Proud Mama...

Last Saturday, the boys and I adventured out to Max Hasse park. This is my favorite park in the world because its small and fenced in-perfect for my little guys. Having two 2 year olds may seem hard to a lot of people, but I can tell you its also twice the fun. Evan is saying and doing all kinds of things such as before going down the slide, he'll scream "blastoff!" He also walks down the stairs on the junglegyms all by himself (holding onto the rail of course). Aidan is now counting to five and he is so proud of himself for it! I think all this child needs is for you to get so excited about something he's doing and it makes his confidence soar! By the way, Evan is also counting... and he makes it all the way to eleven! I am so proud of my little guys. There may be some issues with their development, but as their mom I can tell as they grow, they are going to grace this world with their beautiful personalities and I'm so proud to call them "my sons". I love you, my little monkeys!!

Say hello to my little (new) friend, the treadmill...

Hello...So some time ago I was watching John and Kate plus 8 and heard Kate use the phrase "butt in the front" about her stomach. Now, I do not have 8 children but I can relate to the butt in the front comment. So instead of sitting on my butt I have been going to the gym in our community here and working out like crazy. The first night I was only able to do 1 mile (power walk) and could only do a half hour on the treadmill. Tonight on the other hand I was on it for an hour and did 3 miles and burned over 300 calories. I don't really worry about the calories because for me that's like 2 cookies. And I love cookies. If you saw my butt you'd know that. Anyway, onto the butt in the front, I know its not going to go away completely but I have to tell you I feel so much better after I do work out. What a great tension buster!
The boys are doing great, they are getting astronomically big and smarter everyday. Being two, they love to push my buttons but overall they are great kids. Next weekend we are going to Tampa to visit my uncle and cousins for the weekend then we are going to meet up with Keith's brother Scott and his wife Megan for dinner or something in Ft. Lauderdale (they are down from PA). It will be great to see everyone. So, I'll be sure to add some pictures as soon as we get back. Talk to you then!

This movie is hysterical!

My friend Jennifer and I went to see The Women last night and it was Fantastic. If you get a chance go see it, I enjoyed every minute!

Last week was a blast...

Sorry I haven't been on to update you on our family life. Last week was a huge amount of fun. My Grandfather (my dad's father) turned 80! We had a big party on Sunday for him and another lunch on Tuesday. What also made the week special was the fact that my brother and his girlfriend Sara was here to celebrate. They stayed the whole week and we had a ball. We did a little shopping, my brother and Keith went fishing and Sara and I took the boys to the beach before Hurricane Ike made it into the Gulf. Deep down, I really feel that as I wish my family lived closer, its also great to be able to spend the quality time we can.

Happy Birthday, Pop...

Ike, Ike, Go Away, Come again....NEVER!

This looks like one scary storm...and it looks like its headed right for us. Everyone who doesn't live in Florida please pray for us and for those of you who read this and do live here, I'll pray for you!
