6 Years :)

On September 25th Craig and I celebrated 6 years of marriage...we're not quite sure where the time has gone but we feel incredibly blessed to have one another and such an amazing little family. 

In about 3 weeks Craig, Sam, Gus and I will welcome our 2nd baby boy and we could not be happier :)  Our family will be complete!

A quick shot of me and my belly before our anniversary date...I am almost 33 weeks along here.



And I had to include this photo of my Gus...I picked up this Moses basket one morning after dropping Sam off at pre-school...I come home, put it on the couch, take a shower and come out to Gus taking a snooze in what he thinks is his new bed :)  Oh dear!  He's in a for another big surprise!

Sam's 1st day of Pre-School

Oh dear, I have been a horrible blogger lately...I'm so behind!!  I will blame pregnancy for that since all I want to do in the little free time that I do have is PUT MY FEET UP!  But I realized I needed to catch up a bit before our little guy arrives so here I go :)

Sam started his 1st year of pre-school this past September.  He goes 3 mornings a week and LOVES it!  He comes home singing songs and sharing all sorts of silly stories.  He is always so excited to share his artwork that he makes each day - our home is now covered in his adorable little creations :) 
Here are a few snapshots of his orientation and first day...

At orientation the kiddos learn how to line up - this was fun to watch :)



Looks like he's being a good listener, huh?



1st trip out to the playground - can't miss Sam...look for the only blondie!

1st day of school :)  He was super excited! 



And of course he had to show the camera his Spiderman "pack-pack" (that's back pack).

Summer trip to Michigan!

We love going to Michigan every summer to see our family!  Sam's favorite memory this year was his trip to the water park (Turtle Cove) with Grandma Jane, Mommy and Daddy.

On our way to swim!

He jumps right in and explores!

Down slide #1...

Swimming with Daddy in the kiddie pool.

Sam the fish!

Sam jumped off the side to Craig at least 100 times...no fear!

Lazy river :)

Grandma Jane swam with us too!

Hanging out with cousins :)

 mmm...ice cream with Conner :)

Sam found his Daddy's old Tigers helmet :)

Kat's Wedding!

On July 29th one of my oldest and dearest friends got hitched!  It was a beautiful NYC wedding...Craig and I had SO MUCH FUN!  Here are a few snap snots of the night :)

Cocktail hour...

Our wedding crew!



There she is!!  The beautiful bride :)



Best friends :)

End of the night...a wonderful wedding!

Summer in Boston

 I LOVE living in this city in the summer time...there are so many fun things to do!!  Last weekend we went to Frog Pond - Sam had a blast!  This weekend we thought it would be fun to visit one of the sprinklers downtown.  Sam was skeptical at first but ended up getting soaked in the end...success!

Daddy convincing Sam to give the sprinkler a try! 

Sam runs back to mommy because "the sprinkler is too big!" 

Sam is brave and gets his feet wet :) 

Sam tells daddy to get wet too! 

RUN!!!

The boys waiting for their food at our new favorite resturant - Craig had the BEST fish sandwich I've ever tasted!

Growing

We're expecting!  Our family is thrilled to welcome our newest addition in November.  Sam is very excited that he will be a BIG brother and tells everyone that will listen that there is a baby in mommy's tummy :)  This picture was taken a few weeks ago - about 20 weeks along. 

Sam gives the baby lots of kisses...here is one of them! 

1st family outing to the movies!

When we found out that Cars 2 was coming out a few months ago Craig and I decided this would be the perfect movie for Sam's very 1st movie theater experience!  We told him all about what to expect but the look on his face when he saw the big movie screen (and then the large popcorn that Craig surprised him with!) was priceless :)  The first 30 minutes were a little touch and go but once he go into the movie it was smooth sailing!  Here are a few snapshot of our family trip to the movies...

On our way to the theater...Sam is showing me that we are seeing Cars 2!

A very excited Daddy and Sam!

A quick picture with Mommy before the previews start.



Oh dear...my little Sam experiences Diet Coke!
