My little Elliott is eight months old!!!

Fresh, steamed and peeled!!! Ready to be pureed into food for Elliott!!!

Clean, soft and drying on the porch!!! Ready to cover sweet Elli Belly's hiney!!!

Thank you to my wonderful husband for working so hard so I can stay home with our babies.  I don't think I would have the time or patience to make baby food or deal with cloth diapers if I had to work outside of the house.  I love you more each day!!!

This is what a toddler who had a very busy, fun filled weekend looks like!!!

Two and half years later...we still L-O-V-E our ergobaby!!!

YUP...The newest addition to our family...a(used) minivan!!! I know a lot of people resist becoming a minivan family, not me. I love having a van, groceries, kids, double stroller and there is still room for roadside finds ;-) I could not validate the purchase with only one child, even two kiddos could squeeze into my Saturn. Come September I will be babysitting and my charge will need to be driven to preschool three days a week, so a minivan it is!

My front porch flower pots...round two. At the start of summer I planted these pots and they looked lovely. Several weeks of travel with the boys, leaving my darling husband in charge of water them...they needed to be replanted. Some clearance plants and a few minutes of my time and they are lovely once more.

Elliott turned 7 months July 30th and I never posted a picture to commemorate the occasion...so here are a few belated 7 months pictures...Bonus Isaac pictures, whoby the way is, "2 1/2 and almost tall enough to so space mountain!" He pretty much will tell anyone who will listen ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POGGIE!!!

Thank you for making my children laugh out loud!!!
WE LOVE YOU

Hoffmans Playland

My kids have been to Walt Disney World on more than one occasion. Isaac loves it and Elliott is still too young to care. As much fun as Isaac had at Disney this summer, he had just as much fun at Hoffmans Playland.

Isaac and Lila...

Isaac and Lila are cousins, 9ish months apart in age. They live miles/states apart. Sometimes, they seem more like brother and sister then cousins or friends. BUT...after I watch them together, all I can think about is when is the next time they will get to be together again. It is very important for our family that I stay home with our babies and in order to do so we have "tightened our boot straps" in a lot of places. One thing we can not cut back on is travel. These kids need to be together. It is pretty amazing, we live in New York and Lila in Florida yet they seem to get to see each every few months. With Lila having a new brother soon and I am babysit this school year, Isaac is going to have Lila withdraw for a while :-( WE MISS YOU ALREADY LILA!!!
