"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!!
