Busy Busy Busy!

Another busy but great week for the Trifilio family! On Monday Bella had her first Ballet/Jazz/Hip Hop class. She LOVED it and did a great job, she was bumped up to the the 3-5yr old class. We are so proud !!! We spent a huge chunk of time waiting on a contractor to replace our shower door...that only came once to measure and we haven't heard from him since. AHHHH !!! We did have Meet the Teacher for Bella, and we were very impressed and enjoyed meeting Bella's new teachers for the year! The whole family went to a FUN FUN FUN birthday party this weekend. The kids had a blast swimming and fun in the sun!

The kids and I spent alot of quality time together playing, coloring, painting etc.! Bella really has surprised me with her sentence formation and has started to use proper terminology etc. She is so smart..too smart for her own good! My little man is just one walking and talking machine! His words of the week are Thank you, dog, and cat!! He has been quite the trooper running errands with us lately so we can get ready for Back to School! I have to admit I'm looking forward to having some one on one time with him, when Bella starts back to school!

This week so far is filled with Back to School, hair cuts, playdates, and more!!!

"To infinity ... and beyond!"

We had another great week and a busy one to say the least. Daddy had to go out of town for work again, so the kids and I did everything possible to stay busy. We went to several playdates, ran a ton of errands, and went to the pool several times. I even squeezed in a mini MNO!! WHOOP!!! We are also trying to get our house squared away and on the market, and of course with that in mind we have been looking at houses for weeks now. Hopefully all of our ducks will line up soon and we will find our dream home and sell our house quickly. One can only hope right??? Our trip to the SplashPad was fantastic on Thurs. and our trip to the pool on Friday was even better. My children are absolutely water babies!!! THEY LOVE IT and aren't afraid at all. I really should look into getting them into lessons. Hmmm I need to add it to my To-Do list. Daddy surprised us and came home early. So we all were able to make it to Zube Park on Saturday to ride the trains. It was baby Frankie's first visit and he LOVED IT!! We will need to make this a regular thing to do. Both Saturday and Sunday were family days and we loved every second of it. The weather in the Atlantic is starting to act up and at any given moment daddy could get activated for work, and that means would potentially don't see him for weeks! Eeek!! So we try and soak it up while we can.

Both kids are doing incredible! I'm happy to report that Bella finally knows her colors or at least is saying them out loud correctly. We've been working on letter sounds this week and talking about school. She is still loves all of her barbies and princesses, and her memory still AMAZES me. She will sing every Disney song from start to finish. Plus the girl LOVES to dance and will make a day of it. Bella is getting quite protective of her little brother and is playing with him more and more every day. She still is testing us on occasion, but I think THANKFULLY our NO phase has passed. Our new battle is bed time routine, but hopefully that too shall pass.

Little man is doing INCREDIBLE!! and has become OBSESSED with Buzz Lightyear he carries around a mini figurine of Buzz EVERYWHERE. He has also become quite the chatter box and has added several new words to his vocabulary. Frankie is still amazing me with his "physical" differences over Bella at this age. He crawls, climbs etc. over everything and Bella never did. WOW! The boy/girl difference is incredible. He still LOVES to eat everything and we haven't found something yet that he has frowned at. I do think it is cute that he has started to chase after the big boys...his time will come! Where does the time go?

Bella will be starting dance and school soon and little man and I will have some quality time together! We have another busy week and weekend ahead of us with playdates, parties, contractors, and more!!

I know I know...

it has been WAY to long since my last post. Honestly it would take to much time to write down every little detail of the past month and a half...but to sum it all up we have had LOTS of birthday parties & playdates, fun with friends, celebrated Frankie's 1st Birthday, fun with family, visit from my cousins in Wisc. (trip to FTW), tossing around the idea of selling the house, getting ready for Bella to go back to school, Bella's trip to the ER, and much much more. I promise to write more and sit down at least once a week. So...until then here are some pics!!
