So, I'm guessing our blog will go from this moment on but I'll do a little recap. I am now at home w/ the kids. I was laid off in August and I have been loving every minute of it. I thought I might post a couple of pics from the fun we've been having.

We've been to:
Isle of Palms, SC w/ Mimi & Papa





Anthony & Papa enjoying ice cream after a long day at the beach. We built a sand castle, flew kites, played frisbee, played in the water. What a great day!






















NJ for Anthony's Godfather's wedding (Brian & Jackie Duff)


The wedding was in Cape May, NJ. It's the most southern point of NJ and it was just beautiful. We had a great time and Anthony was a real trooper. He lasted through a rehearsal dinner, beachside wedding ceremony, and reception sans a meltdown. We couldn't believe it. As you could guess, the cuisine wasn't exactly PB&J pockets but he did great. We were so proud of the little man.




The Local Pumpkin Patch: Ashland Berry Farm


Anthony & Lauren in front of the "How Tall This Fall" sign. Every year since Anthony was born we have gotten him in front of this sign. It's so neat to see how much he has grown over the past year.
































Baltimore for cousin Danny's wedding

Danny and Katie Skelton. They are such an adorable couple. The wedding was wonderful and they danced to the best song I think I have ever heard at a wedding. Better Together by Jack Johnson. If you haven't heard of it you must go to iTunes and download it. It's a perfect first dance song. Congratulations to two wonderful people. We had a great time.






Baltimore Aquarium


Anthony loved the aquarium. I think his favorite part was the dolphin show. We have recently discovered the public library and he found Curious George goes to the Aquarium.
He was so excited so we immediately checked it out!








NC to visit the Shaboskys & the Moricles



Anthony & Cole. They are such great buds.















Junior Women's League Touch-A-Truck


Anthony & his best friend Thomas loved this event. I would say there were over 30 vehicles. They allowed the children to climb up in them, honk the horns, work the controls, whatever. There was a digger, excavator, front loader, tow truck, mack trucks, ambulance, police car, fire truck, recycle truck, large vehicle tow truck, hummer, POD transporter, dump trucks, cherry picker, etc... Anthony was in HEAVEN!!










Maymont Petting Zoo



Anthony and his neighborhood friend Ryan at the petting zoo. Ryan's mom has also been laid off recently so we are enjoying finding all the free events we can. And the boys are LOVING it!















Crump Park

Finally, a picture of Lauren. She's growing and eating tons. And she loves a swing! She's now 7 months and trying her best to crawl but not there yet. She can roll like crazy though. She can definitely get anywhere she wants.









Pumpkin Craft Festival @ the mall complete w/ Gourd Orchestra

Those ears!! He wears Sean's hats and they push his ears straight out. I keep telling him to tuck them in but he refuses!! HA!


















The Gourd Orchestra
Anthony is still talking about the band and how much he enjoyed it. They even had a song called Kudzoo. Too funny!









Build-A-Bear for Hunter's 1st Birthday















Hunter is Thomas's little brother. Thomas and Anthony got matching Triceratops and matching baby dinos for Hunter and Lauren. they are great big brothers. Thomas' dino is named "Dinosaur" and Anthony's is named "Spidey" b/c he's wearing spiderman pjs.
