Sunday!

Sunday was my last day of vacation and I wasn't looking forward to going back to work on Monday! Oh well its our life right now! We spent the day around the house. Went to the grocery store in the morning and then to the beach in the afternoon.

Mollie is loving her new bike seat. I have a few pictures that I need to post tonight. She is so darn cute in it.

I guess looking back on Sunday I don't have much to write about it! It was just a nice way to end my vacation. I'm already looking forward to my vacation in July!

Saturday!

I kept thinking all day that Saturday was Sunday! So it was nice when I did realize that I had two more days left of my vacation. We spent the day being busy once again. We went and visited with my grandmother. She always love seeing Mollie and Mollie loves her! After Mekays we went to Walmart to get a bike seat (thanks mom and dad) for Mollie. Brett installed it and Mollie loves it! I will post pictures as soon as I load them on to my computer. We went for 2 bike rides. The first one Mollie passed out! The second time she loved it and was awake to the very end!

It was my turn to get up with Mollie and she did really well through the night. I know that there is a reason why she is getting up and I will keep getting up with her!

One more day left of my vacation! I go to work for two weeks and then I'm on vacation again! I'm already counting down!

Have a great day!

Love,

Erika

Friday!

Friday was yet another busy day! Brett was finally home with us and we were so happy to have him home! As soon as he got home at 8am we were off for breakfast! We were also scheduled to have my uncle's Thule that we borrowed while we went to Florida taken off! Thank goodness that it is finally off!

After that we went for a ride with my Mom to Bristol, RI. What a cute little town. My cousin Phil is going to Roger Williams University in the fall and I'm looking forward to going to visit him. We walked in and out of all the little shops and we had lunch at a little dinner that was really good! It was a great day. Afterwards we were in for the night and it was nice to just relax!

We loved having Brett home with us!

Thursday!

Thursday was a day of running errands! We were all over the place. Mollie is always so good when she is on the go! Brett was working all day so it was just Mollie and I. We headed up to meet with my friend Andrea who I haven't seen in a long time. I love that we can go forever not seeing each other and when we do it is like we were never apart! We had a great dinner at California Pizza and then walked around the mall. It was a great night and I can't wait to do it again! Hopefully we don't go as long as we did this time.

It was a busy day and Mollie and I were exhausted when we got home! It was right to bed for both of us! I was hoping that Mollie would sleep through the night but that didn't happen, but its ok!

Wednesday!

Wednesday was a very fun day! My Dad took Mollie and I to a Red Soxs game! We had a blast even though it was raining and there was a few delays, but luckily we were under the grandstand! After the third rain delay we decided it was time to leave. Mollie did great and she got a pink hat!

Thanks Dad for taking us!!

Love,

Tuesday's Pictures!

Tuesday!

Today was another great day with Mollie! I told Brett tonight at dinner that I could really get use to being at home all the time with Mollie!

We spent the day being very busy bees! We did sleep till 830, but actually was awaken by Brett putting on his vest for work. Mollie wasn't a happy camper, but she went back to bed! After a yummy breakfast of apples and oatmeal we went and did our rounds of visiting people!

First stop was at Nonni's work. Mollie was a big hit there and she was showing off all of her new tricks. She is kind of clapping and she gets so excited when she does it! Also she is now giving zurberts or I guess raspberries, whatever you want to call them! Don't get her started with saying Hi. I know it really isn't hi but its close to it and she will go on forever saying it and will make sure she gets everyone's attention by saying hi to them.

After Nonni's, we were off to bring Brett some drinks. He was working a detail outside. Making the money! It was a quick visit since he could not talk long but was good to see him.

We were back at home to play for a while and have a short nap and when I mean short nap it was only 30 minutes. That's my catnapper!!

We also went to the library and the post office. Played in Mollie's new pool! As I said it was a busy busy day! We ended the day with a great dinner! Now it's time to go and relax with Brett.

Have a great night! I will post pictures tomorrow from our day! Sorry for the all the details of our day. Wanted to be able to remember it all some day!

Love,
Erika

Monday!

Today was a good day. It was just me and Mollie. We had a busy day! We went grocery shopping, to the beach, for a walk, cleaned out my car and went for another walk. Tonight was night one of sleep boot camp in our household. I think that Mollie only cried for 15 minutes tonight. Now the key is how long will she sleep and having to stand my ground that she will not come into our bed. I will let you know how it goes tomorrow!

I'm off to bed. Very tired! I'm looking forward to doing it all over tomorrow! Have a gnight!

Our Weekend Recap!

Our weekend was a busy one!!! Friday was a chill night at home with a nice dinner of french toast casserole!! I love having breakfast for dinner. It's the best. Saturday was a busy one running errands and then it was off to celebrate my godfather's graduation from mass maritime. He was doing his masters there!

Sunday was of course Father's day! Happy Father's Day to my husband who is a great husband and father! Also Happy Fathers day to my dad!!!! We love you both so much! The morning started off with Mollie and I making breakfast for Brett. Yummy pancakes and bacon!! It was also my Grandmother's birthday too! Mekay was turning 89. We had cupcakes and opened presents! It was a beautiful morning. Afterwards we spent time at the beach. Mollie loves it there! Brett went kayaking with my dad! The day ended with a water fight and a great dinner! It was a very good weekend and I hope everyone enjoyed theirs!

Memorial Day 2011

Memorial Day was a very relaxing day! We didn't do too much which was nice for a chance! We had a cook out at my parents and watched the parade go by. I think that we were in bed very early that night. It was pretty busy weekend with my Mom's party and having in town guest!

Here is what we did during the day!

Mom's 50th Surprise Birthday

Over Memorial Day we had my Mom's 50th Surprise Birthday Party! It was a wonderful night. The best part was that she didn't expect it and she cleaned and got everything ready for her own party! My parents had planned on having their monthly swim parents dinner and my dad decided that he would make it into my mom's surprise party! Very smart on my dad's end. The fun part was the people that were there. Leslie (my godmother and my mom's best friend) was there along with my mom's high school friends. Also my Uncle Johnny was attending a convention in Boston and came for the party. I couldn't believe that we pulled it off and that no one spilled the beans! It was a very hard week leading up to it and I think everyone was on edge worried to let the beans out of the bag.

We ran around like crazy on Saturday trying to make sure that we had everything that we needed. I had made cupcakes and cake pops. The cake pops were so good that I can't wait to make more!

My parents dinner party was to start at 6:30 so everyone who was invited to that showed up and then everyone else that was going to surprise her met at the town hall. Once we were all there we started our walk to my parents house and up the drive way to surprise the Birthday Girl! Brett had video taped it. I just have to figure out how to get it on the computer. We all started singing happy birthday and was my mom surprised. The first thing out of her mouth was that she had cleaned for her own party!

Here are some pictures from the night. It was a perfect night for a perfect mom who we love and are so thankful for!!

Happy Birthday Mom!
