Spring Break

We've enjoyed our spring break this past week! We went to the zoo, had special visitors and spent lots of time at the playground and riding bikes!

What's new with us...

The snow is finally melted and we are getting excited for Spring! Today it was beautiful and we were able to take a walk after dinner. It was fun to walk with Isabella in the jogging stroller and Aidan walking along with us. It's amazing how quickly they are both growing up! Aidan is signed up to play baseball this spring and his new nick name around our house is Cal for Damian and Jeter for me. Isabella or Miss America as we call her, is still as social as can be. She likes to entertain the room, or grocery store, by getting everyone and anyone to interact with her. She waves, says hi and is starting to pose and grin for anything that looks like a camera or is looking her way. She isn't the "signer" that her brother was at his age, but instead tells us what she wants, including "up", "eat", "all done", etc. I'll be downloading Spring pictures to post soon.

Blizzard 2010

The Blizzard of 2010 dumped almost 30 inches of snow on Germantown! We've spent the past few days digging out and playing in the snow. We're just about done with snow for the season after this storm!

Big kids!

After a really big weekend (Isabella's baptism and Aidan's 4th birthday party) we went to the pediatrician for Aidan's 4 year old visit and Isabella's 9 month old visit. What we learned was that we have really big kids!

At 4, Aidan is weighing in at 43 pounds and measuring over 42 inches. He is in the 90th percentile for both height and weight.

At 9 months old, Isabella is weighing in at 19 pounds and measuring 28 inches. She is in the 65th percentile for height and the 70th percentile for weight. The pediatrician was amazed that she is as verbal as she is - while we were there she said Aidan and up...she also says mama, dada and hi regularly.

People look at me and remark that my husband must be a really big guy - my response is generally not so much. Guess we just have big kids!

Pictures of this past weekend will come later this week!

Bowling with the Ladies

Aidan and I went on a little playdate bowling with a few of his friends yesterday. He had a great time with Catherine and Sabrina. Who would have known that bowling would have been such a hit with 3 year olds!

Christmas morning

Christmas morning started very early when we were thrilled to see that Santa had come and enjoyed the cookies, milk and carrots we left for him and the reindeer. Aidan opened his presents at record speed, while Isabella took her time. The highlight for Aidan was his lego table from Santa - it will also keep his legos off the floor and away from Isabella, who puts everything and anything in her mouth!

After opening our gifts at home, we headed to PA where we celebrated with Damian's family. We had celebrated Christmas with my sister, her husband and my parents earlier that week.

We were busy over the holidays!

Our Christmas Eve was memorable as Isabella made her theatrical debut as baby Jesus. Aidan was a Shepard, while Damian and I were Mary and Joseph.
