Missing in Action!

So it's been a LONG while since I have last updated and so much has happened. Chris' parents came to visit for a week which means lots of G and G time, a visit to NYC, projects around the house, and much much more. I will post pictures and details as soon as I arrive home to my computer!

The boys and I left last Friday to visit my parents in North Carolina. Again, lots of G and G time, hiking, playing, and enjoying the beautiful weather. More pictures and details to come soon once I arrive back home to download many, many pictures! I have been living off our iPad so I have limited pictures on here!

While I have been gone, Chris and his brother worked like mad to get our house cleared out so the floors could be refinished. We had to move all our furniture to the basement, garage, or attic which also means taking apart beds, moving knick-knacks, area rugs, and much more. The flooring company came Monday and sanded down all our wood floors, filled cracks, and put down a lovely, lovely stain. If you had seen some of our floors before, especially the much damaged kitchen floor or the upstairs, you would think a miracle happened! They finished up Wednesday and Chris sent me these photos. Here's our dining room, living room, kitchen, and master bedroom floors. Aren't they beautiful???

The boys and I are staying through Sunday morning so we can get as much family time we can before celebrating Halloween back at home and eagerly seeing Chris again!!!!

Watch for many updated to happen as I have many many pictures to share:)

Look who's walking all over this house!

Happy 10 Months Andrew!

I think I better get this video posted before 11 months comes around:) All I can say is that this little rascal keeps me on my toes all day long, but I love love love him so much!!!

Sesame Place (Continued)...

Continuing from the last post, here are some more pictures!

Getting ready for the lift-off ride. Doesn't Aiden look so small?!?!?!

Going straight up in the air! Aiden LOVED this ride-I did too:)

Getting ready for the hot air balloon ride.

The whole time Aiden was up in the air on the balloon, he kept pointing at this big bouncy mat (called Big Bird's Bed) and saying that he wanted to do this. He LOVED it! You just jump around and fall down over and over and over:) I want a room in our house that is like this!

Going trick or treating around the park:) For the month of October, Sesame Place is Halloween themed and they have these stations all around the park where they give you treats!

Getting ready for the parade! This is my life all day and night long-I love these two:)

Driving the Sesame Street forklift...every boys' dream!

Our family:)

All ready for the carousel!

Jack and Aiden taking their last ride before we head home...

We had a wonderful day full of rides, shows, treats, parades, and much more! We finished our day with a quick dinner at Chik-Fil-A before we said good-bye to Jack and Jill. I guess all the fun and games wore Aiden out because he fell asleep towards the end of our car ride and both boys went straight to bed!!!!

In other news, we have had a few crazy weeks around here. Andrew has been sick going on two weeks now, which means we have been to the doctor twice and trying to keep this boy as healthy as possible. We are hoping we are in the upswing, but keeping our fingers crossed!!!

Sesame Place...

Last weekend, we took a very special trip to Sesame Place, the amusement park! Jill and I have been planning to go to an amusement park with the kiddos all summer:) We finally found time in September where we both could make it and what do you know, but the hurricane hit! So the first weekend that we could both do it was finally in October---and just happened to land on my birthday! So I spent my birthday like a true 3 year old-at crazy fun Sesame Place!

In all honesty, we had a blast as a family and with Jill and Jack. The park is only an hour from our house and I know we will be making several trips next year:)

Here's some pictures to show our fabulous Saturday. The boys and Jack all ready to go to Sesame Park:

Catching our first show, Count's Halloween. Can you tell that both Daddy and Aiden are amazed?
My happy baby, Andrew!
Taking in the show...
So excited about watching these characters live...
All these characters on one stage, so exciting for our little ones...
All this fun wore Andrew out...
Count and Aiden...
Getting ready to take their first ride, the flying fish...
On the roller coaster! Chris and Aiden are on the left (Do you see Chris' arms up in the air?!?!) and Jill and Jack are in the middle (Jill is wearing pink!). The boys loved this ride...

More pictures to come...

Wild Boys...

Jill, Sorry that we turned Jack into a wild child after spending a few days here:)

A Day with Jack...

Last week, we were lucky to have a visit from my sister, Jill, and my nephew, Jack, for several days. They drove up here on a Wednesday night and stayed all the way through Saturday evening!!!!!!!

Jill went to work on Thursday in New Jersey, so we got to spend the entire day with ANOTHER boy in this house:) We ate lots of yummy food...

Created some play dough art...

Watched some Mickey Mouse...

Did some puzzles...

Watched the rain pour and pour...

Did some more puzzles...

And we also enjoyed a trip to the park and lots of playtime around the house! Aiden loved having Jack around:)

Happy Monday!
