Sully and Liam at the Farmer's Market

"Oh look, Sully, they're selling brats!"
"What are brats for, Mamma?"
"What are brats for, Sully?"
"For buns, Mom!"

The Bahamas!

Our family enjoyed a little Spring get-away to the Bahamas! We were joined by my parents and sisters, and their boy friends. All had a wonderful time on The Island! We enjoyed fresh conch, and "red snappa", swam with the dolphins, took lingering walks along the beach collecting small treasures, did some very serious construction work on the beach, and felt the ocean tickle our toes as the waves rushed in. What a trip! Here are some of our better pics.

No, the ocean was not THAT turquoise--it was more brilliant in person!!

Thanks Mom and Dad, for helping us get there!

Liam Talking and Some Videos

Liam has starting talking recently! He says, "mama", "dada", "doe" (dog), and "ba" (ball). He's also doing a good amount of signing, mostly "please", "eat", "drink", and "candy" (yes, he signs candy).

Here's the latest and greatest from Sully and Liam. Happy spring everyone!

Jill's Birthday

In January (I know, I know, it's February!) we had a birthday party for Jill at our house. We baked her a chocolate cake, made her wear the birthday hat, and everything! Here are some funny pics of the event.

Dance Parties!

Sully and Liam LOVE having dance parties! We get out the dress-up clothes and instruments, put on Pandora's bubble gum oldies, and party down! Here's a good shot of Liam. Drag in his future???

Haven't Posted in a While!

We've been so busy! Here's the latest and greatest:

Liam is running all over the place now! He has started blowing kisses, waving good-bye, doing the "Wheels on the Bus," and showing us where some of his body parts are. So cute! He also LOVES to dance. He had everyone at IHOP in hysterics with his dancing the other day while we waited for a table. Our name was called and the little guy was gett'in down so hard, he refused to come with us. Just kept bopp'in along with a silly little grin on his face! So cute!


Sully is reading some words. He is definitely two and a half, as we constantly hear, "I do it myself!" as he undoes whatever we've just done to do just that!

Pat is enjoying a trip to South Carolina to see our friend Teeny Gentile get married. He's staying in a big house with a pool, and complained just before leaving that he, "couldn't even pack pants because it's so warm there." Any sympathy??? He's been working lots and spending lots of time with his little boys.

I enjoyed a wonderful surprise Valentine's massage before Pat left and am looking forward to a day off of scrap booking when he returns. Until then, the boys and I are trying to enjoy the gloomy warm up here in Minnesota by puddle jumping :)
