We Finally Bought One!
Jeff and I finally bought a double stroller and we're so happy with our new purchase. It's so nice to strap both the girls in and take off. I have been out walking almost every day since we bought the stroller. During our walk, the girls usually nap, Kastor runs around and I get some (peaceful) exercise. Talk about multi-tasking! If any of you are in the market for a double stroller, click here for information on ours. It even has a speaker for my ipod so we can listen to music while we stroll.

Jeff's parent's and their kids (4 Aussies) made the long trip down from Massachusetts to visit us.

-5 Aussies stuck inside because of the rain
-Our day at the circus!!!!
-Lunch and warm chocolate chip cookies at Max and Erma's
-Linda sticking up for me when a crazy lady at the circus thought my umbrella could be used as a weapon (don't mess with Linda)
-Our morning hike in the woods
-Lee and Jeff completing lots of projects around the house (thanks guys!)
-Playing cards and drinking wine after the girls went to sleep
-Listening to Grampie play his new, beautiful trombone
-Watching Lily dance, sing and play her instruments with Grampie
-The Prager band...everyone joining in on the dancing and singing
-Giving 5 dogs a complete wipe down every time they went out to pee

Our Valentine's Day
Feb. 14th, 2008
I know, I know, it was almost a month ago. I am very behind on blogging. We've had two rounds of a bad cold and the flu virus. We also have had two sets of visitors. It's been a busy month. However, I still wanted to share a few pictures from our Valentine's Day. It was Emma's first Valentine's Day, Lily had a party at school and we made cookies and valentine's cards for her class. Jeff also sent me the most beautiful flowers and the best part....my Mom, sister and niece flew in for a long weekend visit. It was a super SWEET Valentine's Day!!

Warm Winter Days
The weather here last week was beautiful. We were in the 70's for days and even had one day where it hit 81! The temperatures have dropped again, but I still wanted to share these pictures. It's hard to believe these were taken February 4th in the middle of the Winter. Sorry to all our Maine family and friends...we don't mean to rub salt in the wound.
The swing was so relaxing....Emma decided to sneak in a little nap.

Through Lily's Eyes
Here are some of the pictures from Lily's camera. She's quite the shutter bug (just like her Mommy) and loves running around the house snapping pictures. Some may be seen as more interpretive art....
