Summer Fun

The sun has finally come out to play and we are all over it. Zoe has a confirmed obsession with the ice cream truck. We have discovered the best of the three trucks in the neighborhood(Mister Softee of course) and are on a first name basis with the owner, Sonny.

Thank you Grammy Mary!

Don't ask me what happened to Cookie Monster's legs.

That's just how the chalk fell.

Funny story.

Weird guy in the 'hood passes by the yard and says,

"I know you that is, that's the cookie man".

Ok dude, whatever.

Thanks for the great crib Nona.

I sleep like a "baby".

Life is good and this summer is going to be awesome.

Mother's Day

So I decided to treat some moms to brunch at my house. It was actually pretty easy to put together and the timing was almost perfect. I really enjoyed spending the day with the women who support me on my motherly journey. Ew, that sounds like a bad Hallmark card but it's accurate so we'll let it be.

K-Bomb

Well, it was another successful K-Bomb this year. I didn't know what to expect with two babies in a car for over 15 hours each way. It honestly wasn't that bad. At least no one was puking on the ride home. Oh yeah, forget that. Zoe yakked once. She's 2 for 2 on the road trip barfing.

Road trip ready

You guys RELAX... I'll drive.

P.S. Louisville is AWESOME!

We always enjoy our time in Lexington. It is such a great place to sit back and relax with just about anyone. If you listen to the dialogue in the background of these videos, it becomes obvious how we spend most of our time. We also do the Times crossword. We're cultured people dammit!

Nana Debbie's Birthday

Since we were leaving on our annual Kentucky trip, we celebrated Nana's birthday a week early. After a yummy dinner and strawberry shortcake for dessert, Nana took Zoe back with her to New Jersey for her first sleepover. She did so well that she stayed for 4 days.

As hard as it was to be apart from her for that long, it was great to have some time with Ruby and to have the luxury of worrying about only one baby at a time. It's important for the girls to have their experiences with family outside our regular environment.
