Birthday hockey game

Although Rich wanted another (would have been the third year!) birthday party at our ice rink, we wanted to do something different (aka a little smaller).  I think we came up with the perfect compromise.  We took Richie, some family and two good friends to a Northeastern Huskies hockey game.  We had already been to one of their games (with Colton) so we are already all Huskies fans.  We took the T over there since Jakie and Joshie LOVE trains.  Then some pizza and a Batman cake before the fun game.  We had a whole section to ourselves so we could hang out with our guests and cheer on the Huskies.  Then to top off the night, Richie's birthday was announced over the loud speaker AND they put it up on the Jumbotron!  I am so glad I got a picture of it.  Pretty exciting for a hockey loving five year old! 
Happy Birthday to my big man!!
Thanks Jakie, Joshie, Babci, Aunt Erin, Uncle Matt, Colton, Maddie and Nate for celebrating with us and for being such good friends/family.  You made this the best fifth birthday party ever!

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!
