Happy Thanksgiving!

We made it back to Baltimore for a few days to visit and enjoy Thanksgiving with the Semesky's. 

Papa got a HUGE turkey! We  had to take pictures for comparison!

                                                        Cousin Tom who taught Andrew all about his iphone-

                                             Cousin Anna was a favorite

We got to meet little cousin Brylee, and Ryan was in love. All he wanted to do was "hold, hold"

We have so much to be thankful for! Thank you to all our friends and family who love us so much! Here is our finished wall of thankful leaves!

And our Thanksgiving namecards for everyone-

Eight is enough?

We had our good friends the Kelly's visit this weekend and had a total of 8 people in the apartment. I think we were all a little nervous but it went great! The kids had a great time playing and sleeping together and most the kids actually slept through the others waking up.
Friday Melody and I took Andrew and Kendall to the Radio City Christmas Music Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes.  I thought it was a great show and I think the kids liked it, I just think we may not have had enough food.

Kendall's first time in a cab!

Checking out the ice skaters in Rockefeller Center

On Saturday we just took the kids to Central Park and to the Natural History Museum before naps/meltdowns occurred!

                              Jumping in the leaves!

                                     The new Space exhibit-

  We then got two sitters to come watch the boys so the adults could go out. We went to Casa Mono, a Mario Batali restaurant in Gramercy Park. It was spanish small plates, so it was quite interesting.

This is how much fun the boys had-this was around 9pm (the only reservation we could get was 530)

                                      The kids zonked out together

Helping deflate  the air mattress-

Overall, I think everyone had a great time and we can't wait to see them again!

Lemons anyone?

Just had to share. I love when they think they want one…

My first time...

calling Poison Control!!
The boys had glow stick bracelets from Halloween. Andrew took one to bed tonight and a few minutes later came out telling me "before they die, they get wet on the outside and Ryan drank some." Um…what?!?!? I ran in there, washed Ryan's face and hands off and called Poison Control. They said he was fine and may vomit if he had too much, but just to watch him. It did stain the carpet though, and Andrew's sheets-guess there goes our security deposit! Glad Ryan is okay though!

Colic??

Can a toddler have colic? If so, I think Ryan has it. Happy Days:)Publish Post

My, how big you think you are….

After we returned, I obviously needed to go to the store. Chris took the boys to the playground and then to get bagels. When they were leaving the bagel store, Andrew high tailed it out and started heading home. Chris said it took him about 30 seconds and the help of a stranger to find him. He had made it to the end of the block and was waiting on Chris. Talk about scary!!
Later that afternoon I took Chris downstairs to show him how to do the laundry. Ryan was asleep and Andrew was watching a show. We asked him if he wanted to go down or finish his show. He said, finish his show. So, Chris and I carried the laundry to the elevator, down to the cellar and started the laundry.  About two minutes later, Andrew showed up!! So, he did all that…ALONE!!
OH my!!
