Reason #1 For Kids to Avoid Alcohol

Chris and I had a relaxing evening dining "al fresco" on Sunday. Sarah and Sophie joined us for dinner, but not drinks..or so we thought. Sarah must have taken a sneaky sip (or twelve) of the Reisling cuz she starting dancing and gyrating like a crazy woman out at a disco.

Would you like a straw to go with that shake, ma'm??

It's the End of the World as We Know It

Crazy hail here in Warwick, NY at 2:30 pm on Tuesday. So much for that 60% chance of light rain. After the power failed and I got booted from my client conference call (YES!) I took the following video footage of the patio..............

So, if this is not the Apocalypse I will blog again later.

Sarah Reads Seuss...and Strips

As part of our nightime routine, we often read to Sarah.
Lately, she has taken it upon herself to read to us .
This evening, she read/spelled the cover to both Sophie and I..........and then flashed us.

Sophie's Baptism

Sophie Grace was Baptised on Sunday May 18, 2008 at St. Stephen's Church.
Although the day started out a rainy mess, the skies eventually cleared and the sun was able to peak through. About 40 family and friends joined us to celebrate her special day, and Godmother Patricia and Godfather Tommy were there with us beside the Baptismal fount as Sophie became "official". She looked like an angel in her gown- the same one used by big-sister Sarah two years ago. Both girls had minimal naps that day, but were still so well-behaved. It made us proud.

Mother's Day 2008

This post is extremely delayed due to the fact that there is just not enough time in a day to do everything that needs to be done, plus post to my blog. Ya'll know what I mean...

Anyway, we went to the Hotel Thayer up in West Point for the Mother's Day brunch. Besides me, Chris and the girls, Cheryl and Bob took the ride over to celebrate the day with us as well.

Sophie was not a happy camper- perhaps she doesn't like frou-frou dresses??? She fussed a lot and was itching to get home. Sarah, on the other hand was "muy perfecto". Couldn't have asked for better. Not an exciting post I know, but that was the day in a nutshell.

Against My Better Judgement...

I bough Sarah light-up Disney character sneakers!!! I usually would never buy something like that for her- but she was so thrilled, I just had too.

We went shopping for shoes for me, and somehow bought for her (please note- I did not even get a shoelace!)

She walked over, picked them out, found her size, and put them on herself. She has such a grin on that I could not say no.

Here is a look-see at the new shoes.

Anyway, I am trying to get a babysitter for tomorrow for the girls so I can get out again to go shoe shopping.

Boring update, I know- but two posts in 24 hours is pretty impressive!!!

Some Pictures to Pass the Time

I am finding myself lacking witty commentary this evening. With all the illnesses last week, my exhaustion is getting the better of me. I have decided to post a few pics to fill some space and meet my weekly blogging quota. Enjoy!!
