Hello there everyone. Here is an update on how Shawn and Emily are doing as of their 18 month check up...
Shawn is now 19 lbs and 31.25 inches tall. He is finally starting to say a couple of words and he climbs all over the place.
Emily is now 19.4 lbs and 31 inches (she still looks taller to me!) anyway, she is talking up a storm and boy does she have that little girl attitude...Everything is "No" or "Don't".
They definately have the "TWIN THING" going on and it is really cute to watch.
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the cold weather. Talk to you all soon!!


KISSY FACE!!!

Well hello there to all my friends and family. I know it has been awhile since I last wrote, but it has been busy. Now that the holiday season is over and it is officially 2007 I hope to get back into routine.

I got to go to Brendans school and make christmas decorations. It is always nice to see how the are in school with the other kids. He is doing very well in school and making a lot of friends. He definatley is a ladies man (LOL).Here is a picture of his best buddies ( Kevin & Gabriela)

Santa was very good to all of us this year, not to much, just enough. Santa came to visit and Marie & Lennys this year again and some of them were not to happy to say the least. We had to drag Brendan out from behind the couch and the babies were really not to sure of him. Thomas just went with the flow of things and got his present.

We spent the holiday traveling here and there so it was really exhausting. The kids had a great time opening lots of gifts and seeing the family. It was really nice to spend the holidays with the family. We are blessed to have everyone. other than that, we all seem to have coughs or runny noses...FUN! We stayed home for New Years Eve and spent some time with our neighbor, Adrienne. Tomorrow is back to work and school for everyone. Wish you all a happy and healthy new year and NO MORE DICK CLARK NEXT YEAR!

Well not to much has happened since my last post. We went trick or treating with some friends. It was a big year for superheros. Brendan was a red power Ranger, Thomas was Spiderman, Victoria was Wonder Woman and Kieth was Superman. There were no problems in our neighborhood!!! Since last I have turned another year older. My how time flies. I still cant believe that I am now 35 and have 4 kids. I never would have imagined 10 years ago all this!

This week I will getting ready to have our 2nd Thanksgiving in our house. I am so excited. I love cooking and with all our kids it will be so much easier being home. My inlaws and Gram will be joining us this year.

Hello again to all my family & friends.

Today I am writing to let you know that

my loving father has passed away on 10-15-06

He will be dearly missed

and will alway be in our heart and minds.

He was such a wonderful and great father, loving grandfather

husband and a easy to love person.

He made friends everywhere he went and

no matter where you went someone knew him!

He saw everyone as an equal.

He was a diehard and devoted Met fan his whole life.

He attended every opening day for 37 years.

He worked hard his whole life to support his family.

We will always remember the key in the ear, trying to find his hankie,

laughing so hard he would bite his tounge, one eyebrow, bad jokes,

no-one could ever have the coffee ready on time,

and many good laughs.

He is now at peace and his is

Home with the lord and once again joined with my mother.

We love you daddy and will miss you so much.

Please watch over all of us.

Hugs and Kisses eternally

Well hello everyone...Today is October 12th 2006
Just wanted to keep you updated on the growth of Shawn & Emily . Today was there check up and they are both doing fine. They are still half pints in their weight, but right on in there height. They both got 2 shots today and Shawn cried like a baby...Emily on the other hand, stuck out that lip and took it like a trooper, not a tear was shed!!

THATS MY LITTLE TOUGH GIRL!!

Shawn is weighing in at a wooping 18.4 oz and is 30 1/4 inches tall.
Emily is weighing a mear 17.14oz and is 30 inches tall
Not bad for my little preemies.

Well here is something really cute I want to share...My sister Marie took Brendan and Thomas to the movies today and Thomas said the cutest thing..."Can we take a rocket ship to the sky to go see jesup?" I think that is really cute. The things that kids say and think, huh?

Well a new school year has begun and I can see changes all over the place... First up is Brendan

This is a big year for Brendan. He has begun Kindergarten. His teacher is Mrs. Montick.He love riding on the big bus, his spiderman backpack and lunch box. I have seen so many changes in him, good and bad, already within these few weeks. He loves to write and draw pictures faster than I can supply the paper. He has sprouted up in height, not so much in the weight! He is very strong willed, which and this age is not a good thing. LOL.

Thomas loves being the big brother when Brendan is at school. He loves going to all his library classes and having alone time with mommy. He also is growing by leaps and bounds. He loves playing with play-do and busting Brendans chops. Hard being the middle child. Still wants to be a baby but at the same time wants to be the big boy. It will all work out for him.

Shawn has been walking now for about a month. He is sort of running all over. He is babbling away and loves to give hugs. His favorite song is Itsy Bitsy Spider. He loves all foods. His hair has turned blonde and his eyes are still blue. He is always smiling. He is just so happy with life. He is my more laid back, but energtic. He loves to play with cars too!!!Noises and all.

Emily has just started to walk and still kind of walks like a little baby frankenstein. She is Miss. Attitude/Personality to say the least. She knows what she wants and exactly how to get it. Thats my little girl. She has her little baby doll that gram gave her that she loves...Baybeeee and Ladeeee are her fav words right now. Still dont her the mama...I can finally put some baretts in her hair now that it has come in. She is holding her own very well with all her big brothers.

We have been pumpkin picking recently and that was a lot of fun for the kids. It was the first time for Shawn and Emily, but I know they had a good time. They really liked biting on the little baby pumpkins. Brendan and Thomas loved finding their own pumpkins and playing on the tractor. It is making the memories and being able to share them with all of you that makes me happy!

Well that is the update for now on the kids. Mike and I are doing well, we are little tired...but that is expected. We are enjoying them so much and are so happy to have them. Well check back soon. I will try to keep up with any news.
