Me & My Silly Girls

ByKaren

We spent the weekend at my parents while Steve was traveling and before we left I wanted to leave some cute pictures of the girls on my mother’s camera. They were so silly. The camera settings were off at first so some of them are blurry but they were too cute to not post. Allison was being silly closing her eyes. Holly thinks she’s a model, always striking a pose. Allison isn’t quite sure what to do. She figured it out. lol

Bob and Melissa’s Visit Over Winter Break

ByKaren

Our friends Bob and Melissa have added to their family over the past year.  They welcomed a Foster Daughter into their home that happens to be the same age as Holly and Melissa delivered baby Lauren in June to make them a family of 4! Over the Christmas break they drove up from PA to visit for a few days with us.  This was the second time we met the girls and Holly and Allison were very excited to have Trinity over to play with their toys and have a sleep over. The girls got along great and became fast friends. It snowed while they were visiting so the kids had fun playing in the snow together too.  It was a short but nice visit…

Essex Steam Train

ByKaren

We lived in southern RI/CT for about 12 years.  We’ve been parents for about 8 years and we have driven by the Essex Steam train hundreds of times but we never took the girls on the train until this Spring.  We knew we’d be moving further away and it would make it even more of a distance so we made sure we set aside some time while packing to take them. I’m glad we did – they loved it! It’s not the train to New York, which they really want to take with Mommy some day, but it was still a nice, fun train ride. It reminded me of when I was in 6th grade.  Our end of the year treat was a ride on…

Under the Weather

ByKaren

Allison was feeling under the weather and had a slight fever.  We felt so bad for her.  She didn’t want to go to bed so instead I put her in front of the TV with Eeka and her blanket and told her to relax.  I knew she’d fall asleep – and she did.  She looked so cute sleeping I had to take a picture of her.  I don’t know how she could lay in this position for so long but she did……… guess when you’re small it’s easier. I’m happy to report her fever only lasted a day and then she was fine.

Cowgirl Boots are COOL when you are 7

ByKaren

  Cowgirl boots are cool when you are 7 and 37.  But this 7 year old recently discovered just how cool they are!  Holly received the above pink cowgirl boots a few years ago from a friend – they were a hand me down.  They didn’t fit her and pretty much were pushed to the back of her closet.  One weekend I cleaned our her closet and they resurfaced again and………… she hasn’t taken them off since. This picture was taking on her 7th birthday and the bus driver thought she got these boots for her birthday.  I explained that they were old and had been ‘rediscovered’ after some cleaning. Holly wanted to wear them to school but I said ‘No, your feet will hurt…
