A little luck for the "Non-Irish" girl

Juliette had a super special St. Patrick's day as she got to participate in the parade with my Mom for St Claire's Church on the island. The parade was down King Street and she even got to take the day off of school. She met a few little friends who she got to throw candy for.

Three months old

Hard to believe that the babies are three months old! We are so happy to see the warmer weather and cold/flu season on the way out the door. I am now feeling like the babies can actually venture out of the house a little.

With that they keep getting cuter and cuter. We have had some of the first smiles

in the last week...

Tyler

Thomas

They have begun to coo as well. Thomas is feeling so much better on his new formula and his colic is really improving. Feeding is now not a dreaded act. Yesterday I felt like we were really turning a corner and things real feel like they are getting easier and we are on a nice routine. This is of course right as I go back to work.

Thomas is on the left and Tyler is on the right in all of these pictures, 

His big brother loves him so much. He wanted to hold him after swimming….

Until I had to remind him "we no pick a pig…"

Yikes! My 20th high school reunion!

I was not sure how it would be or if it had been so long having seen some of the folks that I could not even really know what to say… Let's just say that was not the case AT ALL! Matter of fact this one was much more fun than our 10th reunion. We visited with everyone and did some dancing and just had a ball seeing all the old school peeps!

Bishop England class of 95… until next time class… take care!

"Mommy I can do it myself…"

Yes, this is what she tries to tell me everyday. She walked out of my bathroom today and this is how I found her. Not bad I thought for a six year old giving herself "pig tail braids"

She now loves to get in my makeup and tries to put anything and everything on… She could spend hours looking at herself in the mirror. The other day when my Dad picked her up and took her to the bus, she jumped in the front seat of his car, pulled down the mirror and redid her hair. Apparently she did not like the pig tails that I did for her. Dad noticed as she got out of the car, she had some disastrous braid that was sticking out to the side of her head. She was so proud of it and happily jumped out of the car and ran to the bus.

Why I can't leave him out of my sight for a minute

I noticed the lovely tranquility and quiet feeling in the house. It did not dawn on me to wonder why it was quiet - only how nice it was at the moment. When the quietness continued, I was concerned and began to take a look in my room to see what was going on…

Yup! He watched me put the eye liner on so that dickens went and found it in my make up case and tried to put it all over his eye…

I liked to think that he was trying to look like a pirate but unfortunately he just responded…. "I look like Mommy now…"

Working on some tummy time...

Thomas was working hard on stretching that head and neck… 

All was nice and peaceful until….

This piece of work decides to intercede! Even the baby lowers his head back down at the sight of that loud monkey! Dressed in his finest "birthday doggie Camisa" and his "jammie pantalones" with his Sister's kitten hat with a bow on it 

(luckily on backwards)
