Fun Day

Today i got to meet a friend of mine that I met on a chat board of sorts of all women who were due in April. Melissa and her family drove out from Ohio to do the Boston area sightseeing deal. We first met up in Gloucester where they had bee on a whale watch. We had lunch together. Then I had them follow me to Salem. We went to the wharf where I take a lot of my photos so I took some of Melissa, her husband Tom, 5 year old daughter Emily, and 2.5 month old Allison. Emily got into the whole photo shoot idea and even became the photographer. She took this one of me!

The last one is of Me, Melissa and our "April" babies.

You can see the rest of the photos here

Oh my babies are so cute!

First 4th of July

First Family Vacation

We headed down to the Cape to visit Chris's grandmother last Saturday. I thought we'd get the kids up around 8 or 9 and be on the road by 10-ish (silly mommy of twins). After packing everyone's stuff we were finally ready to go at 12:30. We got there around 3 after a stop at a rest stop to feed M&J where Madison decided she was going to vomit all over me and the booth at McDonalds. UGH! Why does she insist on doing this to me??
We had a nice dinner with Nana that Chris cooked on the grill while Nana and I made other stuff in the kitchen. We wanted to make it to the beach with the babies before it got dark out. So we packed them up in the stroller and walked a few blocks to the ocean. It was SO cold and windy but I made them suffer through it to get those photos of them in the sand. Then we went back and had dessert and watched the red sox game and made the babies smile on their play matt.
Sunday we got up and had breakfast then the four of us went to Mashpee Commons which is a big shopping area. We had lunch there and window shopped then went back to Nana's.
Gia and Loren were also in the same town we were visiting Gia's Mother so we went over there where they have a pool. It was still pretty cool but we took them in anyway. They both cried at first but ended up enjoying it as I moved them around in the water. We took video but didn't get any pictures. Then we went back to Nana's for dinner then went back to Gia's and hung out there for the evening. Monday morning Gia and Loren came to Nana's and we all walked to the beach. M&J weren't overly happy about being there but it was all downhill after putting their feet in the ocean. It took us a long time to calm them down after that but they eventually fell asleep in the stroller.
We had to get on the road so that I could get to work for 6pm so we packed up and said goodbye to Nana. We hope to go down again in the next few weeks.

Weekend of firsts

We had a great time on our first family vacation to Cape Cod. M&J were perfectly behaved as usual. I'll go into detail later but for now here are my favorite photos.
