It has been a while!!

I have been having a lot of trouble with my camera so taking many less pictures than normal. That will all change this weekend when my gorgeous goddaughter makes her First Holy Communion and I get my girls in dresses for a day!
We got a special treat a few weekends ago when Katie came over for a visit and ended up getting to sleep over.There is nothing my girls love more than a cousins sleepover. In fact, when the girls got their bunk beds we originally thought one of them might use the trundle bed but they quickly informed us that it was katie's bed. So each of the bedroom's occupied by our children has an extra bed in it for each of Pat and Karla's three kids - kind of cool!

popcorn and melted M&M's for snack!

My beautiful niece, Katie. We love having her at our house anytime that she will come the only problem is that the three little girls fight over her and hug her way too much!

Molly went to the eye doctor a few weeks ago and it turns out that she needs glasses all the time now. I know that they are working because she never takes them off except when she is dancing!

My gorgeous girl in her new glasses. She took Auntie Meg with her to pick them out and ended up with glasses very much like Auntie Meg's -coincidence? I think not!

Brian went to Geece with his high school classes and brought back these adorable and authentic shirts for the kids - they were so excited!

Brian got Ellie a white one with blue stripes and she insisted on wearing it to bed that night!

The three girls were all cuddling on the couch one night and I couldn't resist 1 or 10 or 20 pictures!

I truly am the luckiest mom in theworld - those smiles melt my heart!



My favorite one because they were giggling like crazy! Oh - Yeah and that night Auntie karla had brought over bags of Katie's clothes that no longer fit her and my girls instantly put them on because they wanted to smell like Katie! Not sure if that is adorable or creepy!

Annie and Lizzie are looking less and less alike as they get older!

Each and every day - at least once a day - I look at my kids and wonder what I did to get so lucky. How did I end up with the bright, beautiful and loving kids?

I could stare at these pictures all day!



Funny faces!

My dancing star - she was so excited that Molly let her put some pre-wrap in her hair and I could not believe how gorgeous she looked!

I love that little freckle face! I can't believe she is going to be a 1st grader next year - where did my baby go?


I just thought this was hysterical. Our grille bit the dust so I got Bob one for his birthday - it came fully assembled and we were thrilled but getting it home was a challenge. Bob got the boys to each take a side and they walked it home fromWalmart since it didn't fit in the van.


My pear blossom tree is blooming - Spring is now officially here!

Lila and meg spent the afternoon with us in the backyard last wekend and Lila could not get enough of Molly - girl. I love how dirty Lila's face got -that girl can play hard!

Annie loving on Daddy - Annie said she loves Spring because she can wear dresses and get dirty and play outside all the day long! Love that kids philosophy on life!

Bob took this picture because it has to be a record of some sort - Molly and I were leaving the house at 6am for a feis in Stamford,CT - it took us 2 hours to get there and we were exhausted by the timewe got home! Molly got a third in her Hornpipe - her hardest dance so we were very excited and proud of her!

The kids got to pay $5 and wear their only clothes to school today so they were very excited!

My sweet girls!








This is my absolute favor - Annie loves being the big sister!
GNM - ILY!
