The aftermath

12 hours of movers yesterday and we are left with a house full of boxes! Also, our backyard photo :)

Announcement!

We have moved! We settled today on a new home! We are very excited, and as we speak all 4 of us are having a sleepover in our room sans furniture as the movers bring that tomorrow. We love the new home! Pictures to come soon!

Poconos

Hopefully I will get around to posting some better pics from our recent Poconos trip, but just in case I don't here are some photos from my phone. We met my twin cousin Shannon and her amazing and beautiful daughter in the poconos for some fun getaway time! We had a packed trip. We went boating at the lake and AJ and Leah went tubing! They loved it! AJ also became brave and with a lifevest will now swim by himself! We went to Knobles Grove, which is an old fashioned amusement park. We had so much fun! Our trip ended with a drive to Philly for an awesome 4th of July before heading home!

Photos!

Here is a preview to a frame I just ordered of the boys. We had photos done today for Jacobs first birthday and they came out great!

Sleeping dad and son

Look at how cute my boys are (taken one minute ago). I went to work out at 5:30am and just walked in to this:

Little bitty big butt

I love this chunky monkey! And my little boy that thinks he is a daddy too!

Poor Jacob

Again blogging has proven difficult for my busy life! I am just updating with a picture of my sick little Jake. He has a terrible ear infection and cold that has taken my sweet happy boy down for the count. He has had a fever of 103 and is extremely contested and tired all of the time. I feel so bad for him! Here is a picture of him.

First Jiu Jitsu class!

AJ had his first Jiu Jitsu class last night and he did so well! I am so proud of how well he listens! He looked adorable in his little outfit, so cute!

Look who isn't napping!

Trying to pull up instead...oh no...

Daniel's birthday

This past weekend we celebrated Daniel's birthday. It was so fun! Here are some pictures from the celebration:

Swinging!

Jacob loves the swing!

Saturday Morning snuggle time

Enjoy!

Jacob's gifts

Jacob gave mommy two presents for my birthday this past Monday: a new tooth AND he started crawling! Three days later and he is starting to get the hang of it. Videos to come!

Beautiful Bride

Suzanne made a beautiful bride last night! Here is a photo of us two.

Girl power

Look who I get to cuddle! I was able to steal Ciara, Clare's beautiful daughter while she sat at the head table at the wedding we are at :).

Happy St Patricks day!

We have a wedding today but Lenny the Leprechaun came for a visit this morning and left some clues for AJ to find treasures! Happy ST Patricks Day!

I am an Aunt again!

Lauren had the baby! William Haywood Bowen, born TGIF morning at 3:57 pm 8lb 4oz 20in. He is beautiful! Mom and baby are doing well.

Sick Jacob

It is the night (early morning)before one of the biggest days of my career and Jacob has been throwing up all night. Puts things in perspective. I need the sleep but nothing is more important than this little guy (yes no clothes on him..he is hot, keeps throwing up on them, and I am snuggling with him):

Grocery shopping

Boys in the cart together now!

Early risers

Friday morning John and I awoke very early to the sound of AJ talking. He does that sometimes when he wakes up...will read to himself before coming to get us. I looked at the video monitor to check on Jacob and saw AJ in Jacobs crib talking to him! Dont know how that happened but it was cute!
Here is a picture of our video monitor.
