Birthday Boy

Father & Son

Since we made a big deal of his frist day of school, Nicholas has been asking us to take his photo each day he goes to school.  Here are the carpool buddies.  Andy drops him at school on his way to work.  Love:)

Here are a couple photos from Nicholas' first day of school.

And here is a photo from his frist day last year.  They grow so fast!!

Blogging Again

Clearly I cannot keep up with blogging on a regular basis, so I'm not even going to attempt to catch-up from the last post. We're starting fresh, and I'm aiming to do a monthly update. I'm convinced that having babies 18 months apart gives you short term memory loss. So here goes... We are finally coming up for air after our move out to Leesburg, Va. The kids are doing great. They finally like playing together and Sienna can hold her own when Nicholas starts wrestling with her. Her winning move is usually getting a handful of his hair, at which point we break it up. Nicholas is talking more and more and we are in the middle of potty training. Sienna is determined to keep up with everything Nicholas does. She runs after him when we're out on walks shouting "Nik-LAS" and she now says "Sienna Nice", which she picked up from me telling her to be nice. She's a handful, and her hair...well, I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

Baby No More

Sienna is officially a toddler, here she is chasing after Nicholas on a walk.  She also crashed his classmate's birthday party this weekend...video to follow. 

Here is Nicholas feeding the birds at the petting zoo.

Easter

Sienna is 1!

It was a Christmas to Remember!

Let's just say Nana and Pop's should think about opening a B&B.  They really know how to prepare a feast, entertain an army (day after day), and make it look effortless!

Although, Patrick and Nicholas can entertain themselves in 40 degree temps with a puddle.

Why in the world didn't Santa's elves put this thing together and just leave it under the tree?!

Partners in crime, and loving every minute of it.

Sienna and her cousins

Nicholas was too busy running around outside, but I did manage to get a couple of Sienna and her cousins.

Falling leaves are fun:)

Baby Girl is on the move!

It looks a little like swimming out of water, but she does get around.

8 months old

My sweet Sienna is 8 months old already.  She is on all fours and rocking these days, so she'll be on the move soon....which is scary.  I like putting her down on the floor knowing that she can't go too far.  She wants whatever Nicholas has, so he'll be in for a treat when she starts getting from point A to point B by herself.

Happy Halloween

We had a special visitor tonight...Aunt Bridget went into the bathroom in her work clothes and The Scarlet Spritzer returned!!  Thankfully she was also a track star because keeping up with Superman in the dark requires speed and cat-like reflexes.
