Sing and Drum...

Mimi's favorite pastime lately seems to be to find anything that she can drum on and sing with it...here are two great videos of her doing just that!  And she does not get interrupted at all by Daddy and me trying to play on her drums!

Long time no blog....

Wow!  The last time we talked to all of you was Halloween!  Mimi and I thought it was about time we showed you some updated pictures of things we have been up to...

 I brought Oliver the Bear home from school.  Each student brings him home for the weekend and takes pictures and writes in a book what Oliver did over the 3 days at their house.  So, Oliver got to ride in my jeep!  He really loved that!

 And Oliver got to celebrate Mommy's birthday with us.  He helped blow out the candles!

 We are LOVING the mid 60's weather lately.  We go to the park everyday!

 And after we play hard....we sleep hard!

 Daddy and Hank had a "Dad and Me" night at his school.  Hank got to dress up in his Halloween costume and he made a tie for Daddy to wear.  He got to play games and decorate a pumpkin.  Great night for Daddy and Hank!

 I finally finished my baseball season!  Got this awesome t-shirt and trophy.  I think I really like baseball!

 Check out my stance....

 Picnic for breakfast and a little love in the morning...

We visited the Botanical Gardens.  They had a great scarecrow festival...we liked this couple!

We head to Key West Florida on December 1st for Aunt Liz's wedding!  We are going to Orlando where the princesses and Mickey Mouse live for a couple days...then on to visit or friends Don and Erin in West Palm Beach and then to the Keys!  We will have a lot of pictures to share with you so we will see you after December 10th!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

 Hank is dressed and ready for school...so I had to be in my costume too for when we dropped him off at school!

 Mario and Princess Aurora Ballerina being very silly!

 Our Angry Birds Piggie pumpkin!

Our Black Angry Birds pumpkin!

Happy Halloween everyone!

 There was a pretty big hill...

 A HUGE THANK YOU to Uncle Tony for the awesome team t-shirts!  This is the front...

And thank you to all of you that donated!  We appreciate you thinking of us and helping us raise money to bring more awareness to food allergies.

Hi!  We are walking again this year in the Atlanta Food Allergy Walk on Sunday, October 14th.  We would love to have you consider a donation!  Please follow the link below and make your donation in Hank's name.  We are trying to raise $1000 and we are just a bit shy of that number...so please help us if you can!

Jersey Shore and Home...

Sorry it has been a couple weeks!  We have been busy and have not had a chance to post the rest of the pics from our trip up the East Coast.  These pictures are from our day at the Jersey Shore and our trip home...

 Mimi and Victoria playing "nice" in the sand

 Not sure what they are up to but it must be "no bueno"

 Say "cheese"

 It's too sunny to smile!

 Everyone has their own face...so unique!

 With Grandma and Grandpa...

 With our Moms and Dads...

 Fun time on the rides!  Hank is tall enough now to make it on some of the bigger rides!

 Daddy and Mim on the pink elephants...

 Hank and Brendan cruising on the motorcycles

Our trip home took us thru Charlotte to visit some friends and then to Greenville where Mommy had a Thirty-One meeting.  Daddy, Mimi and I got to play during Mommy's meeting and we found this awesome place to do it!

Kennywood - NJ Trip Part 1

First, to follow-up on Grandpa Wayne...he is finally doing better!  A week after the open-heart surgery  he is finally moving to a regular room out of critical care.  He had to undergo 2 rounds of dialysis to jump start his kidneys after his surgery and with a few other minor obstacles...he is finally getting better!  Yay!

These pics are from our East Coast Trip, August 10-18, 2012.  We saw and did a lot of things so we want to share them all with you!  We headed to Pittsburg, PA for an overnight stay to break up the trip and to enjoy an old amusement park!

 Day 1 was a 10 hour trip...make for a cranky Hanky!

 Mimi is always all smiles as long as she has a sucker!

 Our driver...aka, Dad, looks very serious...

 Dad and Hank standing in line for the first ride at Kennywood in Pittsburg, PA.  Mom says this is her favorite picture of her 2 guys!

 All strapped in for another good ride!

 Daddy and Hank on the Pounce Bounce

 Daddy and Hank in line for the Jack Rabbit Roller Coaster built in 1921 and still working!  They loved it...Hank loves his roller coasters!

 After a long hot day...what is better than some yummy slushies.  Different flavors and colors...we were very happy!

Ready to head to the hotel for some rest after a long drive and fun day at Kennywood!

More to come from our NY/NJ trip...stay tuned!
