Angela's first ice skating lesson

Angela was so good at ice skating the last two times we took her that we thought she was ready for lessons.  She is technically too young to start, but close enough, right?  She loves ice skating, but from the second we told her about lessons she said, "NO".  Utoh.....not a good start.  We actually almost canned the whole idea and then this morning she said she was a big girl and wanted to skate.  We know the little kid's instructor Kate because she taught Rich for his first two years so I knew she would be in good hands.  AND Angela just wants to do what Richie does so she got out on the ice pretty easy.  Once out there she did amazing!  I remember Rich's first lesson and how shocked I was.  Today was no different.  You can see her all by herself with the other kids all over the ground.  At the same time, she didn't really do much of what Kate told her.  She mostly skated around by herself.  She would come over to me and then skate over to her brother.  That is my Angela!  She has never been one for rules.

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)

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.

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!
