I had some friends over for a ladies night.  The next morning Paige poured herself a glass of juice...OH BOY!

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln’s name was mentioned on TV.  He must have been referenced in the past tense. 

Paige said: “Wait? Is Abraham Lincoln dead?”

Luke: “Paige, don’t say dumb things.”

Mom said: “You didn’t know that Paige?”

Paige said: “Welllllll…I thought he was a president so he should still be alive!”

Snow Days!

Even though we have been having super warm weather this winter we've had a few storms and one snow day so far.

This is how we spend our snow days:

Trying on winter hats -

Filling out our valentines -

Making coffee cake -

Trying on our bathing suits, just in case!

Painting -

 Snuggling -

 bundling up to go outside -

 First play in the snow for Ali -

Didn't go so well -

Playing Star Wars (Ali lost) -

 More baking -

 And more baking -

The kids have been getting some good skiing in so far this year.  We went to VT with our friends over NYE and Jay has been taking them to Nashoba on Friday nights.  Paige has really picked it up this year!

Ali and I hold the fort at home.

What day is it?

Paige:  “What day is tomorrow? Is it a weekend?”

Mom:  “Paige, you need to learn your days of the week”

Paige: “Well, how am I supposed to know all of that stuff, I’m not a news person.  Someone who knows what is going on with the news and weather and stuff.  Those people on TV.  I can’t know all these things”

Just us!

and beary -

Paige got a single pink rose from Nana's funeral.  She carried it around all day until I convinced her to put it in a vase in her room.

Our Nana

HEALY, Gertrude A. Age 90, of Falmouth, formerly of Watertown and Brighton, January 20, 2016. Loving mother of Bette Peabody of Falmouth and John Patrick Minerella and his wife Christine of Plymouth. She was the adoring grandmother of Jay Peabody and his wife Karen of Holliston and Kelly Parent and her husband Scott of Stow. Great grandmother to Madison and Chase Parent, Luke, Paige and Ali Peabody. Loving sister of the late Phyllis Sullivan and Betty Kingston. She leaves behind 12 nieces and nephews and their loving familes.

We love and will miss our Nana!!

Happy 9th Birthday Luke!!

Happy 9th birthday Luke :)

We went to dinner to celebrate.  Luke decide to have a sleepover with 5 boys from the neighborhood for his party this year.  

He also made the decision, independent of us,  to donate his birthday money to a homeless shelter.  Instead of gifts, he asked his friends $5 to his cause.  He ended up with $69 to donate to the shelter!!

Paige and Ali did a great job making Luke's birthday cake & cupcakes for his party -

Paige lost her first tooth!

Paige lost her first tooth today!  

Waited until it was hanging by a thread and not a second too soon because she had an appointment with the dentist the following week to get it pulled.

So proud after it came out.
