The Polar Express

In typical Wells fashion we decided just days ago to join Kelley and her family in Portland, Maine to go on the Polar Express train (from the movie).  They have been talking about it for years and we have been thinking about it for months, but we like to do things by the seat of our pants!
Well they were right, what a fun weekend!  The Polar Express train was ridiculously fun and pretty darn close to the movie if you asked me.  All of the money went to the train museum in Portland and all of the actors were volunteers and all of the treats were donated.  We even left with a special reindeer bell and collectible mug.  The kids got into their jammies (just like the movie), sang songs, drank hot chocolate, ate cookies and even got to talk to (or just high five) Santa.  Back at the hotel, we put the kids to bed for some adult time with friends!

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

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!
