Bye Bye Caterpillar –

We are raising a VERY considerate little boy. Before he puts his play-doh away, he says “bye bye, see you tomorrow!” Too cute!!

Handsome Boy!!

Today after work daddy was asking Luke about his day. He pointed to himself and said "Handsome Boy!"

Before I had kids I could not have imagined that any of the below phrases would come out of my mouth. Now not only can I be heard saying these and many many more like these on a daily basis, I don’t think a thing of it. Although sometimes I do laugh after having a 3 minute debate with a toddler about things like why Marley can't come in the bathtub with him.

“Marley, if you eat another crayon you are going in your crate for the rest of the day!”

“Luke, please don’t color on your sister’s head again”

“Don’t sticker her either”

“No Luke, Marley does not need his teeth brushed with your toothbrush”

“If you ask where the ice cream truck is one more time, it will never come back this way”

“Marley if you eat another paper towel you’re outside for the rest of the night”

“Yes honey, mommy feeds baby Paige from the belly button”

“No honey, I don’t know the name of the man who cuts the grass”

“And I don’t know where he goes when he leaves here”

More Beach Time!

I love being on the beach!! Last weekend, my friend, Will, and his family came down for a beach day. We had a great time. Weather was great. We played in the sand and water all day!!! Then, when we were too tired to play anymore, we came home for a bit before dinner. We went to an outside restaurant down in the village. We colored while the big people talked. THEN it got even better! We went for ice cream afterward!!! I hope Will comes to visit me again soon!!!

Playing on the beach with Will and his daddy, Danny. I woke up the next morning asking "where did Danny go!" I must have loved hangin' out!!


Will has LOTS of fun beach toys!!


What could be more relaxing then a snooze on the beach :)

Picture Time -

We had someone come and take pictures of the kids a few weekends ago. Here are a few shots…

Happy Birthday America!!

We had a great 4th weekend. We went to Mimi’s on the cape for the annual lobster dinner. We were able to pack in a day at the beach and watched the fireworks there too before coming home.



Sunday we went out on our friend’s boat, Luke’s friend Jacob (AKA a-cup). It was big fun. Luke went tubing for the first time. I think he go too much salt water in the face because it didn’t last long. He was saying “I’m scared!” But he loved being on the boat and going to the beach with Jacob. Mommy loved it too…now mommy wants a boat too!!!

I Draw’ed!!!

Yesterday, Luke came over to me with a pen in his hand (I knew that couldn’t be good!) and said, “I draw’ed on baby Paige’s head”. Lovely…..

Don’t worry Paige, I’m cataloging all this so you can get back at him one day :)

The pic is hard to see, but I assure you it was tough to get off in the bath...

I’m ½ a year old!!!

Can you believe it?? Paige is already 6 months old. She is growing so fast. Here are her latest stats from her 6 months Dr. apt:
Height: 28 inches (90%)
Weight: 18.6lbs (90%)




I know you aren’t supposed to compare but…it’s fun and what do they expect, these are the only two kids I have. I compare them. So let’s review Luke’s 6 months stats:
Height: 29 inches
Weight: 19.4lbs

Baby Luke (it's fun to look back...I almost don't remember him this small!!!)

Thomas the Train!!!

This past weekend mom and dad took me to see Thomas the Train at Edaville RR. It was big fun. My friends Jackson, Katie and Christopher came too. Will had a birthday party. We can’t ever seem to get us all at an event these days. There were rides. I’m getting pretty good at going on rides this summer (see my hands up pic!) We got to ride on Thomas too! BUT the most fun I think was fishing with daddy. We (mostly me!) caught a BIG BIG fishie. Daddy said he must have been the biggest fishie in the WHOLE pond. That was lots of fun. Daddy said he would buy me my own fishing pole and we could do boys only fishing trips. I think that would be lots of fun. Leave mommy and baby Paige at home to do girl stuff.

I also had fun dancin' to the music in the tent. Good thing I've been taking music class and knew what to do up on stage with those instruments. he he...

Beach Time!!!

Although the weather has been horrendous so far this summer; rain…rain...and more rain, we did manage to squeak in our first beach day this year. We loaded up the beach wheelie cart (a must for walking to the beach!!) with all the “stuff” and headed down. Luke got to show off his beach bod for the first time this year. Paige relaxed under the umbrella. We’re waiting for the weather to cooperate so we can take full advantage of being so close to the water!

This is a view of our beach:
