Girls Weekend in Boston!!



My mom, aunts, cousins & I headed out to Boston for a girls weekend and had a BLAST! I love these ladies so much. Kacy was a great host...showing us around town...we ate great food, saw the sights, went on a 3 hour food tour of Little Italy (glimpse of heaven) and just enjoyed each other's company. Here are some shots from our trip....

The Harbor...
Dinner Friday Night...
The Littlest Bar...3 Hour Tour of Little Italy...."Heaven". Can't tell you how much fun this was. I am now making it a point to go on food tours whenever we travel:-)
Maria's Pastry Shop - authentic Italian Bakery. I could have spent the whole weekend in here. Everything was delicious.
Marzipan from Maria's...she made this on Giada a few month's prior to our visit. Yum!
One of the markets we went to. Everything was so FRESH! This tour really opened my eyes on how good it is to eat fresh!
Laundry in an alley in little Italy. Love it.
Our gracious hosts:-)
Two little Italian ladies who stoped to talk this intensely every 4 steps. They were coming back from the Farmer's Market. I wish I had time to carry on these sorts of conversations with my friends every day. Love her Christmas light sweater!
2 of my favorite aunts!

Squeaky Sue

After 6 days with a sore throat and a gradually fading voice, my voice box decided to call it quits today. I didn't realize until I called my dad up this morning at 8am for some guidance on a utilization calculation for work, opened up my mouth, and....nothing! So...this was a dilemma. Husband out of town. No voice. Two demanding children. Hmmmm. But we made it through today. With some squeaking, a lot whispering, some "mom" grimaces (and smiles too)...we made it through. Ava kept saying..."mom, talk loud" and at times got frustrated, but by the end of the day she was so cute and whispering with me. I explained to her this morning that my voice was sick which was why I had to whisper...and then later in the day she started asking..."voice feel better mom?" She also just thought it was so hilarious when I put her to bed, whispering her prayers, Jesus Loves Me, The B-I-B-L-E and Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer (our nightly bed-side routine for about the p...

Words...

...Can't describe how much I love to hear my little munchkins speak their first words. Kate's been speaking new words every day...sentences (her favorite..."I got you"...followed by a cheeky grin and laugh). It really is one my favorite things about being a mom...watching them learn new things, speak new words, do new things. Not much can compare. Even Ava's 50 billion questions in a row..."Mommy...how does the sun go down?" or "Daddy...how does it rain"...followed by 50 more "why's" and "how's". I don't think I could ever get tired of that! We snapped a quick movie of Kate's speaking her word for Grandpa..."Pee-paw". Yes...she calls him "Pee-paw".

Meeting Baby Colin & Sibling Rivalry & Roosters

Image
The highlight of today..meeting baby Colin...new bundle of joy to our good friend's Jenn & Brian. He is adorable to say the very least and Jenn & Brian are naturals! Of course when you go to a new baby's home you want nothing but to bring a peaceful visit. I don't know what we were thinking bringing our 1 & 2 year old kids (sorry Jenn & Brian!). As soon as we got there, Ava & Kate started full fledge fighting over who got to sit on my lap. After numerous girl screams, hair pulling (mostly by Kate), pushing (mostly by Kate) and knees to my stomach (Ava)...my husband, who was sitting across the couch laughing, finally came to my rescue...for them only to crawl right back to me and start the whole thing all over again. The girls have desperately been vying for my attention lately...much to Doug's comedic relief (and honestly sometimes...to my wits end). I just keep reminding myself that there will most likely come a day when my girls will outwardly wan...
