Not much going on!

When I thought I had to move the blog to private I got lots of e-mails from people I don't know who follow the blog because they found it through other people's blogs. I had over 135 people e-mail me and only 24 were family - not sure why this would be at all interesting to others but lots of people had questions so I thought I would answer a few of them through the next few weeks.

Deb asked if we are currently foster parents - we are not. When I got pregnant with Annie we had to become inactive for a year (DCF requires this). When we were elligible to go back to being foster parents - Annie was about 4 months old and the social worker called to set up an interview for the following week to reactivate us as foster parents. Between the time of that call and the interview I found out I was pregnant with Elizabeth and the rest is history. We were able to take placement of Ellie as an exceptional placement because she is biologically related to Peter. We are currently being relicensed as foster parents and hope this will go through by next week! Bob and I love being foster parents and despite all of the bad press that DCF and the foster care system get our experiences have been mostly positive and the rewards far outweigh the challenges!

Ellie resting on Grammy's arm. She was inconsolable about 5 seconds before this but Grammy found a way to calm her down!
Oh - and did I mention that Grammy was also calming Lizzie down at the same time. They love their Grammy and I love that my parents don't get ESPN U and had to come to our house to watch the UCONN Big East games for a few nights!

Love this picture of Bob and Ellie. That is a typical Ellie smile - all you have to do is make eye contact with her and she gives you one of her big grins! I could just eat her up!

I always like to see the pictures on my camera when I get home from work - it gives me an idea of what goes on with Auntie Meg when I'm not home! I am quite sure that Auntie Meg doesn't use the word NO a whole lot with Annie - she's her aunt - she's entitled to some indulgence!

Annie regressing a bit!

I grabbed dinner at Xpect in Cromwell and was able to stop and finally use my coupon at DQ for Dilly Bars - the kids LOVED them!

That's one way to do it!

Peter can't get enough of the cherry dip from DQ!

My pretty girl enjoying her Dilly Bar - Molly would do ANYTHING for ice cream.

Annie was adorable eating her ice cream! What a doll she is!

Dinner question - If you could be any day of the week what day would you be? Peter - Thursday because he has gym, Molly -- Sunday because it is Papa's birthday, Mommy - Sunday because we hang out in pj's all day, Daddy - Sunday because we get up and drink coffee and read the paper!

Off to sleep while the babies sleep!

GNM - ILY!
