SpaceFarms!

We went last weekend to Space Farms with our friends The Katonis. It's a giant farm with all sorts of animals, kind of like a zoo but even better! We had a great time, especially feeding the deer and seeing the baby bear take a bath. The boys had a blast on the tire swing and we even got to see a baby horse that was 3 days old! Adorable, and nearly the same size as Justin.

Here's just a few pics as I haven't downloaded mine yet...this one is from Abby. What a big kid he is turning out to be...

Happy 18 months Justin!

Yesterday was Justin's half birthday. I can't believe my baby is so big! And it happened so fast!

Happy Birthday Justeeeee! We love you!

The Teenage Years

Today was crazy hair day at camp. Hopefully this will be the worst of what I see as a mom in 10 years. Shout out to Colleen our neighbor for having gold hair spray!! Woo Hoo!

Dinos

It has been toooo long since a post! We've had a lot of fun this past summer with the boys, but it's passing by too quickly like most things that are wonderful.

Jordan and I were lucky enough to go to Walking with Dinosaurs at Madison Square Garden this past weekend. Bubbee bought Jordan and I tickets last year and it was fantastic. Dinosaurs and scientists worked together to create 15 different dinosaurs, both puppets and robotic -- the tallest was Allosauraus at 36 feet tall. It was absolutely spectacular.

A few photos of our favorites, trex and allosauraus:


Thanks MOM!!

BLah blah blah

Justin has been babbling constantly. It's very sweet, since he firmly believes that he is making perfect sense to everyone. To be fair, he has come up with quite a few new words in his vocabulary in the past week or so:

muah muah (kiss kiss)
caaaaah (boston version of car)
caaaahe (fall in spanish)
no no no no (no)
dordaaaaan (jordan)
ummy (yummy)
tiggie tiggie (tickle tickle)

Now that William has returned from Colombia (with video camera in hand), I'll try to get a video of him babbling away!

Ahhhhh Summer is Here!

So William left for Colombia last Friday and I decided to be a brave mommy and venture to the beach with both boys solo. Overall, we had a fantastic time. Jordan, at this point, is a pro on the beach. Loves to build, dig, chase seagulls and run back and forth to the ocean to collect buckets of water and shells. I wasn't sure how Justin would react. I should have expected, with his fearless personality, that of course he would plop himself down in the icy cold water and not want to move his big tush. He loved the water, ate the sand and chased his brother everywhere. I truly did not sit down for 2 days straight. I guess that's the exercise I"ll be getting while William is away! What a great time we had.
Here are a couple of photos from outside the Margate home of the boys and at the beach. Damn they are cute!





Before we left to come back home, the boys were lucky enough to see their Bubbee and Zayda for a quick italian meal.

T-Ball!

It's t-ball time folks! We're nearly at our last game for the season, but by now Jordan not only looks adorable, but knows how to play too. God bless.

Last night at the game, I had to chase Justin off the field 3 times. He had a total fit, as he thinks he can play with the big kids. He did, however, get to shake hands with the other team at the end of the day.
