I touched the Stanley Cup!!

So as everyone knows, the winning NHL hockey players each get to spend a day (any way they want) with the Stanley Cup.  To make a long story short, Andrew Ference decided that the North End was now his home so he brought the cup "home" to us!  With a hysterical impromptu parade (including our own Roma band) through the streets, they ended with a flash mob!  I might have to find the links with the video of all of this.  We personally knew about all of this so we set out to find the cup.  It was a hungry, cranky time for my kids (we had just had a play date with the kids going to Richie's new school at the playground) so we just wanted to get our glimpse and go home.
When we saw the cup coming we tucked ourselves in between two cars and waited.  Luckily they wanted Andrew to take a picture with the cup in front of Modern Pastry so they stopped the parade, put the cup down, he grabbed it and brushed RIGHT BY US!!  As you can see in one picture below (for those of you who recognize my arm!), it was so close I reached out and touched it!!  We were all star-struck!  And you can see, Angela put her hockey shirt on and yelled, "The Stanley Cupcake!" when she saw it!

Giggles!

Although Angela loves to smile (and does so ALL the time) she has been stingy with the belly laughs. Not this day!! She is totally a daddy's girl and he is the best at making her giggle. Enjoy - it is music to our ears.

Single Mom - missing Daddy

Image
Since Chris was away again for work, we had our first Mommy/Richie/Angela days. It was a lot of work, but I did it! I guess I can handle 2 kids at once. Here are some pictures of our days so Chris can see what we did and know we missed him. We did lots of extra fun stuff because I was bribing Richie so he would go get a hair cut. Well it worked! He is finally not a shaggy dog and he didn't cry again. I am so glad the meltdowns during hair cuts are gone. That first one was brutal. I will never forget it. Some of our first smiles! (Unfortunately my camera memory card was full so this video got cut off)

Red Sox game with our pal Colton

Image
Another fun baseball game and this one we invited Richie's best bud Colton.  We used to invite our friends and now we invite the kids friends.  Luckily Colton's parents are our friends as well so a good time was had by all.   Since the Red Sox were playing the Yankees, Rich wore the special shirt Babci made for him (half Red Sox half Yankees).  He always gets a lot of attention from it.  And this time Angela really got into the game more than usual.  She was so excited from the second we told her we were going to the game.  She insisted on wearing her Red Sox hat and shirt.  She cracked up everyone on the train because of her outfit and how she just kept yelling about the Red Sox.  Big Papi is her favorite player and she yelled his name the whole game.  Check out the video!
