Summer Fun

Hanging at different beaches around town
Leah and Sophia start to recognize each other and it is sooo adorable

The first time we had our kids break the law and sneak into a "closed" park.

Make the most of the rainy days and take it to the mall

The last Mother Goose of the summer. Bye bye Melissa, Will, and Baby Dugas.........we will miss you soooooo much.

Some days Mommy and I spend alone time at Brewster Playscape

RyePlayland.....although Leah would rather run around then go on the rides

Pool time with the girls

Reading time at Stepping Stones

Leah at her "Sing and Sign" class.

At the Butterfly Farm....our budding photographer

Leah and Sophia dancing at Mother Goose

I have been so absent from the blog. What a difference a year makes. Leah has been keeping me soooooo busy that it feels like we are out everyday together trying to make the most of my time off with her ( which I am just loving right now!!). Here are some fun pics from over the past month of what we've been up to!

All I want to do is dance

Just a taste of the dancing!!I keep trying to capture the singing on video, but the file is always to big. I will get it shortly.

Sleepover at the Jalosky's

Happy Birthday Daddy

We love nap time!!

and pool time!

While the Daddy's went fishing all the girls went to play at the pool,. We spent the weekend out in Long Island and got to visit our very good friends Jonathan and Becky ( and their little one's Eva and Ethan). We've always had our sleepovers with the Jalosky, whether it be in Rockland, New Rochelle, NYC, CT or Long Island....but oh how the days have changed when you add 3 little ones in the mix. Leah discovered her love for baby strollers and now mommy has to get one. Everytime we leave their place we have a toy we have to buy!!! Here are some pics from the fun weekend:

Bye Bye Baba

Tonight was the last of the Baba ( bottle). She was only down to the night time one.To be honest, she didn't even care, I think it was harder on me. Soooo......... so long bottle, drop-ins, and measuring milk!

My first trip to the beach

After the fireworks from 4th of July we had some great weather the next day and went for Leah's first trip to the "real" beach. A little hestitant at first, after a few minutes she was jumping (very small) waves and digging in the sand. One of Mommy's favorites places on earth so I was happy that Leah was sharing in her happiness. A perfect way to start the summer. She also made it the ENTIRE day with no nap, that in itself was a miracle.

Happy 4th of July!!

The windest day ever on top of the Trump Marina...all of our food went flying!
Leah loving the family time

Lainey and Jared never let go!

Sleepy time with Mommy

yes, I am a diva

Best seats in the house for the fireworks

Got my red, white, and blue

Summer has been getting so busy that I am really behind on my postings. July 4th was spent with family and Leah's first trip to Atlantic City. If Noni has anything to do with it, it will not be her last. It was an awesome time with many more "first's" for Leah. One of the coolest things to happen down there was while spending time with her cousins Jared and Lainey, she started calling them Jared and Lainey. Other than Mama and Dada she hasn't really called anyone by their names. The funniest part of all is that she hasn't stopped. Now every time we see a little girl she yells out "Lainey"!!!. Noni got us great tickets to the best fireworks show we ever saw!. It was a late night for Leah ( all the way to 9:00....but she couldn't last and was asleep at 8, pretty much missing the entire show!!). One of the best 4th of July's we ever had!

June is one of my favorite months of the year!!!

June has been a great month filled with new arrivals, visits with family and friends, Father's Day, a lot of play dates, and the end of Leah at daycare full time! Here are all the fun things we did this month.

Mommy gets a new car and all Leah wants to hear is the "Elmo CD" every time we get in it!

We had lots of fun at Van Saun Park with Noni. LeLe loved the train ride and seeing all of the animals.

Yes there is a new baby in town.....we are so happy to welcome baby Bella ( Isabella) to the world. Congrats to Adam and Dominque, she is a cutie.

Taking her first bath with her bff's Syd and Liv (although Liv was not excited to see Leah in her tub)

I wonder what kind of secret they are sharing????

Here the girls are sharing pajamas, bottles, and books.

BBQ time at the Kurchack's.....saying bye bye to baby Olivia before she leaves for camp.

Meeting up with the cousins at the Children's Museum. Leah gets to sign Lainey's cast!!

More fun at the museum

Lainey.....I can't wait for you to teach me EVERYTHING!!

Happy Father's Day to the best Daddy in the whole world. Seriously...... you rock!

Brunch at Rosie's

Finally we get to plant some pretty flowers. Leah loves to say "ohhh flowers" and then smell them.

And now that June has come to an end Mommy and Leah are soooo excited to be together everyday. I am sure there will be alot to write about over the summer.
