Week 92 and Week 205

William is 92 weeks old. I learned this weekend that he really is changing everyday. I went away for the weekend to spend some girl time with Erin and I feel like he grew up so much while I was away! My little boy is growing up!! 21 months old, how did that happen??

Emily is 205 weeks old and we are in birthday party planning mode!! I can't believe she is going to be FOUR! She loves everything and is having lots of fun during her last month of being a 3 year old!!

I missed my kiddos and husband this weekend, but it was really nice to get away and have some fun with the girls! Thanks for convincing me to go Mike, Jen, and Anslie!! I'll post pics from the weekend in another post.

Here are some pics of our week...

Baking!!! It was so cold, Mommy decided we would do anything to keep warm!!!

(I cheated and did it on Monday when I got home. I had visions of my kids outside playing and catching snowflakes, but for the first time ever Emily did not want to go outside in it!!!)

Week 91 and Week 204!

William is 91 weeks old and Emily is 204 weeks old. We had another busy week, we were doing something everyday except for Wednesday when we had to dig out of the snow and ice! On Monday Emily had her first play date with a friend from school. It went really well and it is so neat to see her start to make her own friendships. She's growing up way too fast!! (as is her brother!!) Friday we played with Connor, Katie, Megan, and Cristin too! Emily and Connor play so well together and the little ones are getting there too!! Saturday Emily played soccer for the first time. Her buddy AC invited her to bring a friend day and she had a blast! It looks like we will be doing soccer next year!! She didn't quite get the rule that you aren't supposed to use your hands, but tried her best to listen and most of all, had fun!! Sunday was football fun at Grammie and Pop Pop's. The kids were entertaining and we did actually get to watch some football!!

Here are some pics of our week....oh and see if you can guess what this weeks theme was for my challenge!!

William likes to eat at the stools now too!

Week 90 and Week 203!

William is 90 weeks old. He is just growing every single day. I know I talk about this a lot, but his speech just keeps improving by the minute! More and more phrases and words all the time. He's started recognizing some colors too. Green is the one he says the most. He is so much fun right now and is still super obsessed with trains!

Emily is 203 weeks old. We finally got into a regular full week of school and dance. We also had a fun ladies night out to do some dress shopping for Aunt Erin's wedding! Emily absolutely loved trying on all of the dresses and checking herself out in the mirror. Aunt Erin better watch out, Emily is preparing to steal the show!!

We finally had a pretty low key weekend!! I had my 31 party on Saturday, so Emily and Daddy went to Jesse's house to play while William was napping. We didn't do much else and had a nice relaxing Sunday watching football! Oh yeah, William is a football freak too. As soon as he sees it on TV he starts yelling "Jets, Jets, Jets!!!" and "Football!" Looks like Pop Pop has his little sports buddy!!

Here are some pics from this week....And oh yeah, not sure if I mentioned it in an earlier post, but I am participating in a Project 52, where I have a different theme each week to take a picture of. This week was laughter, if you couldn't figure it out!!

Emily and her boat, complete with swedish fish for decoration!

Eating at a play date. This boy does not mess around!!!

So much fun!

I wish she weren't facing away from the window, but I love her expression!!

Week 89 and Week 202!

Happy New Year!!! We welcomed 2013 at home with some great friends and fun! Emily stayed up until the ball dropped, but William only made it until about 10. It was a fun night that lead to a very lazy January 1!! Daddy was back to work on the 2nd and we were back to our routine! Emily was back to school and dance this week and believe it or not we booked my baby's fourth birthday party!!! How on earth is she going to be four already??? At least William is not aging and growing up at all...oh wait he's right behind her and can't wait to do everything she does!!!!

We had a very busy but fun weekend. Saturday we went to the Botanical Gardens in NY to see the Holiday Train Show and Thomas!! William had a blast and loved looking at all of the trains. He is definitely my little train boy! Emily had fun too. Then on Sunday we headed down to Gia and Pe Pa's house to celebrate Pe Pa's birthday. I went dress shopping for Erin's wedding (I don't think i mentioned it last week, but Erin and Jamie are engaged!!!! So exciting!!! And they're getting married at the end of March, so it's wedding planning time!!). So while I was out shopping Mike and the kids had time to play. Mike, Tom, and Emily went ice skating for a little while. Emily had fun, but doesn't exactly have it figured out yet. She'll get there though!

Here are some pics of our fun this week...
