Catching Up...and Boston!

Ok, here's a few pictures to catch up on the last few weeks.

Thomas, Nicholas and their mommy were nice enough to have us over for an alphabet play date a couple of weeks ago. Ryan chose R and he was Red Ryan and Luke chose C and was just Cute in his Castle shirt.

We put new carpet in our bedroom, this is Ryan the Builder helping daddy

Ryan has started Soccer Tots for the 3rd time. Only this time he gets to play with all of his friends, so it's more fun!

On Monday, we got out to enjoy the weather at the zoo with Landon & his mommy.

And Boston! Dave surprised me when he called me up from work last week and told me to pack my bags because we were going to Boston! He had to go on a business trip and the boys and I got to go along. Dave was stuck working most of the time, but the boys and I had a blast visiting friends and family. Sorry I didn't get pictures of everyone!

Lucas got to meet his great-gram and Uncle Walter for the first time while it didn't take Ryan long to pick right up where he left off.

Along with family, I also have some pretty amazing friends in MA. I'm kicking myself for not taking pictures, but the boys and I had a blast visiting with Jamie & Leo, Jaimie & Maureen. And we missed you, Tammie!

Before heading to the airport to come back home, Dave and I couldn't decide if we wanted to take the boys to the Museum of Science or the Children's Museum. So, finally we decided to enjoy the mild temperatures and check out Boston Common.

One of my absolute favorite books to read to Ryan is Make Way for Ducklings, so we were both excited to get to visit with the ducklings from the book

And then we headed to Faneuil Hall for lunch where Ryan also got a balloon sword and belt.

Thank you everyone for making our visit so wonderful! We are all already looking forward to our next trip "home"!

Alright! Alright!

So, I've gotten your phone calls and complaints about the blog hiatus! To be perfectly honest, I just haven't had the time.
February just flew by! We stayed very busy, just the way I like it. I got to go on a little trip to Boston to be with my dad for his surgery and spend some much needed quality time with my friends. And Dave got to spend some much needed quality time with the boys. He and Lucas really bonded and the three of them had a great time.
We also attended several birthday parties. I'm usually much better with pictures, but Ryan and Lucas would like to send great big Happy Birthday wishes to Olivia, Halle, Marley, Cooper & Caleb!
And, of course, Ryan has school two times a week. Which is turning out to be a great thing for all of us. Ryan loves it, and Lucas gets three hours of quality mommy time without Ryan repeating "put Lucas down and play with me" the whole time.
We're looking forward to March. Ryan is going to start Soccertots again and Lucas is just on the verge of learning to crawl. Plus, their Papa is coming down from Boston next week and the boys are very excited to see him. It's always something around here-and I promise to get some pictures up soon.
