Getting ready for the Father Daughter Dance at St Anne School

Well, it sure has been a while! Things are busy. Evan and Emma are growing like crazy. They are almost 2 and 6. I can’t believe how fast time flies. We are looking forward to a relaxing summer at Dutch Wonderland (we got season passes for Christmas).  We can’t wait.

Emma is finishing kindergarten on Friday! My baby is almost a first grader. She lost two teeth, the first fell out on Valentine’s day. She was so excited but wasn’t sure why the tooth fairy gave her money instead of prizes. She is certain when she loses her 3rd tooth she will get a prize!

Evan is almost 2 and still a peanut. He is talking like crazy. He repeats everything we say–yes we are watching what we say! His favorite thing to say is “Love you more”. He is too much!

School is just about over and we can’t wait for summer to begin. Check out some of the recent pictures.

Life has been Busy!!! Emma has been in Kindergarten for the past 4 months and LOVES it. Everyday she claims that she is already 6. Emma had her first sleep over on New Year’s Eve with Corbin! She went to bed late (10:30) but had so much fun making chocolate chip pancakes with Corbin the next morning!!

Evan is busy talking, talking, talking. He is yelling at the dog to “go ” and “sit”. He tells us no and started saying “love you” and giving kisses!! Too Cute!!!

They are both so much fun!!

I am finally finished with classes and now I am getting ready to begin writing the dreaded dissertation! YIKES!!

Life is busy, but great! Check out the new pictures!!!

We spent the last week at the beach, Wildwood, NJ with Grammy and Pop-Pop, and the Moore family. It was a blast. The kids went to Morey’s Pier and had so much fun on the rides. We walked on the boardwalk and of course, went to the beach. We missed Sea Isle City so much that on the last day, we drove up the coast to visit good old Sea Isle and had ice cream at Yum Yums!! We can’t wait to be in Sea Isle in July!

Upcoming Events:
This week (tomorrow- June 26th) Emma turns 5

July 5th- Evan turns 1!!!

It will be a busy week!

Stay tuned……………………..

This week has been so busy for Emma. On Monday, she had her gymnastics “Show Off”. She showed us all of the work she has been doing on the bars, balance beam and floor. On Thursday, she graduated from Preschool. It was exciting to know she is starting a new chapter, but at the same time, it was very sad. She will miss her friends, especially Alex and Jackson. During the ceremony, Emma performed a play, sang “Don’t Laugh at Me” and sang “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” in Spanish, English and Sign Language. It was so cute. She is done with preschool and very excited. I call her an In Betweener- in between preschool and kindergarten. Stay tuned for Emma’s 5th birthday news and Evan’s 1st Birthday!!! It is going to be a great summer

Time sure flies. This evening we are getting ready to watch Emma graduate from Preschool. She is so excited- don’t worry, we will put pictures on the site this weekend. She is registered for Kindergarten at St Anne’s in Lancaster. She is excited, nervous and sad to leave her friends at F & M. She constantly talks about missing Alex and Jackson. They are both going to different schools. Stay tuned for graduation updates.

Evan is turning 1 in a month. He is crawling, walking while holding on and starting to eat big boy food. He is finally sleeping through the night– HOOOORRRAAAYYY!! Just in time for summer. Evan and Gregory are signed up to take swimming lessons so stay tuned for some cute pics.

Hello everyone! Well, it is now St. Patrick’s Day and Evan got his first tooth! He was cranky on Saturday, Sunday he had a fever and Monday, the tooth popped! We were so excited. He was a little excited too!

We have been enjoying our Kensey Friday Night Pizza’s with Gregory, Matt and Jen. We discovered last week that Gregory and Evan weighed the same amount! Evan is trying to pack on the lbs but Gregory won’t let him pass!!! It has been so fun watch the two of them!

We just registered Emma for Kindergarten at St. Anne’s. She is a little nervous and doesn’t really want to go, but we know that will all change once it starts. She started gymnastics (following in her Aunt Sarah’s footsteps–oh no!!) and she loves it!

Enjoy the latest picture.

On Sunday, the family got together for the Baptism of Gregory Brian. It was fun watching Gregory during the ceremony. Doug and I are honored to be Gregory’s Godparents. We are definitely up for the challenge.  There are some new family pictures- a really cute one of Uncle Brandon “putting Evan to sleep” 

Enjoy!!

Evan just went to the doctor’s for his 6 month check up! He weighed in at 16 lbs exactly. He is in the 25th percentile for his weight and the 40th percentile for his height.  Overall he is OK! He got 4 shots and wasn’t too happy yesterday.  Today he seems to be feeling better but he has a little fever.

Well, Christmas has come and gone and we are into the New Year! We have been very busy with Evan and Emma.  We originally thought it would be easier to update this site, but that isn’t the case.

Evan is now 6 months.  He is rolling over, laughing and loving life.  He is a joy to watch each and every day. It is so fun watching him discover new things. Evan started eating baby food and you can’t get it into his mouth fast enough.

Emma is 4 1/2 and can’t wait to turn 5.  Christmas was a blast.  She was so excited to come downstairs and see what Santa left her. She got everything she asked for and couldn’t be happier.

Family News:
Matt and Jen welcomed Baby Gregory on November 20th.  Emma is so excited to have a baby cousin for the first time. The other day she asked if she could go over to Matt and Jen’s to play with Gregory. 

Life is crazy, but we will try to update this page more often! For now, tootles………….
