Two wheeling!

Last weekend we took Will to the park to practice without training wheels on his bike.  He got the hang of it right away and now buzzes up and down the street without any help at all.  He is crazy excited... Love this little man.  He also has two loose teeth.  Growing up so fast.

Future Olympian!

Ella has been taking skating lessons for about 18 months now and she loves every minute of it.  We are very proud of her enthusiasm, listening skills and perseverance.  And, she's pretty good, to boot!  She has progressed very quickly through the levels so far.  Best of all, she has so much fun when she's out there!  Here is a video of class last week while she was practicing her forward crossovers.  She is wearing a pink helmet and pink fleece (of course!). 

Living Treasures!

We always have the best time at Living Treasures Animal Park.  We took a trip on one of our first warm days.  Thank goodness spring has finally sprung around here!

Easter 2013

We had a wonderful Easter in CT this year.  Here are some pictures of our busy long weekend! 
Coloring Easter eggs!

Planting the magic jelly beans that the Easter Bunny dropped off. 

 

I see you eating them, Gabe!

You can't fool me!

 Digging with Abby.

The Easter Bunny came! They each got a game, a book, puzzles, new toothbrush, toothpaste and goldfish crackers, and a reeses peanut butter egg!

Seeing what the magic jellybeans grew into- marshmallow lollipops!

All snazzed up in their Easter finest for church!

When Will saw that I got Gabe a hat he wanted one, too!

Hunting for eggs in the yard after Mass.

He's such a goofball.

Nice hair!

I love how Gabe is looking at Will...
