Catching Up - 2013 - Thanksgiving

This year Mimi and Papa joined us for Thanksgiving. We had a lovely time. Jason captured the holiday with the following photos.

And then I took some photos too.

At least we clean up well....

Catching up - 2013 - Scuba Divers

Saturday night is bath night. The boys each get about an hour to play and enjoy some quiet time in the bath. Sometimes each boy will fish or shoot water guns or blow bubbles. On this night, each wanted to be a scuba diver and look for sharks and fish.
Enjoy!

Catching Up - 2013 - November - Super hero Jason

The boys love to dress up. Sometimes they are police or firemen or Batman and Robin. On this day, Jason made up his own super hero.

Catching Up 2 - 2013 - October

October flew by in the wink of an eye. For some in our house, it was all a big build up to c-a-n-d-y.
The boys talked daily about what they would wear, what they would get and what they would eat.
We decorated the house, carved pumpkins and had several costume/wardrobe trials.
Enjoy the photos!

2013 - Catching up - September - Aric and Tori's Wedding

September was a great month. Terrific weather, lost teeth, first day of school, birthday, and a wedding. Joe and I attended my nephew's wedding. Aric and Tori got married on September 14th. They had a lovely ceremony on the lake followed by a terrific reception. Below are some pictures.

Enjoy!

Kevin's First Tooth - GONE!

On the first day of school, Mommy was tickling Kevin and when Kevin turned to look at Mommy, something was different. A nice opening just perfect for a straw, a green bean, or a pixie stick appeared in Kevin's mouth. Kevin's tooth had been wobbly after a serious round of carrot chewing last week so we were on "tooth watch".  Kevin's first day of school was momentous for more than one reason. Below is a picture of our boy.

 The Tooth Fairy paid a visit last night and left stickers and $1. Woo hoo!

First Day of Kindergarten

A major milestone was achieved today! Kevin and Jason attended their first day of Kindergarten at the Miriam McCarthy School.  Kevin's teacher is Miss Galanis and Jason's teacher is Mrs. Martin.

Kevin said his day was great but couldn't recall any details other than the seahorse picture he created. Jason said he made a friend whose name he could no longer remember but they have the same lunch box.

Below are some snaps from the day. Enjoy!
