A Tale of Two Lil' Waldners

Meeting our puppy!!!

This past weekend, we were able to visit with the puppy litter. Although we haven't officially been told "which" puppy is ours, we had a blast visiting all of them. There was one in particular that took a liking to us and wanted us to hold her the entire time. Melt your heart!!!! We put a deposit on a yellow female so we'll cross our fingers...but honestly, they were all so stinkin' cute that it doesn't really matter!

Check out the pictures... sorry for the blurry ones, Reagan was the photographer! :)

Coming soon...

Our new addition to the family...a new PUPPY!!!! Some may know and some may not know but this spring, we lost our beloved Ellie. They believe she had a stroke...it was pretty tragic and we were soooo devastated. And in honor of her 11 years of life, we are bringing another pup into our family! We will be bringing her home Labor Day weekend. Here are the most recent pics we have...soooooo cute & cuddly!

Going on tour...

So the Waldner fam has been on quite a golf kick lately...Jack & Matt recently got some new clubs and Reagan got her new "pink" set for her birthday in May so we've been having fun trying them out! Now I feel a little left out...I'm the only member of the family without clubs. Maybe someday...Jack's been taking golf lessons this summer and L.O.V.E.S it...he asks Matt to go out & play every weekend. This past weekend, they played 9 holes on Saturday AND then we all went to the driving range on Sunday to practice our drives and putting. ha! Well, here are some pictures of our weekend golf...and p.s. I really like the Hipstamatic app on my iphone! A huge thanks to those that recommended it - awesome!!!!! It takes super cool pics...check 'em out!

If you look closely in the picture below, you will see a blur of buildings in the horizon. That's the Boston skyline. We had the most amazing view of the city while hitting balls on the driving range. It was a gorgeous day...so fun!

Here's Reags showing off her putting skills...the putting green kept the kids occupied for almost an hour (not kidding!!!). You can really see the city skyline behind her in this pic.

My 3 golfers...having a great day! Check out all of their Red Sox hats...Jack insisted we ALL wear our "B" hats to the course. Cheesy...YES but his enthusiasm was really cute!

Matt's giving pointers in this picture to both Jack & Reagan...so funny!

Hello. Goodbye. Hello again!

So I realized it's been since APRIL since I posted on our family blog - yes, APRIL! Wow, I've been totally slacking. Life got sooo crazy at the end of the school year and I just couldn't bring myself to sit and update the blog. But now that life has slowed down (okay, not really!), I'm going to try & update all of you guys on what we've been up to!

So hmmmmm, let's see - Jack graduated from Kindergarten and will be a big bad First Grader. That's totally crazy in my opinion - how can my little baby be a First Grader????? He is not allowed to get any older, lose any teeth or learn to read...that just makes him too big for me! After a long winter of hockey, he decided to play baseball this spring. He loved it...and also finished up his soccer season. He has decided he does NOT like soccer (a secret woohoo from Matt & I). ha! This summer, he will be busy playing hockey (yes, I will be spending time in the cold ice rink this summer!!!), golf and doing a few camps. Fun and Busy...that's the way we like it!

Reagan is a preschool graduate and excited to start Kindergarten. See feelings above...she can't be this old!!!! I get a little teary-eyed when I think about it. So enough of that crazy talk...just going to enjoy our summer and not think about school yet! :) Our little Miss Reagan is playing hockey this summer - and I have to add, she rocked her first time on the ice with full pads and a stick. Go girl! This spring, she was involved in gymnastics and really liked it! She is quite strong (takes after her mama, jk!) and can do pull-ups on the uneven bars. What?!? I can't even do a pull-up...now granted, I have a few more lbs. to pull up! ha! Tennis is also a new activity for us this summer...loving that too.

We took a post-school, pre-summer trip to Aruba as a family and it was amazing. Our first time to the island and we told ourselves we would go back and hopefully soon. I will post pics of that trip in a separate blog posting but it was awesome.

Hope all my blogger friends are doing well and I vow to be a better "poster"...

Happy 4th of July, E & gang

Oh how we miss you, dear Punta Cana!!!!

It has been a month since we were on vacation and I still find myself daydreaming about the lazy days at the pool and cold drinks on the beach!!! aaaahhhhhh, we miss it!! All 4 of us had a fabulous time in Punta Cana and would definitely recommend it to everyone else. Our resort was awesome - perfect for families and couples too! Instead of going on & on about how amazing it was...why don't I just post some pictures & show you! :)

Dinner at the beach

The kids loved going sailing

We are BACK...

Sorry it's been awhile since our last post. We had our amazing vacation to the Dominican and I feel like life has been a little crazy since getting home. We were hit with the stomach bug which knocked us out for over a week. ugh! But now we are back on track...and loving some of the warm days that have come our way. A few weeks ago, Jack had a day off. It just so happened to be on a Friday (woohoo) so Reagan didn't have school either. The kids and I took the train into Boston and had a GREAT afternoon/evening in the city. We went to the Aquarium and then met friends at this beautiful playground with water views. The weather was warm & sunny...and in March, we'll take it! After saying good-bye to our friends, we met up with Matt and his co-workers for happy hour. FUN FUN! Here are some pictures of our fun trip into the city...
