SuperBuddy.....

So, we have Clark Kent aka Daddy, Supergirl aka Kelli and Gracie, Lois Lane aka Mommy and now we have SuperBuddy! He is such a sweet, adorable little dude and I swore I would never dress him up but I couldn't pass this up! SuperBuddy to save the day!

Trying new things....

A couple of weeks ago, we took the girls to Boomers for some golf and what not! Daddy really enjoyed teaching his girls all about the sport he loves so much! The girls weren't totally into it the whole time, but we had a great time! I think we may have accidentally gone home with a few balls from Boomers but I'm sure they won't miss them. I think we are going to continue to try new things......it was pretty dran fun! Although, I must remember to bring my Purell........those golf clubs were nasty!

Mickey Mouse is trying to tell us something....

My Mom and I were making zucchini fritters when out of the oil, Mickey Mouse appeared! My kids thought it was so cool!

Gramma and the camel.........

So, my parents just got back from a 3 week Mediterranean cruise and one of their ports was Tunisia! My Mom, being the roller coaster riding, fearless senior citizen that she is (just kidding Mom), decided to ride a camel while enjoying her north African destination. So, here is Gramma and her new friend, Camy (named by Kelli)!

Summer Saturdays at the beach....

Nope, we don't spend Saturdays basking in the sun, while listening to the laughter of our children as they play in the gentle waves that tickle their cute little toes. Our Saturdays are spent at Villa Rentals checking in the many wonderful vacationers who chose our great beach town for their vacation. But, this summer I did find myself curiously envious of all these families getting to pack and prepare for a family vacation and all the fun yet to be had. And I realized that for the next 10 years, summer vacations will not be a reality for us. But, yesterday was the first Saturday in 6 months that we were all home together and we had a fantastic day! I quickly realized just how very lucky I am to have the family that I have and a business that keeps our family going. While I might not get the opportunity to vacation myself, I get to provide vacations for others. And when all the vacationers have gone home and all the kids are back in school, I get to look forward to spending a Saturday at the beach too.

Gracie's Spectacular Spectacles.....

So today is a big day! Gracie got her glasses! And she looks adorable! Remember seeing Jerry Maguire and falling in love with the "human head weighs 8 pounds" kid? Well, she's even cuter! But, we have a slight problem.......she will wear them for 5-10 minutes, then off they go. So, I have been bribing her with M&M's, train rides, the zoo.......you name it, I am trying it. We'll see how long it takes for the glasses to become a part of her daily life.....but it's only Day 1 so I guess I should just chill out! But in the meantime, at least I am reassured that we are on our way to improving, if not completely curing, her Strabismus! Yeah! Now, I just need to stock up on glasses kits, cleaning cloths.......and oh yeah, more M&M's!

Thank you Bud-Bud.....

So, here I am blogging for the first time ever and who gets the honor of my very first post? My dog Buddy. Yes, it is shameful to write about him first and not my amazing daughter's, but he is currently the one in the room barking, biting and tormenting me for attention. While I adore him, he is relentless. But, had he not been bugging me right this minute, I wouldn't have gotten mad at him and ultimately, decide to tell everyone about his "issues". So I guess I should say "thank you Bud-Bud!" So, here goes to blogging....
