! We plan to go out to dinner all by ourselves next week. I must admit that the last 11 years have flown by. He truly is my best friend and I know I am his. We tell each other everything and still enjoy spending lots of time together even after all these years. We've grown up together and thankfully not apart from each other. Marriage is hard work and it takes two of us to make it work. We appreciate all the kind words our friends and most of our family expressed to us on our day. I know we have many, many happy years ahead of us. Thanks to all!
