M.I.C.... See you real soon....

We're back! We went with our friends Heather, Mike and Garrett on an amazing vacation to Walt Disney World. We saw Princess' galore, Mickey, Minnie and the rest of the gang.

As you know, I'm crazy about taking pictures, and on this particular trip I took over 600. In my defense, we were there 6 days so really it's only 100 pictures per day. And with 2 five year olds, in the most magical place on earth, taking a lot of pictures is easy to do. Here's the reader's digest:

We spent 3 days at Magic Kingdom. We met almost all of the characters and ate dinner at the restaurant from Lady and the Tramp. Natalie got her hair and make-up done at the Bippity Boppity Boutique and we then had breakfast with the princesses in the Royal Castle. We went on a safari at Animal Kingdom, visited countries from around the world in Epcot and saw "behind-the scenes" at Hollywood Studios. We spent lazy afternoons at the pool and went shopping at Downtown Disney. We even had an adults night! To put it lightly -- I'm tired!

Here are just a few pictures and then the link to the rest of the album is here for those of you brave enough to look.

p.s. For those of you those noticed the youngest member of our family is missing - he was on a vacation of his own. He spent the week with Mimi and Papa. A BIG thank-you to them for taking great care of him while we were gone.

Cast of next season's Jersey Shore

Just kidding. Willow, Jenn and I spent the day in NJ at Kristin's house with the kids (minus Matthew). Kristin is just days away from welcoming their second baby. We spent the day playing, talking and just goofing around.

Not your typical group shot. But then again, we're not your typical group.


Just the bigs.

Lots of playtime

Avery is such a cutie.

Thanks to Kristin for having us and Willow for driving us. Good luck Smyth family. We will be thinking of you next week and can't wait to meet the newest addition to our family.

NINE months?!

Danny is 9 months old.

We just got home from his checkup and he got a clean bill of health. He weighs 20 lbs and is 29 inches long. He now has 4 teeth and does a bit of an army crawl, but his main mode of transportation is still rolling.

Happy Mother's Day!

It's easy to enjoy Mother's Day with cute kids like these. But I'm not biased at all. An outtake from us trying to get our photo taken:

Not perfect, but the best one in the bunch.

Then we headed over to Aunt Liz and Uncle Ray's to spend the afternoon with them.

Natalie and Ripken were part of the Neighborhood Watch Program.

Thanks for lunch Aunt Liz and Uncle Ray.

Happy Mother's Day!

A little of this. A little of that.

What a nice weekend!
We started our day with a dance party. One of Natalie's favorite things to do is play music videos on the computer and dance along. She was really getting into it this morning.

This is the face we see every day when we go in to get Danny from a nap. He's such a happy baby.

After all that dancing, we had worked up an appetite so we headed down to the local Ice Cream shop. Bonkey's is officially open for the summer. Woohoo!

Then we came back and did some texting ...

And bubble blowing...

And now everyone is in bed ready for another Monday. =(
