Happy Easter

Long Beach

We got to take a weekend trip out to Long Beach before Easter this year and the weather was beautiful! We had a nice time visiting Aunt Ann and the kids spend a lot of time outside in the fresh ocean air.

Went to the Children's Museum in Garden City with the kids and Aunt Ann and all had a very nice time. We could have stayed a few more hours at the museum to see everything, but the little ones were fading fast. The kids loved the bubble room and the music room the most.

We couldn't get our little dancer out of this room, they had tribal beat music playing and she was just having a grand old time beating on the drums and dancing.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

For the wee bit of Irish in us...

I'd kiss him!

At day's end, we sat down to enjoy the tradition of corned beef and cabbage... yum!

The Face of Winter

Well, it certainly has been a very LONG winter here. We are certainly happy that the kids got to enjoy LOTS of snow, but we are all very ready for pleasant, warm weather to come! Here's a photo collection of the white winter we experienced! I know our niece and nephews will be so happy to actually see all the pictures of snow! Enjoy!

Sabrina was "tolerant" of the cold white stuff, but for a limited time. As soon as the snow seeped into her mittens, she was "all done"!

Mommy's half-attempt at a "bear cave", but Tyler got distracted and ran to play with the neighbor girl, so I seized my efforts short.

Snow... again.

This one is for all the cousins... we continue to get snowfall every week here and it's certainly been a very white winter! We woke up this morning to a few inches and the snow just kept falling and falling... and it won't stop until early morning now! Check out the foot of snow on the birdhouse!

A Baby and Her Doll

This is Sabrina's new baby she got from Aunt Ann for Christmas. "Baby" does not have any other name than "Baby", but Sabrina adores her. She's already hugging and kissing her baby and sits with her in a cradle hold and rocks her and sings... it is so cute!

Merry Christmas!

We wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and blessed New Year!
