Happy Easter!

Let Me Try Again

Well, I thought I would keep this thing updated but I never had a diary I was good at...not a journal person...so I will try again. Christmas has come and gone and we are half way through January. The weather is finally cold after a few December days in the 70's!
We had a great Christmas. Rosie and Papa came to NC for the first Christmas away from CT for both of them. It was stress free and fun!
Kaitlin is officially 18 months old and Molly is 3.5 going on 21. The girls are great! Kaitlin is a Shrimp at swim lessons and Molly is a Pike. Both love the water and are doing very well. Not sure "Broadway Dreams" is making Molly into a Broadway star but she is having fun with dance. Both girls love there school, Molly is trying to get letters and spelling down...which makes for an interesting car ride (what starts with y, does horse start h?, how do spell...?) Kaitlin is in a Mom's Day Out Program and she is doing great. WE got her progress report back (shed is 1) and she seems to be hitting all milestones especially in spirituality. When she hears God's name she claps and dances.....I guess she gets that from her Dad since her Mom is learning with her 5th grade Religious Education class she teaches everything she forgot or didn't know about Catholicism.
We are still enjoying the South and we hope to keep you posted!

Merry Christmas!

Halloween/Thanksgiving/And In Between

I know it is kind of late but here are the girls at Halloween but also Thanksgiving and in between the two! We are all doing fine and are now 75% decorated for Christmas......it appears that 99.9% of folks down here are ready for Christmas the week before Thanksgiving! It has been fun since are old decorations don't fit the "theme" of the new house so Molly and I have been having fun! The girls are great and getting big. Kaitlin can talk a little.....Molly makes up for the rest of the time Kaitlin isn't babbling! They love their new play set and love being outside. It has got cold but it was 73 on Thanksgiving which was odd but we enjoyed it! Anyhow.....we will try to post some pictures as we progress into the next holiday.

Molly's Halloween Dance

Molly is enrolled in dance classes, and this was their first showcase, a chance to see what she's been learning. Shake that tailfeather kiddo! Oh, and have we mentioned that's a wig?

Happy Fall

Well I can hardly believe it is the end of October! We are getting used to NC and our house is finally coming together! Molly loves her school and Kaitlin loves going to Mom's Day Out once a week. We are enjoying the many activities and festivals NC has to offer! In the pictures you can see the girls having fun....they are getting big! Kaitlin is a whopping 26lbs!

Where have we been?

I know it has been a while since we updated this page. We have been quite busy!

The girls and I hit the road with Mike one day and visited Raleigh. Our sate capital was full of history and fun! Molly and Kaitlin loved the Natural Sciences Museum...and DC isn't the only place where museums are free! Molly and Kaitlin loved the free buffet at the Hampton Inn...you got to put stuff in special ovens. The also loved the free snacks in the lobby. We got to see our friends the Hayners.

Molly started school while I was on a business trip....but Mike held down the fort with his Dad and not only did she wear the right outfit, he also took pictures! After her first day she went to her first ballet class. Mike survived the putting on of the tights and leotard as well as pulling her hair back into a bow! Way to go Dad! Molly and her best friend Sawyer go to class at Broadway Dreams.....we hope these dreams come true! Molly like tap better than ballet....she wants to wear the tap shoes all the time.

Kaitlin started Moms Day Out. She is enjoying her experience.....although she says bye bye the whole time they are packing her up.

The following week Rosie and Papa came to town. We had lots of fun with them. We headed to the mountains and ended up in Blowing Rock. It is beautiful! We had lots of fun hanging out with them.

Our next adventure was to Lazy 5 Ranch with Drew, Garret and Kate. It was crazy...animals came up to your car throughout this hour long trek through the woods. We hadn't even gotten through the gate and Mommy, Kaitlin and Molly were screaming at the Emu who poked his head in at us.
As you can see between the travel and visits we have been busy. In between I have posted pictures of what we like to do for fun! Cleaning, hanging out with Vivian and Henry (our neighbors), riding bikes...being silly!
