July 2016-
I was the flower girl for my Aunt Bev's wedding and many years later my daughter is Aunt Bev's daughters flower girl. She is so beautiful.
Ready with her flowers to walk down the aisle.
After the wedding ceremony.
Walking down the aisle. She did a great job!
FAMILY is everything. This is it for my side.
I really want to sign the kids up for piano lessons. Oh, and for myself too!

Katie, Cousin Joey and Mikey.
Girls and their poses.
Happy 4th of July!
Early morning run on the beach!
Our favorite time to go is low tide, early in the morning or late in the evening. It's becomes our secret place. Shhhh.
The 3rd kid. Fists full of sand. It's okay.
Being naked on the beach is okay too.
She has our hearts forever.
August 2016-
Katie's 5th Birthday was celebrated twice this year. Once at home and again with all her friends at Kids U.
Pictures of Emily's 1st birthday are below.
Maybe she just needed to warm up to the idea of cake.
Time for presents!
Three amigos.
We learned to swim this summer. Finally!
Fishy in the water. It took one afternoon in 3 feet of water and that was that!
Wet, soggy but happy!
A sweet shout out to Dadda from our littliest. "Good Day Dad."
Hershey Park Happy!
Cotton Candy Treat.
Daddy lovin on the choo-choo train.
Another summer favorite moment- witnessing Emily receive the Holy Spirit.
God is within her; she will not fail. Psalms 46:5
God Parents Danny and Jamie with our family.
She was not happy with the bib on.
Us with Nana and Papa.
Ending the last moments of August with Sparklers.
Water Balloons are super fun too!
Daddy Daughter Day out was spent on a train ride into NYC for lunch and to see the Lion King on Broadway!
Some of my favorite memories are the most ordinary moments.
September 2016-
First day of First Grade and Kindergarten.
A little apprehensive but big brother was there with his comforting gestures.
A birthday party and someone gave her a candy necklace. The look of fear in her eyes as I took this- thinking it would be taken away at any moment.
Spending a beautiful late summer day in New York City.
Jumping at the top of huge boulders in Central Park.
Scott and I at the famous Bow Bridge in Central Park.
Ballet class began for Katie.
October 2016-
We became a soccer family for 8 or 9 Saturdays in the Fall for the second year in a row. Katie scored twice this season and was good on defense too. Go Real Madrid!
Mikey likes to play straight up defense and he's great at it! Go Team Dortmund!
I clearly had fun running it too!
Mikey ran the Spartan Race with me and ran he did. The entire race passing kids much older than him. A little coaching from me; slow and steady wins the race!!!
Scott and I snuck away a weekend and spent it in the sunshine, exploring NYC, enjoying the sunshine and each other with no kids in site! Times Square just people watching below.
Brooklyn Bridge
Halloween - Iron Man and Princess Jasmine. Picture taken below was at their schools annual Monster Mash Party.
Mikey told us he had the best 7th birthday party ever, and that's all that matters. Scavenger hunt, lots of bullets and nerf guns and boys from school and even an alien to fight off. Plus a sister too.
November 2016-
Special moments can happen anywhere. You just have to say YES. Like at Target.
Reading to dogs at the Library. Katie and Mikey are both great readers!
Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of being somewhere for the Thanksgiving Holiday and just BEING. We had a turducken for the first time and it was delicious!
We are thankful for the great school our kids can attend with their hands on learning and state of the art technology. Michael during Colonial day at school.
December 2016
Decorating for the birth of Jesus.
Mikey is taking up karate again and is showing enthusiasm and passion for the sport.
She is growing up way to fast.
Old Greenwich Holiday Stroll- getting into the spirit of the holidays.
Thankful for Nana and Papa to drive up and help when needed.
