Once upon a December...

December has been a fun month and we are anxiously awaiting the Man in Red and the White Stuff from Mother Nature!

We wish you all a glorious holiday and can't wait to share our pictures with you in a few weeks.

Austyn and Mommy's Gingerbread Houses

We had a wonderful day at the North Pole (aka Yankee Candle).

We were so lucky to have all the grandparents and Daddy join us for the fun!

Happy Halloween

So it's been a while...

We've had a busy fall with lots of family and fun but a slow/old computer has put a damper on my updating ~ hopefully that'll be changing soon.

Halloween weekend was filled with lots of treats this year: a halloween party at Austyn's school, a lovely visit from cousin Heather from TX, another halloween party with friends and then Halloween night with KK, Memere, Dziadziu, Nana & Grandpa!

What more could a kid ask for ~ Thanks everyone :) Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Smee & Captain Hook

CAPE COD 2010

So Cape Cod 2010 started with sun then came the clouds and then the rain but we did end with some pretty sunny days ~ so yet again we had a wonderful vacation! This year was all about the rain, digging big (somedays huge) sand holes, belly buttons and condiments: The first is obviously Mother Nature, the second is Austyn loving making (rather watching Daddy make) the biggest hole on the beach and then last two were Cooper's obsessions: yes he loves belly buttons and having everyone show them theirs and he became the condiment king of out nowhere!
