Let's go to the farm!

The boys and I drove to Freeport yesterday to visit Wolfe's Neck Farm. The weather was absolutely perfect....sunny and about 72 degrees, NO BUGS, with a warm sea breeze. The farm is overlooking the Atlantic Ocean....beautiful!!! We also met our friends, Lori and Todd Marquis Boutin and their daughter Ellen (Colin, their son, was at school). Their niece Ashley came along too. We all had a great time and enjoyed looking at the month-old lambs, baby pigs, young calves and mother cows. There were also some chickens and roosters roaming free, and some caged baby chicks that were about 1-2 months old at least. One rooster in particular really liked Paul and stayed next to him for a while, chatting up a storm. Paul also found a toy tractor, that he thought should come home with us. (see the above pictures.....)

Have a great weekend everyone! Hope that it is sunny and warm where you are!!

Rough morning at Shaw's...

As you can tell from this picture, we wiped Henry out grocery shopping this morning (well, yesterday morning...I tried to post last night, but it wouldn't work). He fell asleep about 1/10 of a mile from the house, and just completely passed out. I brought him in the house, unloaded all the groceries, even put them away and he was still asleep. Paul asked, "Where is Henry?" I asked Paul if he could find him. That was pretty cute...watching Paul walk around trying to find him, and then he finally did, and wanted to wake Henry up. So, Paul gave him a kiss and a hug, and Henry slowly woke up. It was a nice Mommy moment for me. Then they played nicely while I made lunch....an almost too perfect setting.

Also, Happy Mother's Day to all those who are reading, that are mothers!! And have a great weekend!

My boys....

Last week was April vacation, and we had an awesome time. The weather was absolutely perfect, and it was sunny everyday. Of course, the boys wanted to go outside all the time, and especially since Daddy had fixed the sandbox for this year's fun.

Here are a couple of pictures from one sunny morning in the backyard. The boys and Daddy; Henry with his new sunglasses....Spiderman, of course. And a new hat that Mommy bought while visiting Shoba in Maryland. Paul is wearing his Portland Seadogs hat, and is excited to be going to his second game ever later this spring (in June). Will he still be afraid of the Trash Monsters, we will see.

Here they are playing in the sandbox...and the boys STILL have on their hats and sunglasses. A minor miracle in the world of children, as any mom can atest. Don't worry grandparents, they are wearing sunblock, hats, sunglasses, and playing under an umbrella. Safe and sound!!

Have a great weekend everyone!! Summer is right around the corner. We are planting our garden next weekend. I think that we should be safe from any snowstorms at that point. We hope!!

Uncle John comes to town...

Uncle John drove up from Portland last night, as he was helping Uncle Tom and Aunt Emily move into their first house! Congrats to the Portland Marczaks!! My little bro is growing up so fast....Anyway, Uncle John and my Mom came over for dinner last night (pizza and salad!!) and Uncle John managed to get both boys to sit in his lap long enough to read Finding Nemo to them (the board book version). It was the quietest that they were all day long.

jumping for joy!

Brian tried for a while to get a picture of Paul jumping in the air, and finally shot this one. It was all Paul's idea in the first place. I think that it is pretty cute that Paul wanted to do that.



This one of Henry says it all. He can be quite the stinker sometimes. I mean that in a good way. He definitely keeps me on my toes, and it's a good thing that he wasn't the first born (only child!!). Just kidding, or am I?? Anyway, he is a sweetheart, but you can just see that little something in his eyes, right??

boys and their cars...

Hello there! I had to post this picture because it is so true of our boys, day and night. Cars, trains, trucks, and planes.....24/7!! Oh, and baseballs, basketballs, any ball! And Lego's too. But that is about it. They LOVE to play with any vehicle with wheels! I can't wait until the sandbox dries out so we can play in it with the new construction sand toys Santa brought last Christmas. Should be fun! Hope everyone is doing well! Have a great rest of the week!

I love my life!

Good evening! Hope everyone is having a good week. I am just so happy that it is April, I can't even begin to tell you. Our snow banks are slowly receding, and I think that we may be able to get into the backyard before May1st?! Who knows? I know that it has almost been another 2 weeks since I have posted, but we are a busy group of people here in Auburn. But now that I think about it, what have we done? Just living day to day with the normal chaos that is two young boys, a dog, husband and a pregnant mommy. I love it though. And wouldn't change anything for the world. My life is perfect!! Happy Friday (tomorrow)!! Have a great weekend!

Here Paul is enjoying some of mommy's chicken cacciatore, green peppers and some garlic bread. Paul, where is your napkin??
