Emily's First Dance!

Emily attended a dance at Stone's school this past Friday. The two of them were both so excited that they started dancing in our kitchen. Gloria Estefan said it best...."Sooner or later the rhythem is going to get you." Oh, the rhythem definitely got these two.

Last Post for a While...

Sadly my camera is broken so I will be unable to send pictures or videos of the girls for a while.
I will try to keep you updated of what is going on up here in good old New Hampshire.
Hopefully I can get it fixed quickly. Cross your fingers.

The Driscoll's

While we were in CT this last visit we were lucky enough to see our friends, Dave, Keelie and baby Delaney in Mystic. Delaney was born this August just a few days before Em's 3rd birthday. We brought a picnic lunch to a local park and played with our girls. Needless to say this is not our usual day with the Driscoll's when we visit. :) We loved every minute of it!!


Dave teaching Emily how to play soccer. Watch it Dave, that's my job!

The Driscoll Family

Abigail and Delaney had enough!


Em caught a second wind thanks to her ice cream cone. Can you guess what flavor she had?

Contemplating life.

Thanks for a great day guys!! We miss you already!!

Our Latest Visit to CT

Now that Abigail is doing much better in the car, Todd and I decided to take the girls on a little trip down to CT. We were lucky enough to see Sean play football against Bloomfield. Right as we arrived, we saw Newington score a touchdown and Sean was a key factor in that play. Pretty cool!
On Friday, we, by that I mean Erin and I, decided to take the kids to Lyman Orchards for a go at the corn maze and some cider donuts. By the way, the maze took us about 45 minutes to get through. Not a small corn maze!

ReRe and Emily pausing for a quick picture.

James and his mommy. (He wasn't really in the picture mood that day)

Nice smile guys!

We ended the day with a trip to the park. I am surprised the kids made it to the football game that night. (Only smile we got out of James that day!) :)

Abigail and Grandma. Can you tell by the smile on her face that she is up way past her bedtime and she knows it?

It was great to see everyone! Sorry we couln't stay longer.

Emily and Abigail

Just some pictures of the girls in the backyard.











Johnny Jumper..The Best Invention Ever Made!!!

Warning: May Cause Motion Sickness.
This by far is Abigail's favorite past time. She can stay in this thing for hours, not that we've tried but you get the idea. My biggest fear is that she is going to get some serious air one day and she is going to go flying across the room. So far, so good!

Walk in the woods

Sunday was a gorgeous day so we decided to take the girls for a little walk in the woods behind our house. Emily gets very excited about these "hikes". She takes the first few minutes finding the perfect walking stick then she is off to the races.

T and the girls.

Yes, that is a beret on Abigail. It went with the outfit!

Hayride

A couple of weeks ago the girls and I, along with Kris and Clark, went on a hayride at a local market called Beans and Greens. We took a tractor ride to a corn maze, then the kids were allowed to pick out a pumpkin.

On our way over to the corn maze. Searching for the perfect pumpkin.The kids were invited to feed the animals. They have a couple of goats, a cow and a pig, Wilbur, who can do tricks. The kids were very impressed, as well as some of the moms.Clark just starting out in the hay maze. How cute is he!!!Emily not as enthused as Clark.
