Mario

I had to post some more Mario pictures because he is just about the cutest baby ever. He is incredibly sweet and precious. Can you tell that I love him?

Kooza and W.A. Frost

As an anniversary gift to each other, we went to Cirque du Soleil's new show, Kooza. It was amazing! There were many incredible, breathtaking moments. After the show, we went to W.A. Frost for dinner. It seems to be becoming an anniversary tradition of ours because it is so fabulous. Thanks, Ryan, for such an a fantastic anniversary!

Anniversary

Ryan took the day off on Wednesday so that would could spend our anniversary day together. We went to lunch, took a beautiful and long hike through Afton State Park, and later went to a movie! It was a wonderful day.

Our Third Anniversary!

Today is our third wedding anniversary! Ryan and I woke up this morning and started saying things like, "I would have been getting dressed in my tux right now," and "I would have been getting my hair done about this time." It's exciting to reminisce and think about all of the beautiful memories from our wedding and the past three years, but it's even more exciting to think about what the next three (or thirty!) years will hold for us. I thank God everyday for the gift of my wonderful husband, and I am so blessed to have had three amazing years with him!

Happy Anniversary, Ryan! I love you!

Science Museum

Last weekend Michael and Joe stayed at our house, and we took them to the Science Museum the next day. In addition to the regular exhibits, we saw the new Titanic exhibit. It was very cool, and we all enjoyed it.

Here are the boys in front of a backdrop of the Titanic's grand staircase.


There was also a huge piece of ice that gives you an idea of what the iceberg that the Titanic hit was like.


And, of course, the Science Museum has many great things as part of their regular exhibit.

Michael and Joe especially loved the musical stairs.

They are growing up so fast, and it was great to be able to spend time with them!

4th of July

The day started out with a trip to the park with the kids. It was a beautiful day out!


























Then we went to the hospital to wish Annie a happy birthday!











After the hospital visit, we went over to my parent's house. The kids had a blast hanging out and watching fireworks. But, we all agreed that the 4th of July just isn't as much fun without the birthday girl.

Baby Mario Donald!

Sweet little Mario Donald was born to my sister Ann and her husband Steve yesterday morning! He is absolutely precious! Ryan and I have been staying with Anthony, Gianna, and Lorenzo since Annie called us to tell us that she was in labor. She gave birth to Mario at about 5:30 am Friday morning, which was, coincidentally, about the same time that Anthony and Zo got up for the day! :) The kids have been so good for us, and we all loved meeting Mario in the hospital. Also, happy birthday to Annie! Mario was born one day before his mommy's birthday!
