I haven't forgotten you....

I'm sorry to my faithful blog followers, but I have been busy building butterfly wings and have not gotten to my blog posts. I hope to get to it sometime soon, but the next couple of nights are looking pretty busy too. Don't worry, the pictures are here, and it will be worth the wait!!!!

Happy 90th Birthday Grandma Rita!

The family surprised my Grandma on Saturday by showing up at her house and then we headed out for a nice dinner to celebrate her 90th birthday. Madeline, Joe, Eddie, Carrie, Mike, Emily, William, myself, Pat, Noreen, Irene, Sean, Eva, Phoebe, and Heron all headed down to Florida to join Uncle Eddie for the celebration! It was so great to surprise Grandma and get to spend time with everyone. Here are some pics (there are way too many to post on here) of the big weekend!!!

Week 77 and Week 190

This week started with Florida prep and then we were on our way on Friday! Both kids did great on the plane and we had a great couple of days spent with family surprising Grandma for her 90th birthday! I'll post a few of our earlier in the week pics here and do a separate post of the Birthday party.

Fun in a basket!

Week 76 and Week 189

William is 76 Weeks Old. He was finally feeling better this week and ready to have some fun. He is in love with Mickey Mouse and even pointed to the TV when it was off and said Me Ma! Normally I would not be so excited that he loves TV, but since we are headed to Disney next week his love for Mickey Mouse should make it a little more fun!! He is also obsessed with playing with the Little Tikes track toy that was Michael's in the 80's. He is definitely my little car and train boy! He picks out his Thomas book at bedtime almost every night. He is also starting to show his preferences. He decided that he wanted to wear his fish bathing suit this week, so he brought it to me and started pulling his pants off saying fish, fish! So you guessed it, he got to wear his fish bathing suit all day! Good thing we were staying home!! I was hoping that was a girl thing, but it's not looking like it!! It's really fun to watch him grow and it seems like he is changing so much from week to week right now. He got to have a fun pumpkin picking date with Daddy, Gia, and Pe Pa since Emily was sick this weekend. I'm sure he had a great time being the center of attention and not having to share the spotlight!!!

Emily is 189 Weeks Old. The week started out great, but went downhill for her when she woke up with a fever on Thursday. She had to miss school on the day the fire truck came. She was disappointed but got over it pretty quickly. She is finally starting to feel better and we got our first taste of strep throat! I'm just glad she's on the mend and should be doing well for our trip! She is getting really excited about going to Florida and yes, she knows we are headed to Disney World also. One of our friends was cleaning out her princess collection so Emily was lucky enough to get a brand new Sleeping Beauty suitcase and doll, so she's ready to go!

Here are some pics of our fun...

Emily went to bed with only her Snuggie Bears and when I checked on her she had all of this set up!

William's new favorite toy!

Week 75 and Week 188

William is 75 weeks old. William says alright and it sounds so cute! It sounds kinda like aww right and he uses this high pitched voice. He uses it appropriately though which is cool! He is always talking about something and narrating what he does, it just takes awhile to figure it out sometimes. He loves to march and say "Mar, mar, mar" as he does it.

Emily is 188 weeks old. We're getting into our routine and it is nice. Except for the fact that Emily has finally decided to sleep most mornings! I will never complain about sleep, but I have actually had to wake her up to get ready for school a couple of times! Yup, my little 6 am girl has given up her nap and sleeps, for now anyway!!

Saturday was Natalie's first birthday party and unfortunately William was sick so only Emily and I went. The bonus for Natalie, I was able to take a bunch of pictures of her special day since I didn't have to worry about chasing William around.

Here are some pics of our fun...
