Baby No. 3...

We have been blessed with news that we are going to be expanding our family.  Our entire family is so excited.  Our son Miles' response was "are you teasing me?" he couldn't be more delighted.  Sienna just walks around saying baby, baby. My husband has been great through all of the first trimester issues that come up. He has been a huge help and just loves being a daddy.  I love him more and more each day seeing his expression after he has been at work all day. Thank you Ali!!!  I swear if women new the feeling before getting pregnant we just wouldn't do that all over again.  There must be a reason we women forget the highs and lows of pregnancy.  It can get rough when you don't have immediate family to help you out. We have been lucky with grandma Rita who has been coming up to save us from time to time. I have finally entered my second trimester and am starting to feel the glow. However, I am still not looking the part, although, I am doing my best to embrace this new chubby body of mine.  I just spent so much time at the gym getting back into shape after having Sienna somedays it scares me will I really get back to a size 4-6. Really? Well at least for now I can just gaze and daydream that a new little member will be joining us come May.  So exciting.  This week at my doctor appointment we may even find out what we are having.  Oh the waiting...that has to be the hardest part.  We are over the moon and so are the kids! So excited to see you baby on Thursday.

Apple Picking in Westchester...

Fall is my favorite time of year or maybe it is because I just love to go apple picking with my family.  This year we got to go three times, twice in Boston and once with Grandma Rita and Aunt Susie.  We had so much fun and chose the perfect day to go.  I only say perfect because we were able to go without the rush of so many people and we still found amazing apples.  The kids had a blast.  I love seeing them pick them apples.  The treat is once you arrive, you post up for some fresh baked donuts, powered suger and cinnamon along with some hot apple cider.  This place even had some animals and the kids got to take pictures by the pumpkin patch and on a tractor too.  More pictures and the challenge was to get all three kids to look at the camera at once....almost got it. xoxo

a little late..Halloween 2010

I can't seem to catch up these days.  My trouble is technology it never fails anytime I get jazzed about making an album for a family member, want to make a post, print pictures, or just email someone some updates my PC or my MAC fails on me.  I get so frustrated that all I have been doing is taking pictures because I don't want to miss these years with my two cute babies.  So I bit the bullet and said I better post Halloween before New Years is upon me. Miles dressed up as top gun F16 air-force pilot and Sienna was a kitty kat.  Mommy joined in on the fun and dressed as Sienna.  Our Halloween 2010 in Boston was filled with so many parties 4 to be exact!  We had one at Sienna's music class Family Music Makers which she was joined with her best friend Blake Baird and her brother Loch while Miles was in school that day. Then our next party was with Kingsley Montessori, Miles and his classmates had a pumpkin decorating party. We are members of the U Club of Boston and went to their Halloween party and finally we had true Halloween on October 31st. Our Halloween day consisted of meeting up with dear friends at the Clarendon Street playground for pizza, candy and a magic show.  After that event to ventured to Beacon Hill Halloween which is amazing every year. All the streets are closed for the little ghosts and goblins to run from house to house to collect their treats.  We love Halloween in Boston and so enjoy our outings with the kids.  Miles would go to the houses and instead of saying trick or treat he would say "I feel the need for speed" from the top gun movie so we got many chuckles from all the neighbors.  Sienna was a fiesty little cat by the end of the evening from all the sugar she ate.  We came home around 8:30 pm and then counted all their candy.  For two little rascals they made out BIG TIME!!!! even in such cold temps the weather went down to the 30's that night burrrr..... Happy Halloweeen.

I Love taking photos...

I just wish I had more time to really learn this skill.  Taking photos has always been a passion of mine and now that I have a new Nikon D90 I am even more into photography.  My goal is to take a class in the next two years and really learn to master this craft.  I always have been the one in my family to take the pictures especially of the children.   When I am with my mom and sister, we always have one goal in common get a picture, a good picture, of Miles, Marisa and Sienna so we can blow it up and give it to grandma.  My sister came to Boston this past summer with cousin Marisa and I decided we go all out.  So we did, we got the kids breakfast, dressed the girls in the same linen white dresses and Miles in white linen pants with a cotton camisa.  Once we packed our bag of tricks and treat we were off the Espalnade, Charles River.  We tried our best to keep all of them happy and we were pretty happy with some of the pictures we got.  Hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

Relaxing weekend....

Today the family and I did a lot of organizing.  We are trying to get ready for another fun filled week.  This week is going to be especially fun because it is the week before Halloween.  Miles is going to be an F16 Top Gun Airforce Pilot and Sienna a sweet kitty cat.  I can't wait to upload the photos they are going to be too cute for words!  Both of them are currently asleep at the moment and already I am excited for them to wake up.  Funny how sometimes you can't wait for them to get to their naps but once the house is quiet you miss those little voices.  Daddy did the grocery shopping and I organized the house.  All we have left to do is give those munchkins baths and a yummy dinner and off to bed we go.  The weather started to get cold like really cold and all I thought of was how much fun we had this past summer in Cape Cod.  So much so that I had to include a photo from our awesome summer ahhh don't you just miss summer.  Happy Sunday!
