My Cutie Pies...

I'm so excited...I finally got some great pictures of Adriana & Logan together...pictures where Logan isn't crying when his big sis is holding him :-)

Adriana's Party

The Barbie Cake!

Nonni, Adriana and Barbie cake "in progress"

That was some yummy cake...

Adriana got a fish for her birthday...she named it "Goldy"

Adriana's Four!!!!

Adriana turned 4 yesterday; she had such a wonderful day! It started out with some "snuggle time" with Momma & Daddy in bed, then on to help Momma make chocolate chip pancakes (a favorite). She decorated cupcakes in the morning with Memere and then got ready for her big adventure to Build-a-Bear. Adriana was able to invite two friends to go to Build-a-Bear with her...we picked up Amelia and Mercy and were on our way. We made a quick stop by Mrs. Martha's house where Adriana had flowers, a balloon and care bear waiting for her...so sweet! The girls had so much fun at Build-a-Bear...I couldn't resist taking tons of pictures of the three beautiful blondies :-) They had so much fun and, of course, chose to make the exact same bear! We ended our adventure at Cold Stone Creamery where we sang Happy Birthday to Adriana and she got to open presents...what a fun trip!! Later we had dinner of Chicken Pizzaola which Adriana picked out (well with help from Momma since we didn't all want "chicken nuggets"). She opened presents and had to conquer her new 63-piece puzzle before going off to bed. Enjoy the pics!! I'll update again after her family birthday party on Saturday!!

Here we go...

Thanks Mrs. Martha, Mr. Josh, and Reilly!!!

Now that's too cute!

Three peas in a pod...

Yummy ice cream

In the elevator...

Family photo :-)

Adriana's a huge Dora fan...thanks Memere & Pepere

Thanks Aunt Erin, Uncle Al, Keely, Alana & Brooke (we miss you!!!)

Finally...a cupcake and candle (stay tuned for the cake pictures after Saturday...let's hope the cake resembles a Barbie :-)

All done...good night!!!

Our Smiley Boy

Logan's First Bath

Well, Logan's umbilical cord FINALLY fell off so we were able to take a "real bath". He was quite content! I can't believe he'll be 1 month old tomorrow (Friday, Sept 5)...where does the time go???

Adriana's First Day of 4 yr old Preschool

Adriana has been waiting & waiting for her first day of preschool this year! She loves school and told me on the way yesterday "I'm a big girl now, you can just drop me off at the front door"...needless to say, I said "no thank you"...I guess I needed to see her off more than she needed to say bye to me! Maybe it's my new "mother of two" brain, but I nearly forgot to take a picture so we got one in the car :-)

Here's Adriana in her new classroom...she was excited to see several of her friends from last year in her class...it's going to be a great year for her!

Aunt Erin's Visit

We had such a GREAT visit with Erin over Labor Day weekend! She got to spend lots of time with Adriana and Logan. She was so sweet to clean our house, freeze dinners, and play with Adriana non-stop!! I don't know what I would do without her...she is such a wonderful sister and aunt! We can't wait to meet up with Erin & the girls & Nonni in October (Adriana & I created a calendar so we can "count down" to our next visit).
