Mojitos, Margaritas and Medalla Light's OH MY!

Let's just say Matt and I had our fill of the above drinks this past week (Matt - the Medalla, a local beer and Erin - the others!!!!!) when we vacationed in San Juan, Puerto Rico! Life was sure good to us as we layed by the pool sipping our favorite beverage and reading a juicy novel over the last few days. The El San Juan Hotel & Casino was amazing...and the town of Old San Juan was such a historic wonder! And on top of all this, the FOOD was so delicious!!! Even though Matt and I were religious about working out each morning, the decadent food put on some pounds for sure! :)



Here are a few pictures of our amazing vacation!

Here is Matt relaxing in our hotel room!

The most amazing fort - El Morro in Old San Juan

The huge waves that hit San Juan

The happy couple!

Our hotel (and most importantly the BAR!)

A BIG thank you to Nana & Papa Waldner for having a blast with the kids while Mom & Dad relaxed in Puerto Rico!

BIG boy = BIGGER bed

Well, the time has come...Jack is officially a BIG boy and needs a big boy bed. A month ago or so we purchased a queen bed for his room. Because Mommy is so on the ball these days, just TODAY Jack picked out his new bedding (well, only the pillow) and we put it on the bed for him to see!!!! As you can tell by the pictures, he LOVES it! If you can't see what's on the pillow - it's Spiderman...Jack's favorite super hero!!! Enjoy...

The Future is So Bright...

Reagan's gotta wear shades!!! :) (Daddy's shades, I might add!)



Here is a silly picture of Reagan wearing Daddy's sunglasses. Have I mentioned that she is a Daddy's girl - I would actually call it "Daddy Obsessed" and it is so cute! I love it...just how you picture a father-daughter relationship! When she bumps her head, she calls for Daddy. When she wants to show off her latest toy, she calls for Daddy. At night when she's upset, she calls for Daddy. In the morning when she wakes up & wants to get out of her crib, she calls for Daddy. You get the picture, right? I'm sure this whole scenario will change in about 14 years when she wants to start dating & Daddy says "NO WAY"! THEN...she will be calling my name! :)

HGTV...watch out!

Reagan just might be the next Design Star!!!! :) Thanks to Nana & Papa for getting Reagan a dollhouse because she is really enjoying it. Her imagination runs wild as she rearranges the furniture (usually stacked on top of each other), adds her personal touch to the decor (with her cheerios) and throws in some color (crayons - oops!).

Here she is enjoying her dollhouse...every day is an adventure!

Think Pink, Beantown!!!

On May 17th & 18th, Team "Think Pink, Beantown!" will be walking 39 miles for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer here in Boston. I need your help, though! My sister, her friend Julie & I need to raise $1,800 EACH to participate in this amazing event. The funds raised by us will go to local, regional & national breast cancer organizations to support awareness, research, education, screening, etc.

What a mess in the kitchen but what fun everyone had eating the treats!!!! yum! The younger girls had more fun looking out the window at the rain & chatting in their own little toddler language!

Mommy!

Well, since Jack received his own digital camera from Aunt Jill for Christmas - he now thinks he is able to use ALL of our cameras. Last evening, he took some photos with our camera. These pictures are from "Jack's viewpoint". Enjoy!
