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.

The baby was on the move and Mimi was trying to feel her kick

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. =(

Learning New Skills

While Danny learns the fine art of feeding himself ....

Natalie perfects her lipstick application.

And both kids enjoy laundry day.

I'd say they are all useful life skills.

Team Pink

Another baby girl is coming this summer! Liz and Ray will welcome their baby girl in August.

Congratulations!
