Memorial Day weekend 2010


We had another AMAZING weekend at the beach! I am really starting to think that we are good luck for beach weather. It is still May and we had 3 days of the best weather you could ask for in Maine. Our friends the Shumways invited us to their house on the ocean and boy did we take full advantage of the time off and enjoyed ourselves. My kids adore Kevin and Joanna, which makes the weekend even more special.
I truly think the ocean is Richie's most favorite place on earth. He finds the energy to spend the entire day (and he seems to get up early those days!!) outside in the sand. We were also lucky enough to have our friend Maggie join us for a night. She was a little daredevil as well!


Angela LOVED the water even though it was still pretty cold.

Check out this bathing beauty!


This a picture of Richie in his mini pond. The term he coined for the pools that form during low tide. Chris would help him fancy them up each and every time the tide went in and out.

Richie LOVES Joanna and Kevin. Poor Kevin couldn't leave the vicinity without Richie asking where he went. I don't think they had a very relaxing weekend until we left! They are so good with the kids.

Singing the ABC's

So I finally got it on camera although it isn't his best effort. For those of you who have been around us recently, you know how Rich sings the ABC song ALL DAY LONG. It is obviously his favorite song and he is really good at it! In this video he misses a lot of the letters because he does not want to be taped. But he literally knows all the letters and the ending. I guess he was developing his verbal skills when he was sitting on his bottom for all those months NOT crawling. This was taken this morning and I had to bribe his with a cookie. It was only 9 am, but it was the only way I could get him to do it for the camera.

An absolutely beautiful day for my Angela Jane!  She looked absolutely gorgeous and she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.  She celebrated with her family and then with friends who feel like family now.  We are truly blessed! Brunch with family at Monica's and then a bbq at the Crocini's. How cute is she with her bbf's?!?!?!

Celtics courtside!!

Image
At 5:00 Chris got a call from a customer (who happens to live across the street), asking if we wanted his seats for the pre-season Celtics game tonight.  Of course we do!  Yes, it was the first game of the World Series and the Red Sox were playing, but you still can't beat going to a game. Chris had a feeling this guy had good seats, but when we arrived at Row A the kids were ecstatic.  Courtside, directly behind the players seats!  It was so awesome!   They were just feet from us and they were huge.  We could hear the plays they were going to run and then watched them run them.  Angela didn't love the seats because we were almost too close and she had trouble seeing over the 6'7" players!  The game was on ESPN and we were so close to the court that we were also on TV a lot.  My Mom was able to tell me what we were wearing because she watched it.  I found a quick link below.  You can see how close we were. ...
