Saturday Morning

Joseph said I hadn't sent him any pics lately so I took one of each of us this morning so he doesn't forget what we look like, LOL. So here they are...

Dance Recital Dress Rehearsal

Tomorrow's the big day but tonight the girls had their dress rehearsal at Archbishop Wood HS. They had a lot of fun getting all dolled up. Katie especially liked the make-up Aunt Sandy put on her!

(and she's much cheaper than the package I got sucked into!)

Good Morning!

This morning I let Ryan wake Katie up. I laid him down on the pillow next to her and he started babbling right away. Katie cocked open one eye to see what was going on and then as soon as she saw Ryan laying with her she got so excited! He looked like he was enjoying their QT also. At least they were happy... It was my first day back to work so I was less than thrilled!

Ryan looks like "Excuse me Mom, why are you bothering us???"

Happy to be hanging out with Katie

Ryan's First Day at Day Care

Of course I forgot to take a picture but he had a great day. :-) I was much more upset about it than he was, that's for sure!

Aunt Karen's Baby Shower

Mom and I threw Karen a baby shower at Jenine's house today. Everyone was so generous and Karen and Chris got tons of great stuff for Kyra! Now we just need Kyra, lol. Only a few more weeks! :-)

I don't have any pics though because I was the 'gift recorder'. So now I'm shamelessly stealing pics from Sandy!

Uncle Chris' Birthday Party

Karen and Chris had a tailgating party at FDR park before the Phillies game to celebrate Chris' 30th birthday. We all went to the party but I decided not to torture myself by taking Ryan so Aunt Karen took Katie with her and then Katie had her first sleepover at Maddie's. She was so excited but I don't know if the excitement was more for Maddie or Tom and Reese (their cats), LOL.

I shamelessly stole these pics from Karen!

Enjoying the beautiful weather and good company

Ryan chillin' out in the park

Rudy and Miles

Fake blowing out the candles because they wouldn't stay lit in the wind

Katie and Uncle Chris

The future's so bright... I gotta wear shades!
(And check out that big cheesy grin!)

Happy 60th Birthday TiTi!

We celebrated TiTi's 60th birthday tonight at Hibachi. As usual, the food was delish! :-) And the company wasn't half bad either, lol.

Happy 60th TiTi!

Showing off her blue ice cream cake tongue!

A smile so big it looks like it hurts! :)

Someday...

Someday I'll have time to update the blog again! With the kitchen project going on and staying at my mom's, it's been pretty crazy around here lately. I have lots of great pics to post though so stay tuned! :-)

Our "Nanny"

Maddie aka our nanny, lol, hanging out with Katie and Ryan and keeping them entertained! :-)

Seriously now, who is that happy to change a diaper???

Maddie's Spring Recital

Katie, Mom-Mom, and I headed down to Delaware tonight to check out Maddie singing and playing the clarinet in her spring recital. We got lost and wound up somewhere deep inside of Wilmington - not good! LOL But we finally found it and had only missed the first song or two. Maddie did a great job!

Maddie's in the top row in the middle
