David's first basketball game!

Last night, the FIVE of us went to see the Edward Little boys' varsity basketball game, against the Bangor Rams. Never mind that it took us 45 minutes to get everyone ready, dressed, things packed, etc....but we made it to the school for the end of the JV game, and watched it go into overtime. Then, after some time, the varsity team took the floor with the required rap warm-up music, that Paul thought was too loud. Henry liked it though, and David slept through it. David actually slept through the first hour or so that we were there. Then, I decided that I should take him out of the car seat and let him enjoy some of the game. That woke him up!! He enjoyed every minute of it, and never cried or fussed even a second. Henry was the only squirrelly one (big surprise!) and everyone had a great time. Mommy and Paul made a stop at the concessions and bought a water, plain M & M's and some popcorn (which Henry LOVED!!)...see below.

We all had a great time, and decided to leave at halftime. It was 8 o'clock, and we all thought that we had better get home and get the boys to bed. (the Eddies ended up winning and have beaten Bangor TWICE this year!!)

Is that thing broken?

Nope...it was actually warming up when I took this picture. I wanted to take one when we woke up, but had to take care of business with the boys, and get Paul off to school, etc.... So, by the time that I took the picture, it was warmer. But it was -24 F earlier this morning! HELLOO!! I live in Maine, not Antarctica!!??? At least, that it was I thought. Oh, well. It is suppose to WARM up this weekend to the 20's. At least it will be above 0.

Here are a couple of new pics to warm your hearts, since it is sooooo cold! In the first one, Paul and Henry are putting out some "fires" in the kitchen, in their firefighter gear from Uncle John. But where's the axe? (Thanks for that one, John!! Wait until you have kids!!)

Here is David chillin' with the "Hoosier-meister" on the floor. He is all business...no smiles in this photo. But he is quite the smiliey baby!! We think that we will keep him. ; )

Hope you all stay warm and keep in touch! Have a great weekend!!

11 weeks?

Has it been 11 weeks? I can't remember? I think that is right, but don't have the time to count on the calendar. ; )

Things are going well here. Life is still crazy here, and I am wondering if it will ever slow down. Probably not, but that's what I signed up for, right?? The boys are almost over their colds, but now the parents are sick (I fought it as long as I could....). We have a 3-day weekend coming up and Mommy has BUNCO on Friday night! YIPPEE!! We are in the middle of the coldest air of the winter, and the lows are going to be BELOW zero....super!! Glad that we have heat and nice house to stay inside.

Bri's b-day is fast approaching, as is Papa's too.....wonder what they want? Ok, enough babbling. I am sure that there is something that I am supposed to be doing....laundry, dishes, vacuuming, nurse a baby??? Hope you are all well! Miss and love you!!

Christmas 2008

Phew....what a crazy, fun, wonderful, and busy 2 weeks it has been. Here are some shots from the past couple of weeks!

here Paul and Henry are helping Brian make Grandma Jane's sugar cookies.

here are the three boys on the floor.....for only a moment....it is really hard to get a picture of the three of them at this point because they are quite busy. let me say, and now G-Jane and G-Jon have firsthand accounts. Just ask them!!

a couple from Christmas morning......Paul got the tank that he wanted!!

And Henry got a couple of new planes!! He loves them!!

Happy New Year everyone!!! 2009! WOW! How did that happen???
