Catching up and Flashing Back


When Berk wanted to put on this dress (a hand me down from Elliott) I immediately remembered taking pictures of her in the same dress when she was 1 1/2 (November 2009) right after we moved in out on our driveway.  She got dressed and we headed outside for an updated shot.  She sure has grown! That's one thing that is pretty fun about having matching outfits for the girls, Berkley is now big enough to wear ones that E wore when she was a baby. So I have double pics of her in them.  I know I say it all the time, but time sure does fly by!

 The girls were way excited about Valentines Day and had lots of fun putting together goodie bags and cards for all their friends.


We took the kids out for a treat for being good (as far as we know) while we were on our cruise. We went to one of my favorite restaurants from when I was a kid. The Magic Time Machine. Its in Addison and has awesome themed booths with waiters that are dressed up.  We had Mario and he stayed in character using a super high voice (rather impressive) the whole time.  Berkley was so excited to see a bunch of princesses, they even got autographs.  She said it was almost as good as Disney World.  (A lot cheaper too!)

Before dinner we played upstairs in the arcade while we waited for our table. You can see how intrigued P was by the motorcycle game
 He was so excited to get a turn!
 My big boy!
 Berkley got tired of waiting and thought we should just eat right there. Luckily she found it was worth the wait!
 Valentines day the girls woke up to a surprise donut from Dunkin Donuts and a little treat.  My friend Laura made them the little place mats, aren't they cute?!
 Berk declared that it was the best Valentines day EVER!

 We had E's class party next.  The kids LOVED this game. Took up way more time than I thought because they had so much fun with the chopsticks and hearts

 Berk was super impressed
 This is E with her good friend Evan. Pretty much my favorite picture ever of her. I guess maybe I should always have a cute boy for her to take pictures with......
 B liked hanging out with the big kids
 I almost didn't post this picture- I mean why does Berk look evil? I have never in my life seen that face. PRetty funny.
 Patton LOVES babies. He gets so excited when Eli comes over, he likes to give him kisses and hugs. (which is just giving head bumps basically).
 We had a baby shower for our good friends Terry and Emily- I went to high school with both of them. I've known Terry since we used to play the sax together starting in 6th grade.
 Most of the girls- we all went to high school together, with the exception of Jackie in the pink on the end, she married one of our high school guys- none of us are sure why ;-)

Since we have all been buddies for 10+ years I dragged out some of the old photo albums, so fun to look back on!

 Watch out Berkley there is a new popcorn bandit in town.  See this OLD POST HERE He kept grabbing huge handfuls of popcorn and shoving them in his mouth.  Choking Hazard...what?

He also liked to try to hand off popcorn to everyone else
