Arbor Day in October????

It's been HOW long since I last posted!!?? Wow...where does the time go?? I have some serious catching up to do. So, let's get going:

Here are some pics of Opa and his helpers moving a tree from the backyard to the front. Good thing Opa had all this help digging....otherwise it would have only taken him half as long to get the job done!! (Not sure why each boy is only wearing one glove....some sort of weird Michael Jackson tribute????)

Sometimes you just have to....DANCE

Noah requested that we listen to the Mamma Mia sountrack during lunch today. He was happily eating his ziti when all of a sudden....he stopped....stared right at me.....and jumped down onto the floor. I asked him where he was going, and he said, "I just have to dance now." He hit the most beautiful "stayin alive" pose and yelled, "Mommy, it's boogie time!!!!!!" Oy

Hayride to the pumpkin patch

Gotta find just the right one.....

This one is nice and light.

The PUMPKIN TRAIN!! .....smokin'!!!!

First Day of School (again!?)

Today Alex started at his new school as a true preschooler. He is going to be attending a local Montessori School, and Noah will be starting there as well in January. For those of you who do not know, I have left Lilly and am looking for a new job. Since the boys' childcare provider is affiliated with Lilly, we had to leave there. It is extremely difficult to leave there as everyone has really made us feel at home, so I hope this transition will be benign. Noah will stay home with me most of the week, but he will get to go to "school" on Fridays at a local church. The best part is that our dear amigo Eddie will be going there as well.

Alex was so proud of his backpack (Thank you, Coici Donna and "Willmon"!) and his lunch box--I think that is what got him so motivated to start this school. We shall see how he does today!

Wordless Wednesday

Feurwehr!!!!

Yes, I have been dilinquent again. Will attempt to catch up a bit here.

While in Germany, my dear cousins, Katarina and Sebastian had a WONDERFUL surprise for the boys. Imagine their little faces when a firetruck pulled up right in front of Omama's house!! Sebastian is on the fire department and "borrowed" the truck to let the boys explore!!!

"Germamee" (Germany)

We are back from a FABULOUS trip to Germamee (as Alex says). It was so wonderful to see everyone!! I will post pics here of highlights of the trip. Today we start with some photos of the "pilots."
