Celebrations!

Here's Bri and Bren getting ready to watch Game 6! Bren had no idea Bri had tickets burning a hole in his wallet for Game 7! They wore the same shirt watching the game so the luck wouldn't run out! Apparently, it worked! Here I am all excited (after a few glasses of wine of course) giving our team the thumb's up!
Brendan's reaction the very next morning when Brian told them they were going to Game 7!

Red Sox Nation!

Here are a few photos from last night's W-I-N-N-I-N-G game! Woooooooooooo Hooooooooooo. Go sox. The excitement was unbelieveable and although I was not there personally, Brian and Brendan were there and they would call with the cheering so loud I couldn't hear him at all! So here are a few great shots that Brian got last night. The team, the crowd, and my buddy "Wally" the team mascot. My favorite though, is Brendan cozying up to gals.

Believe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness for some small miracles in life. Brian was so excited on Friday night when he came home from work. The president of the bank thanked Brian for all the hard work he's been putting in at the office by handing over 2 tickets to Game 7!!!! It could not have come at a better time. Brendan has been doing excellent at school (getting all A's on his tests and we got his MCAS results which stated he scored "over proficient" so he really deserved a special day with his dad. I love it when the boys spend time together and to hear them laugh just makes me smile. So I made them promise that amongst all the craziness at the game, they would take photos. I could not believe the shots they got! So here is my favorite photo of them together, sharing a dad/son moment at the Red Sox Game.......GO RED SOX! World Series 2007 here we come! Guess I won't have to beat Schilling with his other sock after all huh?

Happy Birthday Auntie Christy

How would I know if it's the Greatest Show on Earth?

Today I took Samantha and Delaney to the Barnum & Bailey's Circus of Dreams at the Boston Garden. They were so excited they could barely contain themselves. We met my cousin, Dawn, and her daughter (my godbaby) Jamie at Nana Yola's and carpooled in.....the girls were thrilled. We got there, our seats were great! The circus started, the lights went down low and wouldn't ya know they decide to send out a big dragon on wheels, snorting smoke! Ok, Delaney lost it....it actually looked as if the thing was coming right at us! So I calmed her down after repeated chants of "I want to go home now, I want to go home now" and then the strong man comes out. They decide to shoot a cannon ball out of a cannon into his stomach. Ok, if the dragon didn't make the kid lose it, the cannon did! This all happened within the first 10 minutes so of course I sat the remainder of the two hours in the lobby putting in occasional "peeks" through the curtain to which she would turn around and run! So we sat, had ice cream, bought a souvenir and played until it was all over. Thank goodness Dawn came with us or she would have had to sit through the thing screaming because there was no way I was getting Samma out of there. She loved it. So they say it's the Greatest Show on Earth. Hmmmmm. I wouldn't know. I never saw it.............*sniff sniff, sob sob*

So here are a few photos of Delaney showing me the mean, ugly, dragon face and of course, enjoying some ice cream.....in the lobby.

Short but sweet visit

Grandma, Della and Auntie Diane
Papa, Natalie, Della, Grandma & Auntie Di
The crew.........Grandma, Papa, Auntie D and Uncle T!

Today we had a nice visit from Uncle Tony and Auntie Diane all the way from Atlanta, Georgia! Yay....it was so nice to see them although the visit was only a couple of hours. Delaney and Natalie had fun playing with Uncle T and Auntie D once they fully warmed up to them. I wish they could have stayed a bit longer, but we look forward to seeing them again over the next few months. So hurry up and come back! We need some chinese food, devil dogs and a bottle of wine!

Oops......I forgot Delaney on her scooter!

Here she is, my crazy baby riding on the scooter........and she's chewing gum at the same time. LOL.
