Fenway!




We just picked up my sister at the airport. She's down here for the weekend! She sent these Fenway pics from a tour that she took yesterday. We'll be up there on the 23rd!!!




Here's a pic of Dad and Alyssa at a recent game...

Massachusetts bound



Hopefully we will be up there in a couple of weeks. Thinking about putting this scene in quilt form. More on that later.

More on Lily's first words

Her vocabulary is outstanding. If she hears a plane or something similar to a plane, she will point up to the sky and say "airpwane." The other night we were driving back from dinner in Charles Town (our table over looked the track, wicked cool) it was dark and Lily kept saying "airpwane!" airpwane!" Sure enough, I look out the window of the car and I see some blinking lights from an airplane. Crazy.

If she sees something shiny it's "Ew, preddy!"

Last week we were at BJ's and I was talking to Bob when I suddenly realize that Lily is repeating the same fews words over and over again. "Happy Birday to ew" She was singing Happy Birthday. I called my mother immediately and she confirmed it. We have a witness.

She will say, "I twicked you!" at certain moments. It's so cute.

She knows, dog, cat and she learned my neice's name, Katie today. We had to pick up "Kadie?" (she says it as a question) at Sports camp today. I'm on Joey duty this week and next. And Joey and Katie duty this weekend. Busy, busy...

She also thinks it's funny when she refers to her daddy as "Bob." When she is looking for attention on long car rides, she will scream, "Bob" from the back and start cracking up. It's hilarious.

Her tantrums are cute too. When I say no to her, she screams, "No, no, no!" and starts throwing things. Not good, but funny. She gets stressed out really easily too. Like if she can't move soemthing, she'll start to spaz. I swear it was because I was under tremendous stress when I was pregnant with her. Seriously, the baby absorbs the chemicals that are released when you react to stimuli. So all my stress hormones, she absorbed them all and now she gets stressed out. I had to put her in a time out tonight to cool off. All of 5 seconds of it and then she comes running to me and puts her arms around me and gives me a kiss. She loves to give hugs.

I have more but it's nigh nigh time. All Star game is over. Way to go AL, and Rescue Me was intense as usual, and I'm tired from the day and have to do it all over tomorrow. After we drop of Katie at camp, Joey, Lily and I are going to the 10 am movie in Kingstowne! I can't remember the last time that I went to the movies! Even if it is clay animation!

Nigh nigh!

Here's the cake!


Everything went well and everyone thought it looked and best of all, tasted great! My husband and I got to the restaurant earlier to put assemble the tiers and had about 45 extra minutes. So we went to a couple of stores and found the cake stand. It was perfect.
